Man I hope he can play. JMHO but if Slade can't go, I'd really like to see someone other than Smitty back there returning punts.

RTR, beat Auburn!

I'm a little surprised Smith would return punts with the talent on the roster.

Oh no! How will Bama win without Slade Bolden?

When Slade rolled his ankle they basically just tried a couple of different guys back there - Smith 2 times, Surtain once. Smith took the 1st one he got and almost ran it back.

I like him, but not a game changer. Serviceable at best.

They will definitely miss his 3 receptions for 15 yards with 0 yards after catch; or, the occasional punt return for 4 yards.

We are so spoiled by having Ruggs, Waddle, Devonta, and Jeudy on the same roster

I think they can manage with Billingsly taking up the "slack" on offense. It's not like SB is a difference maker on offense. Punt return is a bit more worrisome and an injury to D. Smith would be devastating. Just have someone fair catch and not worry about the return yards for the most part.

I think in those situations (at least historically), Saban puts a ball-control player back there just to field the punt.

I'm surprised Smith had the green light to even attempt a return, or maybe he didn't

Saban on Slade Bolden (ankle): "He's gonna be out probably for a day or two and just see how he responds. Those twisted ankles are a little bit hard to sometimes figure out how a guy will respond."
