I'm convinced he is trying to hide a weak OL.


Just hope we can keep it close and not get embarrassed

The last report of him being nicked, and barely nicked, was in August


Wrong.

I'm aware of Saban's comments. It's been a nagging knee injury since August, which is when it was reported. Cam himself said it wasn't bad.

Again, every OL player wears a knee brace, struggles with knees/ankles, various joints. It's nearly November.

Of course he said it wasn't bad, players aren't going to try and show any weaknesses. It was an injury in which he got carted off the field in August.

You are saying just because it is an injury from August, then it isn't anything bad or debilitating?

The point I'm making is that I continually read from Bama fans that his performance has been subpar because of injuries. I think based on information available, that's sensationalized quite a bit. It's not like he's coming off of surgery and just getting back in the rotation. He's played all year.

Even Saban doesn't think it's bad or he'd not play him.

You will see it in two weeks. LSU will be in our backfield as much as Derek Henry.They may even huddle up with us.

Biggest issue is penalties. Next biggest issue is some bad play calling on 1st down always getting us behind schedule.

Pretty bad year. The line is a big offender of missed assignments. I would say the linemen get beat on an average level, but every game there are tons of plays where someone is just not touched. I remember in the aggies game cam rob deciding to block the OLB and let Miles Garrett run past him untouched. False starts feel rampant, but I'm not sure of the stat.

Basically Alabama's offense is Henry and Receivers.

the fact that he is been injured the whole year.


What fact? What's the injury? The guy is on the field, he can play or not. He chooses to dog it.

Watch the tape, his 2 back to back sacks have zero to do with injury. The second one he just stood there and didn't touch the guy.

Yes flat out not playing well and that allows bama to say he's hurt.

Yeah right. If his injury caused back to back sacks, no head coach would leave him in. That's just retarded thinking.

Whos the back-up? Guy must be a complete failure of a player.
