Nah, that's been proven false time after time. I just require actual reason for it, not recycled horseshite from ITAT.

Only Lacy did but Lacy had injury problems before he became the starting RB. Hell his injury troubles even go back to his high school days.
Ingram was projected as a late 1st round/ early 2nd pick and he was. Yeldon was projected anywhere from the mid 2nd round to 3rd round. He went early than expected.

It's a rough sport, they play grown man football at Alabama. Day after day you battle against the best in the country, shits brutal in that program and you have to earn your keep. It's no place for pussies.

Do you expect Bama fans to apologize if a few players get injured?

Look guys, this pitiful barner is working the shite out of google right now desperately trying to find evidence that some of our "football players" dealt with injuries while playing the violent sport. Well no shite barner, of course some of them got hurt. I however will not spend one second of my time on google finding proof that Auburn players got injured. I already know what I would find. Now run along and lick your wounds little brother.

In your Ingram article it says he would be at the best a late first round pick. And he was. You're acting like he was a widely projected top 5 or 10 pick who fell because of injuries. He was never widely projected to go really high in the first round.
You didn't even read your own article.

Another thing I don't get is that you seem to think it's Bama's fault that players get hurt. Players at all schools around the country get hurt yet only at Bama does the school get blamed for it. Bama's RBs get around the same number of career touches that most college RBs do.

Also the response was in Yeldon falling down draft boards because of injuries yet you list an article that talks about Yeldon being injured in the NFL. That doesn't back up the statement you made of Bama RBs falling down draft boards.

Ingram slips in draft, injuries.

Ingram was the 1st back taken in his draft class

quote:

Eddie Lacy slips because of injuries


Lacy was the 4th back taken his draft class. No RB was taken in the first round. The three backs ahead of Lacy were Bernard (2,442 career yards, 4.2 per carry), Bell (the best pick of the bunch has 4,045 career yards, 4.5 per carry), and Montee Ball (731 career rushing yards, 4.2 per carry).

Lacy has 3,435 career rushing yards and a 4.4 yards per carry average. He's second only to Bell, perhaps the best back in the league, in rushing yards and yards per carry since entering the league. Also, Lacy is 2nd only behind Marshawn Lynch in yards after first contact since he entered the NFL at 2.15 per carry.

quote:

Yeldon ankle issues

Yeldon was the 2nd RB taken in his class (Gurley was 1st). NFL teams didn't seem to be so scared of him that they stayed away.


at the combine players have over 10 x-rays, at least 2 MRIs, and each team doctor examines the players the teams meet with for the official meetings. IF Bama players were banged up, they'd find it and stay away from them. So far, they keep drafting Bama players at a greater clip than any other college.

Like I said, I can link articles and they can say things plainly, but the bama twist will be made. No reason for me to link anymore articles.

Put yourself in an Aub's shoes right now in 2017. Think about the short period of time every year they spend hoping, dreaming, cheering, and supporting their Men's Big 3 sports teams.

Now, take a look at the last decade and you will see where those Auburn Men's teams have ranked in the SEC and you'll know why all they have left to do with their time is post shite threads about trivial crap about Alabama's numerous NFL Players.

You should be ashamed to let everybody here see you wallow in Bama envy. Bow out little brother. Injuries happen in this sport. We didn't need a retarded Auburn fan to tell us this.

You said lack of success in the op. Bama players are having tons of success in the NFL. You are a pitiful, obsessed troll and you have been owned.

Saban's philosophy: "Hey if I can go through life as short as I am, then you can play through your little bumps and bruises!"

Typically followed by a couple choice expletives....

Saban preaches toughness to the detriment of his star players. He'll run them into the ground and they'll hobble into the league. Just ask Cyrus....

4 months after a major knee surgery

Was playing four months after major knee surgery. The guy was a stud before he was rushed back to playing time and then became a liability.
