Will Tillman Play Saturday?

[dduncan4163]

Translating the coach speak I think he's a go. Don't think he'll be 100% but Josh said he got the surgery to be ready for this game.

 

[dduncan4163]

Damn, I hope Tillman is good to go.

 

[MontyPython]

Yes.

Tightrope surgery normally has a 4 week recovery period. Tua, Cameron and some other Bama players recovered and played within a month.

 

[sunnyvol79]

I hope so

 

[Vfl2407]

If nothing else, he needs to dress and participate in warmups. Make Bama wonder.

The only way they keep Tillman off the field in this game is to lock him in a cupboard with and armed guard outside.

 

[SickEmSmokey14]

Tillman is probably chomping at the bit to play in this game and the training staff set a goal to have him back this week. He'll play.

 

[jeff1vol]

He should ONLY play if he is really 100%!!!! Keyton is playing very well and I don't think an 80% Tillman will be as effective as a 100% Keyton. Tillman is a great WR, but he's not necessarily a game changer type of player, IMO.

There were a few plays in the LSU game that I thought “that’s a catch if Ced is out there.” I’d say two of our field goals would have been touchdowns instead. He is absolutely a game changer.

It's wild that Hooker has been wrecking defenses with his number one out.

Sure. He may in-fact be that type of player. But would he be if he's only 80%? I'd love nothing more for Tillman to be back, but not at the expense of having the more effective player playing. I'll defer to the staff to make that determination.

Akron played dirty.
Tillman gonna keep plowing anyhow!

 

[VOLfrombama]

Heupfully he is ready and can make some big catches when we need him. We have missed him on 3rd down (and 4th when it mattered)

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

Ease him back in if so. Don’t pull a titans with Derrick Henry in the playoffs last year and rush him back too soon. Our offense is humming right now.

 

[Arrested Devolopment]

Hyatt is a nightmare for defenders even if Tillman can't play.

I was at the game.. that play (tackle) was close to us on the Akron side of the field. I said it right when it happened it was a dirty low hit.

 

[Volador]

McCoy, Hyatt and Keyton are the best receiving trio in the SEC and the nation right now. If Tillman is not 110%, save him till the KY or GA game. We will need Tillman down the stretch and into the playoffs.

It was also not the play where he was injured.

 

[joevol33]

Damn, I hope Tillman is good to go.

Tillman has not only worked to become good, but a big part f our turn around. I do hope he's back, he deserves to be in these games. That said, I don't want him to get hurt more if he's not ready.

 

[Jxn Vol]

I’m also ready to see our white squirrel break out this game.

 

[Jauan't Some?]

Maybe we’re spoiled with the depth and talent we have at WR, but Ced is a special player. Props to Keyton for stepping up in his absence, but if there is any chance Tillman can be effective he needs to be on the field.

Honestly, at no point during the season is any player at full health. It's my understanding that the surgery was performed to prevent any re-aggravation/injury, so as long as he can't hurt it again, 80% aint too shabby.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

The great thing about Tillman being out is that Keyton, Hyatt and McCoy have all established themselves as legit threats. Throw a healthy Tillman back out there and teams cant double him and expect positive things to happen. Someone else will eat them up.

It is sad if he misses out on his last chance to participate in a win over Bama. That is a fantastic memory to add to his resume I am sure

Keyton has been very clutch. Tillman, although better, has to be 100 before I think about starting him.
