[utstnx]

Can anyone use this thread to update on the injuries?
Wilson? - I belive Saban said post game hes out(like for the year) ankle might be serious
Hand? - idk?
Minkha? - went back in game so prolly not too serious
Shuan Dion? No inside info but going back and re-watching...Knee looked dislocated on field when they pulled open knee cover. You could see kneecap out of place.

Per 247 Charlie Potter.....

Hearing it wasn’t an ACL injury for Shaun Dion Hamilton, it was actually a broken patella, per a source. Mack Wilson sustained a broken foot.

Yeah his knee cap looked like it was about to protrude. May have just been the angle.

With both out, who is the starting MLB?

 

[utstnx]

Dang it! So that means

Hamilton- Done for this year
Wilson- Done for this year
Hand ??
Minkha??

Moses maybe. Looked like he got playing time last night and even made a tackle in the backfield if i recall correctly.

This will hurt us badly the rest of way. 5 star freshman like Moses, Cowan, Davis can't come close to SDH. Losing Wilson hurts not just defense but kick coverage as well. Mix in the already two OLB we have been missing and I don't know how we will pressure the QB. Holcomb will help stop run but as far as pressure, Fitzgerald, Stidham, and Fromme will have much better outlooks. Then the playoffs. I don't like our chances near as much. Huge losses

I disagree. I think with enough practice Moses can be the guy with not as much drop off. He's bigger and faster than Hamilton. Don't get me wrong, Hamilton is a fabulous player whose production will be missed BIG TIME, but I think Moses can amply fill in for him. Our coaches will do everything it takes to get him in the right spots, even if we use his skills to blitz more.

Mack Wilson is going to be tougher to replace in my mind because he was a thumper and has a major knack for the ball like Reuben Foster. He is a very active backer and is 100mph every play. That is going to be harder to replace than Hamilton, atleast in my mind.

Fitzgerald and Fromm don't scare me one bit. Stidham bithers me because we have shown ability to throw on our defensive backs. Sure, statistics show we have done well, but we haven't played anyone thT can teuly spin the ball, and you see what happened last night. Same song and dance, and if we have a quarterback than can place the ball, that's when we actually could get beat. Neither Bulldogs have enough talent to hang for four quarters. LSU matches up with us moreso than any other team on a regular basis and you saw they got gassed and we kept coming

Yes, Coach Saban has already said both are out!

 

[colbyjacks]

I don’t think any backup is devoid of talent or athletic ability. My concern is being where you are supposed to on the play and also whose job is it to make adjustments ?

Exactly. Holcombe missed his gap assignment on the long run that set up ls(who)'s touchdown.

 

[rick4bama]

He a player that all I got to say!!

 

[PhillyGirl]

Welp I'm nervous.

Holcombe

Holcombe

Until Moses supplants him...Or at least gets a good split with him. Kid's a beast!

You are VASTLY underrating SDH there. There is absolutely no chance in hell that a freshman is going to come in and fill the giant void left by SDH. It's not just pure ability, it's about knowledge of the defense, he was also making calls for the defense, and just the shear experience he had.

It's probably going to be a combination of Rashaan, Holcombe and Moses handling the middle. With Rashaan rushing off the edge, too that will put more pressure on Holcombe and Moses.

Hootie was out of position, too.

 

[EasyTider]

Hootie was out of position, too.

CNS said 1/2 the defense missed the shift call.

 

[ColAngus]

We've lost 4 of our top 5 LB's. We run a defense predicated on LB play.

“Mack Wilson had a foot injury that will put him out for 4-6 weeks,” Saban said. So we could get him back for playoffs!
