An inordinately high number of injuries. I don't think any team would be able to survive this number of losses on top of losing their top 3 of the 4 RBs on top of the depth chart prior to the season. Also one of our rotational DEs had a damn appendectomy -- like what the hell are the chances of THAT? Freak stuff really. Is it wrong that I hope bama has a steak dinner to celebrate their upcoming Iron Bowl win the night before the game, next week, and half their team gets food poisoning? Only seems fair.

Probably wasn't funny, but I damn sure laughed seeing his face when we got down to the practice field and he said, "Uh oh", and then tried to run back to the field house and get out of his pads at the same time.

While likely hilarious (since the game is at Bryant-Denny and not on the hallowed grounds of Jordan-Hare), I'd prefer the incident be happenstance and not something we actually did to them. All thought, they could all come down with the flu and they'd find some way to blame us for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the "victim" thinks it's a funny story now though....hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oracle79 3,569 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Some players get hurt, some don't. There are exceptions, but for the most part it's a pattern. Not sure if that's luck, or just their DNA and the way they play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't understand why any receiver prospects would come to AU. We can't get the ball to them and the coaches can't coach catching a football. Also apparently we don't coach proficient route runing according to pro football scouts. It's sucks and I'm still pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an entire offense or defense, plus 1. And that's not counting the ones who might play again or the ones who are playing hurt. I'll admit, for a few days now, been sort'a expecting the OP to change the thread name to "RB-less running game" Probably problematic to scheme for.

Auskip 196 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 My concern is not a Pettway-less running game, it's an H-back-less running game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU80cruiser 1,102 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I'm looking forward to seeing Rudy ford getting his shot at running back after 4 years on defense. He has a chance to write history if he can pull off a huge game against this mighty Alabama defense. Can't wait to see what happens next week with Rudy win lose or draw.

AU80cruiser 1,102 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Kam Martin in no way is ready to carry the load. He has done some good things this year but his time will be next year or the nextaking, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 5' 10", 177... and those are Auburn numbers, which means they are probably generous. Kerryon has 3" and 40 lbs on him. He's a change of pace back.

Tiger 8,835 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Kam can excel in the O-Mac/Corey Grant role if the pieces around him are in place IMO. If we have zero interior running threat his job becomes exponentially harder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
