🏈 Dylan Moses with an ACL injury--out indefinitely

[Justneedme81]

I'm curious to see and I know it is not ideal... but will Both LB be back in time for final 3 games?

I'm not a doctor but I would say there is a 0% chance either is even close to being back by then.

We've had players coming back from ACL and play in the game later in the season.

Doesn’t Sunseri coach the linebackers? I feel like we have the coaches in place this year to shore up any shortcomings on defense.

 

[TerryP]

@BamaFisher, yes, outside. Golding has in the inside guys and I feel for the guy. A hell of a load he's got on his shoulders.

Anyone think we slide Ben Davis back inside. I realize it’s taken 4 years to crack the 2-deep at OLB. I’m guessing there is less to grasp playing outside vs inside?

Welp, we got 5 tuneups to try and figure it out. Other than Tua, couldn’t be a bigger loss anywhere.

I think this is definitely and option, I mean Bens been in the process now for what 4 years, I would like to see him get a shot with rotation with Lee/Moody, I like a good comeback story

The mental aspect is a lot to handle at ILB. Don't know if that's the place he can be most successful at this point... Especially with the injury history at OLB - He may find the field there soon also.

How many inside backers?

Sounds like coaches got a lot to do....but this is bama and #1 recruiting classes out the butt...other programs wilt with such....
Lots of real games to get people experienced.....the losses are great.....but better score 40 on this D.....the o is going to put up 50

Awful news for Dylan, really hate it for the guy entering the season as one of the top LBs in the country. He's got to be devastated today.

Will we start the game with a LB calling plays that hasn't really played meaningful downs before? Scary if you ask me. Guys get out of position just slightly and it gets ugly fast. Who was the kid a few years ago that kept coming in and seemed to miss assignments every other play at inside backer? It's a place you can't pretend. And experience is very very valuable. This hurts. Thankful Allen is coming back but he hasn't played in almost 2 years after his pre-season ACL last year. Our LB experience is non-existent starting this season. I don't want to be nervous by week 3 in Columbia... Can't have 2010 again.

Sure seems like we've had more injuries to starters (top performers) the last few years than other contenders. Maybe it's just me. 2017 we were down 4 or 5 of our top LBs for a few weeks.

50... Nick and staff have missed on ILB (latest class sounds better) the previous couple of years and now we're in a bit of a pinch. Either these two freshmen backers are elite or those recruited before them are average or maybe less.

Dusty Springfield ….Wishin and Hopin ….for solid ILB play in 2019.

@BamaBoyJosh
Spoke with Matt...it was a temporary, time limited suspension.

He won't be in the game thread.

I’ve had that peckerwood on ignore for almost a year now.

You mean you aren’t interested in his insightful commentary? His, unique perspective of the game? You could really be missing out on some of the best football knowledge there is! Straight out of Smith’s Station

 

[OldPlayer]

How does this happen in a practice? Can Saban not learn to limit contact so the same shit doesn't happen every year?

ACL tears don't just happen in contact. I know a guy who tore his ACL going down the steps in his house.

More than likely the damaged was from previous injury and just finally came undone. Hopefully the surgery will go well for the young man.

Adversity in Titletown..... we'll see

Benton.... WYA?!

 

[planomateo]

Tempted to start an Sportsbook O/U on how many games he can control himself... if I get enough likes I'll do it

 

[50+yeartidefan]

A 5* at on the 2s.....
I know what you said @JoseyWalesTheOutlaw but.....

Ten Bears tells me Benton will NOT be on the Bama roster come 2020. I tend to agree. It appears he is missing something where that is actual talent, smarts, or motivation. Both he and Ben Davis have been disappointing.
