i didn't even knoe he was injured before the game and this is the first i hear about. it also seemed no one knew bowe was injured the week of the game. can we expect to not know exactly which player will be playing each week until gameday?

 

It is a good strategy so our opponents don't know who to gameplan on which players will be in and out.

 

This is a quote from the advocate today "Miles said defensive back Sammy Joseph, who did not play, was slowed by injury but "will be fine.""

I read somewhere else that he does not give out much info on injured players which sucks for those of us that follow LSU football so closely, but it also makes good sense not to let your opponents know anything that could help them. I would expect to see this trend of keeping quiet on injuries to continue.

 

we really need to get over this and realize that everything that Miles does that is diff from Nick isn't necessarily stupid

 

Right on. Personally, I'd gladly be kept in the dark a little reguarding injured players if it means the opposition is equally unaware.

 

Didnt we get beat by UAB when Saban was our coach? I thought so.

 

That's your best post ever. :thumb:

 

I agree with not releasing a injury report and allow the other team to guess their game plan out. As a fan it doesn't change my pre game prep any.

 

I second that. Miles is going to thing different for Saban and its not always a bad thing.

 

A related side note...Tom Brady was listed as Questionable for every game the Pats played last year.
