Lawson Out for the Season?

I found an interesting statistic over on ITAT:

According to Phil Steele's numbers:

1: Florida-51 starts lost
2: Ole Miss- 40 starts lost
3: Auburn-39 starts lost
T4: Texas A&M-26 starts lost
T4: Arkansas-26 starts lost
T4: Georgia-26 starts lost

The popular thinking is that you have to avoid the injury bug to have a successful (or championship) season. The Auburn ranking in this category surprised me, because I just don't recall ever thinking that injuries were going to torpedo our season.

Seeing the success that Auburn had with the 3rd most starts lost to injury makes me feel better about Lawson potentially out.

Looking back, I'm trying to recall who some of them were. I know we lost Denson early on. Probably about 9 games right there. Marshall missed one. How about Jeff Whittaker? Lost just before the season. Would that count towards the missed starts?

Exactly my point.

My take on Lawson is that he was a potential game changer for this season. He was tagged as the guy that opposing O's didn't want to run toward this season. This was a prediction based on last season when he was a freshman playing in a NFL body.

We will never know but I was suspecting that he would dominate this year. It's disappointing to lose any starter but this one really disappoints me.

It doesn't kill our chance of playing in the natty. But he makes a big difference in improving our D over last year.

Another bowl game? Does it play on Legion Field?

No, that's the Soul Glo Bowl.

So let's look at what we have so far.

"I'm hearing rumblings"

Someone in the super secret forum of The Bunker said they knew someone who talked to a doctor..(BTW, that shit didn't happen)

He'll be back by July

He'll probably be a medical redshirt

Skreetz

Two radio hosts saying they've heard things

It must be true because Auburn has been silent

Jesus wears a tuxedo

And we're going to the Natty Light Bowl in Birmingham

This is like the damn Johnny Dangerously grapevine. Is Carl Lawson injured or did Cam Newton take $180K to play at Auburn?

Carl is out for the season!

Unless he isn't!

Back during the coaching search, I got two calls from people who KNEW FOR A FACT that Bobby Petrino had already inked the deal with AU. One said he even talked to one of the guys (Not named Bo or Pat) on the search committee that told him Petrino was the next coach. How'd that work out?

I just find it strange...or maybe typical.... that a guy the level of Carl Lawson is supposedly out for the entire season with a devastating knee injury and all we have is interwebz rumor and in-your-end-OOOHH. I'm not saying he isn't hurt. Have no idea and reeeeaaally wish this was all just Al Gore's BS. But if he is, you'd think some media outlet would have the scoop.

Lawson is out for most if not all of the season. Probably all and will redshirt. I don't care who called who and said what. My sources have told me this is the case and unlike most of the people on here, I actually do know important people who know what's going on.

That's right, someone that would enjoy breaking some bad news about Auburn like Matt Scalici.

Cam took $180K and Lawson will start the Arkansas game

Nothing definitive but finally, someone in the media actually references an injury to Lawson. This from Brandon Marcello who types stuff for the dot I am a gay twerker that has no balls!!!! I also have no idea how to use the quote function to post stories, so I annoy the piss out of others. I like male genatalia in and around my mouth. over at the al.

The pressure is on Auburn as it tries to repeat as SEC champions and somehow prove it is indeed 13 seconds better than last season. Will Auburn return to the national championship and win it after a heartbreaking loss to Florida State in the BCS title game? Who will determine whether Auburn's season is a success or failure in Gus Malzahn's second year on the Plains? AL.com explores the topic as it reveals Auburn's VIPs.

No. 21 Elijah Daniel, defensive end

He's not a freshman any more. Elijah Daniel enters an important sophomore season as the Tigers look for Dee Ford's replacement. Daniel may not play the right side like Ford, who finished with a team-high 14.5 tackles for loss and 10.5 sacks last season, but he will be counted on to put up similar numbers if depth concerns continue to pop up.

Auburn exited the spring with more question marks than expected thanks to an injury to top dog Carl Lawson, who reportedly had surgery in June (Gus Malzahn has declined comment to AL.com) after sitting out the A-Day game with an injured knee. The extent of Lawson's injury has not been released, but the coaching staff is likely preparing for the worst and hoping for the best. That's where Daniel comes in after recording nine tackles, including 2.5 sacks, as a freshman in 2013.

Daniel (6-2, 263) emerged from time to time -- his 12-yard sack against Tennessee was a nice sign and he had a couple of impressive stops in the SEC Championship -- but coaches are expecting more from the former five-star prospect as he continues to grow in Ellis Johnson's 4-2-5 defense. Daniel is a load to handle and his long arms provide an advantage for the Tigers. The feeling here is he could have an impressive sophomore season with the help of interior linemen like Gabe Wright, who coaches expect to relieve some of the pressure on the edge rushers, who are expected to produce more often on third down

Why do you say that so much?

That's not the first time someone in the media mentioned it.

Literally everything in there RE: Lawson was reported over a week ago, and is why everything after the first five posts of this thread are here.

No, the first five posts of the thread and all others after that didn't even reach Cam was paid status. Even this piece says nothing more than "reportedly". Reported by whom? Not being nitpicking here but when probably the best defensive player you've got could be out for the season and as some people are saying, he ripped his ACL, MCL, BLT and OBGYN, which could seriously affect his entire career, I just want to see something more than "skreetz".

And GF, I do have balls because the only time I twerk is when I'm nekkid and can see them jiggle in the mirror.

WTF does it matter what anyone in the media says? I have already spoken on this and xer's should listen when I speak. I won't go on about my well established connections but know that Lawson is O U T. If I tell you that a piss ant can eat a bale of hay, just hand him a fork.

This is getting old. I should carry my talent and connections elsewhere.
