As a troll, we should all call into talk radio and ask if Dawand could play DT since "He's a big big guy and man, it'd be hard to move him out of the way." Peak 'dad who sometimes watches the games until he falls asleep' energy.

Didn't DaWand make the hole when Chase blocked the FG against UC last year?

There you go. Just like that.

If we are limited to just missing 72 and 11 as rumored we can still put up the effort needed to win. If it's a few more players I dont know how we can stop the run.

That's exactly my concern. I know we can stop the run with those two in. Without them, it's a giant maybe but not feeling so great. Any more out on the DL and it likely gets ugly.

I wouldn’t underestimate how straightforward Alabama’s scheme is relative to Clemson. That was a part of our success in ‘14.

If whoever is left in the dline can at the very least keep the backers clean, guys like Borland, Hilliard, Browning will pop off the screen.

Big ask if we’re missing key players but our linebacker play was really key in ‘14. Think how big Grant and Lee showed.

Agreed. It'd really sting losing them tho, especially Tommy. And if we don't get Zach back, losing Tyreke would be pretty devastating. Really need all hands on deck on the DL. Bama's OL is nothing like Clemson's

I know the elephant is jumping away from the buckeye, but it could be seen as a 2 ton elephant about to land on the poisonous nut.

Well there’s a reason elephants don’t jump. I think we’re looking at several traumatic lower-body injuries followed by that large mammal dragging his broken body to the elephants’ graveyard. Meanwhile, the poisonous nut feels no pain.

I listened to today's interviews... what I noticed is that most avoided talking about Tommy because they know IMO he's out.

BUT.

When Coop or Garret was talking they mentioned Zach as players who would need to make an impact while leaving out Smith and Tommy. Seems to me Zach is back.

The big one is Tommy and that blows. It really does but you watch Haskell go wild in this game knowing we need him most. He knows he's now our only hope inside.

DE I'm not worried about and honestly watching today I'm not worried about DT either.

I've remembered Vincent playing a ton now, Cage has played a lot and so has Jackson.

We are going to win guys. Waddle returning gives me concern if he plays but I believe he won't be completely ready.
