re: Boz, will you be at today’s scrimmage? (Redux)

Who were Tua’s touchdowns to?

Jesus Christ, these injuries.

We are going to have to beg Keith Holcombe to come back out and suit up.

Still think the qb is obviously going to be Tua?

Yep - Jalen is moving to linebacker.

I think - too - that players’ leg strength may be too much for the ligaments.

I dunno...something is up.

If there are more ligament injuries than in the past, and I'm not sure that there definitely are, but if there are more, it's because of the advances in modern medicine, most notably in the arena of arthroscopic surgery/ligament reattachment techniques.

Not that long ago, a massive knee blow-out was career-ending. Now, that player can be back in 6-10 months. And this is the point: a certain percentage of football players are more susceptible to joint injuries because of genetics. There's the difference. In the past, most of these guys' careers would be over. But they come back, and tear them again. Those people with multiple tears are likely the reason for an increase in tears over time.

30 years ago, a blown-out knee meant a job at Dairy Queen. Not today.

Any word on how that convo went between Saban and Jalen's dad?

Bout tired of the OR narrative . Maybe he just doesn’t want to announce before the game . It is getting old though for sure

So other than the Allen injury is the consensus that things went well and we looked pretty good on both sides of the ball?

Well of course it’s changed one is trying to keep his job and throwing at everything. The exact same scenario as last year but reversed.
