Alabama injury update + more

Keelon time

Thanks, Pete (and Chris).

I’m ok with this. Ty played hard, but it’s clear that he has his limits. Let Keelon get his feet wet just in case we need an offensive spark later in the season

definitely hope we’re up big so he can get some experience

Right now, we better focus on winning a game first. As Nick Saban said, "Who said they are going to get to play?"

Yep. After that one game it’s clear we know all we could possibly know about Ty. Excellent work man

Got very concerned for a second after seeing a headline about an "injury update" and then comments about Keelon playing lol.

Everybody knows you can’t improve from your first start. You are what you are I suppose… lol

If nothing else, this coaching staff has shown us that they’re capable of losing to anybody on any given day

I don’t like this assumption of us being able to get KR playing time. Let’s just focus on being good first

Sure but that can be motivation to “go out there and do what you need to do. If you do then that should create playing opportunities for everyone. Especially coming off a loss. Do what you need to do, get better and that should allow for everyone to get snaps.”

We should get Keelon all the reps we can so he’ll be ready for next season. I’d be good with putting him in up 3 TDs.

If we beat UGA sadly I still don't have confidence in winning out.

I wonder when Jam/TK will start back practicing. Initially, I’m sure Jam will be wearing a no contact jersey.

Tbh, I kinda expect Russell to get a lot of playing time, regardless of if we are up 1 point or 50.

I rather be pedestrian, methodical and win a lower scoring game than Keelon throw 3 great TDs and 3 Ints.

Will fans get to see Keeley play?

Why... and I'm not being any way, just you're take on wanting to play him at this point? I respect your opinion... you pd to post it.

I get that but to me that's the wrong type of motivation. How crappy we played last week should be enough motivation. I don't want to hear about us getting back ups in. Lets focus on being good first. Executing like we are supposed to. Playing the game the right way. If we do all that the backs ups will play and play a lot. Unless what he's saying is they plan on playing KR regardless of what the score is not a fan of just assuming he plays. We need to keep the main thing the main thing.

@PeteNakos Are you thinking mop up duty or getting reps with the ones?

this is exactly what I was thinking when I saw the Keelon comment. Like what are we doing here. That would be the last thing on my mind right now.

Exactly. Might as well bench him so he can guarantee his health next year for whatever team he transfers to after we tell him to hit the portal. Good luck Ty
