[It Takes Eleven]

Good heavens. I take one flight and this thread turns into a five-way melee:

Pretty bush league for a bama fan to say tua "is made of paper mache". Let a 300 pound guy fall on ur angle and I guarantee your arse is gonna feel pain. Chrissakes the kid has battled thru injury before and this week is first game he will miss in his career. Deshaun Watson tore both ACLs and has turned out ok. Tua will be ready I firmly believe .

I agree with the comments. This Boz-wannabe is full of .

I personally don't think Tua will make it back it time but this clearly nonsense.

Josh, I got a note about his surgery and how it went compared to last year and you'll find the news

I'm looking at this without Crimson glasses. I'm praying Tua is able to play and I believe he will. But in the event he doesn't I don't like our chances.
Reason being just look at M. Jones performance he played more than a half and only put up 7 pts against TN. He was 6/11 for 72 yds and a QBR rating of 40.5. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and maybe I'm wrong but I don't think so. LSU will load the box and make us throw and make M. Jones beat them thru the air and I don't think that can happen. JMO.

But in that 6/11, how many drops were there? I recall him hitting Tennison dead between the 8’s! There were 1-2 more I believe. People look at the one he skipped to Jeudy on the out route and totally disregard the BB he hit Smith with on the 18-20 yard dig route. Those 2-3 drops likely meant another 25-30 yards at least. Mac will perform better knowing he is QB1 this week and going forward. I too believe that Tua will be ready when the Tigahs come calling on 11/9.

@UAgrad93 spot on.

Post op check up ... he's doing better with this one than he did with the last. It's not definitive, but when a patient doesn't have the swelling that normally is expected ... good news all around, so far.

I actually went back and watched the condensed version of the game last night. There were 2 drops, one by the TE and one by Najee (although he made a good grab on another throw by Mac). There was another throw he made that was a dart to Jeudy on a slant. Jeudy got held up a little, which knocked the timing off just enough or else it would have been on the money.

After Mac got sacked, he was a little tentative and throwing off his back foot. That is when he skipped it to Jeudy. He worked through it.

I for one hoping to see #13 come out on Bama first offense play!
