The standout senior linebacker is healthy, back down to 230 pounds and set to start at inside linebacker when Alabama plays Florida State on Saturday.

Hamilton is also faster and more explosive than he was before tearing his ACL, according to numbers from Alabama's Catapult system that tracks things such as a player's speed.

"I feel good, better than ever," Hamilton said. "I'm just excited to get back on the field in an actual game. I'm ready to go."


I was feeling all warm and fuzzy when I read this. Then I got to the bottom of the article, and Evans sobered me up a little with this quote.

quote:

I feel like now he's starting to get a lot more comfortable running on that knee that he had the injury on. I think he'll probably do good, man. Just the fact with this knee, it being sore and stuff like that, I think all of these practices have kind of like loosened it up a little bit


Sounds like SDH is playing with some pain. I tore my meniscus. My knee hurt for years after that injury.

I'reckon We'll find out soon enough. SDH such a good dude I'm really hoping for a big season for him this year.

I share your concern. Another quote from Evans: "I am sure he will probably do a good job" might seem like an endorsement and I am probably reading too much into it but I don't like the word "probably" from a teammate. Yeah, I am a bit worried about it.

I also am not surprised to hear about Najee. From an athletic standpoint he is probably the most gifted on the roster and that speaks volumes when you have a stable full of NFL guys including a hulk like, beast in Bo.

Those gifs you posted summer have definitely got my attention. Well done.

Could also mean he felt some soreness early on but now it's loose
