I tend to believe this myself, it's a polarizing topic amongst Bama fans, but when you have THIS many high profile players at key positions going down year after year, you can't just chalk it up 100% to bad luck. There is a common denominator somewhere and it's not random chance.
But what’s changed? It’s the same strength and conditioning staff and medical staff that Alabama has had since 2007. Scott Cochran and Jeff Allen has been mainstays.

I don’t think he has a damn thing to do with it. Kids play football bc it’s fun. I dont think there is much fun with Saban’s “process.”

If I had the answer I'd be happy to share it. I do know that the injuries have steadily begun to increase when Alabama began to recruit and develop a more "athletic" type of defensive front 7. Maybe something changed in the S&C program at that time that is leading to more injuries. Like I said, I have no evidence nor does anyone else that I'm aware of. It's just pretty difficult to say that "bad luck" is the reason why many key Alabama defenders have gone down to injury the last 5 or so years.
