Qua Russaw to miss SOME time

[WMack4Bama]

On Sunday, Alabama announced that the starting Wolf backer will be some time after undergoing foot surgery for an injury sustained in the win over Georgia. No word on the amount of time he'll miss or the severity of the injury. Get used to Yonze Pierre as Russaw and his backup Jamarian Latham are both injured and out of action.

Well this sucks.

@WMack4Bama so what does it look like for depth behind Pierre until Qua returns?

D can't catch a break with injuries...

Russaw is a big loss. I wasn't specifically watching him, but it seemed like Pierre was playing well - anyone have an actual read on how he looked?

Pierre has been solid... We just don't have much depth.

Hill is a guy who just needs experience and seasoning.

I saw one review that said Noah Carter was a true talent, but needs to be more mature.

Pierre and Hill will get after it.

I'm very optimistic on Pierre. IMHO, slightly better pass rush, but not quite as great run defense, but the way wommack uses the wolf on run D sometimes I don't know that it matters much. Hill behind him has potential, but is young. I wouldn't be totally shocked to see us run a bit more heavy packages with 2 DT, and 2 Bandits (and no wolf).

I could definitely seeing us go heavy against a really big senior laden Vandy front...

And Hill will do well I think, with a bit of learning on the job, but we are fortunate to have a deep group of DL. They aren't all NFL level guys, but they seem to work and play hard.
