Would TM7 have made enough of an impact

to win either the Florida or Alabama game? I think so. If he played similar to last season I could see a fumble recovery and kick return touchdown vs Florida and a pick of AJ. I think he was worth at least one victory.

Miles did the right thing removing him from the time regardless of his impact.

You are asking if the Defensive Player of the Year and Heisman finalist would have made an impact to win two games we lost?

I am going to go out on a limb here and say "Yes."

I think he would have made a difference. We had to throw a lot of young guys out there in his place, and while they didn't do horrible our secondary as a whole struggled. I know TM7 wasn't the best cover guy, but he was a game changer, and greatly missed.

You would hope he was sitting watching and saying, "damn if I was out there I'd be tearing shite up with my boys." But I think it's more likely he was sitting smoking dope and not really giving a damn. After all, we said the honey badger don't care. We created that monster.

As long as pot is against the rules Miles did the right thing by booting him. Could not afford the distraction or possibly getting other team mates involved.

Difference maker yes, but, moot point IMO.

He also would have won the heisman given how shitty a year it has been for that award.

Well our defensive interior couldn't stop a so-so running back late in our first loss, combined with the fact that we couldn't do shite on offense. So no on that one.

In our second loss, he would have been playing back along with all the other DBs and we still would have given up 10+ ypc on the last drive. AND he would have been the one blitzing from the outside on the final screen pass. So no on that one as well.

Maybe he would've made a difference stopping Bama's two minute offense

In the Florida game I believe he would have made enough to win.

If Mo Claiborn would have stayed, Patrick Peterson stayed and was red shirted last year and Dalton Hilliard still played for us would we have won...?
I'll hang up and listen.

I'm pretty sure Jalen Mills blew an assignment and blitzed when he wasn't supposed to on the Bama touchdown, so yea, I'd say he could have impacted that game.

Nope, TM7 just had an usually great year 2011, I'd bet if he had returned this year everyone would have been severely disappointed.

NO. But Maybe. Beckhem did a great job as a punt returner, And TY wasn't that good of a cover corner.

If society werent so willfully and childishly ignorant about pot then we might've had a better season.

What people don't seem to understand is that if you change one play in a game, everything thereafter is different.

So when you say if we had done X on this play we would have won, you don't know that because everything after that play would have been different.
