Title: Alabama Injury Update & Other Stuff Post by: Marshal Dillon on August 24, 2017, 06:49:12 PM I don't think Jacobs will be ready for another 3-5 weeks. Just my opinion.
Quote -- Saban said Alabama is being cautious with running back Josh Jacobs, who isn't really practicing. He explained that hamstring injuries are "sensitive." -- Saban said that freshman Jedrick Wills is competing with Matt Womack to become the team's starting right tackle. http://www.al.com/alabamafootball/index.ssf/2017/08/live_updates_from_nick_saban_n_2.html Title: Re: Alabama Injury Update & Other Stuff Post by: Marshal Dillon on August 24, 2017, 06:50:14 PM And this.
Quote Saban said it's conceivable Alabama will use multiple kickers Week 1 and punter JK Scott would be used on long field goals while Joseph Bulovas and Andy Pappanastos will compete for the job of taking the shorter tries.

I will probably cover my eyes every time we have a place kick. Maybe for the entire season.

You should be used to the kicking game by now. :( Title: Re: Alabama Injury Update & Other Stuff Post by: ricky023 on August 25, 2017, 08:30:24 AM Whatever happen to the days of our older kickers when they could win games on the last kick? RTR!

RTR! I can't figure out why other teams, like Auburn, FSU, Georgia, etc., seem to always have good kickers but we struggle. Strange. ??? Title: Re: Alabama Injury Update & Other Stuff Post by: 2Stater on August 25, 2017, 10:49:18 AM I'd rather win championships.
Title: Re: Alabama Injury Update & Other Stuff Post by: Marshal Dillon on August 25, 2017, 11:24:21 AM I'd rather win championships. Might have won more with a solid kicking game, like 2013. No rule against having a good kicking game just because you have a great defense, solid running game, and good QB.

Hey MD isn't this Joey kid that came in suppose be one of those great kickers this year? RTR! Title: Re: Alabama Injury Update & Other Stuff Post by: McBaman on August 26, 2017, 10:42:15 AM Jacobs isn't going to play vs. FSU. We will need him in the back half of the season when guys start to get banged up. The earliest I see him getting limited action is the OM game. Might want to have him available for aTm the following week.
Title: Re: Alabama Injury Update & Other Stuff Post by: ricky023 on August 26, 2017, 10:55:06 AM I hate to say it but I wish Emmons would have stayed also. He could got playing time at some position I think. RTR!

Might want to have him available for aTm the following week. Yep, Ole Miss is September 30th so he should be ready. The problem is he may be out-of-shape and running tentatively. I just hope no RB's get hurt. Jacobs is an excellent RB and he plays special teams, too. I really like his playing skills. He returned the blocked punt for a TD against Florida in the SEC Championship Game. |
