Question: Realistically what are the chances of Cody being truly ready for LSU game?

[BAMARICH]

There's no doubt in my mind that TC will be back and almost at full strength for the LSU game.

Listen to Bayou... he will be just fine for the game.

It really won't matter. Chapman showed up big time and carried his load against UT. Even if Cody starts and ends up not being able to take his usual share of the snaps, Chapman will easily take up the slack.

We'll be fine.

Tell your corndog friends Josh Chapman is no slouch and to shut up! Also according to coach Saban he will so we shall see:BigA:

I agree with Rich - I think he could play this week, if necessary. His rehab has been going well. In fact, he didn't even need crutches the next day after the injury...

 

[RolltideFanz]

I will be embarassed if Alabama doesn't tackle better than Georgia did against LSU. I'm not sure how the Dawgs overcame the weakness they showed in Baton Rouge. :eek2:

Because neither team played any defense. Almost like they got together before the game and just decided to run up and down the field all day long.

 

[AngryEwok]

I think Scott will have nice things to say about Chapman and Cody both at the end of the evening.

 

[NativeTider]

Not only is Chapman a capable NG but there are two 6'4" 250 lb. stud linebackers right behind him. Chapman is also flanked by some pretty decent ballplayers.

Effectively running up the middle on Bama this year is unlikely for anyone if everything remains constant.

 

[Bama-fo-life]

Tell your LSU buddies to keep wishing Cody doesn't return.

Over the course of the years I have been on here, I have noticed that Bayou has a way of saying a lot without saying much.

IF nobody else picked up on this comment, I sure did and I am excited.

I bet Cody is ready to go for Arkansas St but they're using the excuse of a weak opponent to give him an extra week to recup.

Saban said it was a Smith-like injury and Andre' was out 2 weeks to Tulane and Wkentucky. It's a smart move if it's true.

i am sure cody will not play unless he is at least 90 percent healed. he plays about half the snaps, and even if he plays half of those it will be a plus. our def line is very good. mr scott better tighten his chin strap for this one. he is very big and strong, but so are our def linemen and linebackers. hightower keeps getting better with each game. i am no longer concerned with cody missing a few games now. we have washington who is playing very well. i want cody completely healthy for the sec championship game. i want him to get at least the last game against auburn as well, for a refresher.

They just wanted to prove to the world that the SEC can play Big 12 football - lots of points and no defense in sight...

 

[squeally dan]

Cody says on his Facebook page that he is doing good and will be back for the LSU game. He posted that right after the injury.

 

[jthomas666]

We'll only bring him in for the goal line package.

 

[PDL]

We'll only bring him in for the goal line package.

Offensive goal line package, that is.

 

[buzzincuzzin]

I hope lsu runs right at Chapman EVERY time they see him in the game and I'm sure Chapman FEELS THE SAME WAY!

 

[bamabryan]

We need Cody for the LSU game. Let's not kid ourselves. We are fine at NT with Chapman, but we need Cody for depth. LSU likes to run the ball and having Cody only helps our chances of winning that game.

We will need both Cody and Chapman for LSU.

 

[GulfCoastTider]

We be savin' Cody for a barn burnin'.

Heh...

The tears in his eyes in the Ole Miss game were genuine, but not from physical pain. That boy wants to hit somebody.

 

[TIDE-HSV]

Hmmm... I don't think people are listening. Or, we're packed in with nervous nellies in this thread...

Yep, not willing to take the time to read only the time to post.

Cody was walking around at practice today, and did some individual drills. No crutches, and no stationary bike. He should be good to go for LSU. Although trying to run up the middle against Chapman is no picnic. Pick your poison-type deal.
