And it's been happening with increasing frequency over the last two years. There's no excuse for half the defensive roster to be on the IR list year in and year out.


What’s your answer then? We sell Alabama as a place where the best come to COMPETE for a starting job. You can’t find out who the best are without full speed contact drills and scrimmages. Say what you will about Pat Dye, but he learned from Bear Bryant about discovering who your players are in PRACTICE. This is a direct quote from him on a Huntsville radio station a few years back. “You worry about injuries, you not going to get much done. You can’t learn to play football without contact.”

Bryant: “If a man is a quitter, I’d rather find out in practice than in a game. I ask for all a player has so I’ll know later what I can expect.”

That's not my job. That's Saban's job and Cochran's job.

I 100% agree.

However, something has clearly changed in the way these players prepare because these season-ending injuries are occurring with more regularity than they had been in the first 10 seasons of Saban's tenure.
