Trice hurt his knee in practice and is done for the year. Cross also out due to personal reasons. King sounds good to go but still has some kind of condition which basically is week to week.
Rice is out for the year and so is Yaseen. They both looked good when they were out of the field. The injury bug is hitting our team really hard right now.Guess no one here listens to Brohm's interviews
As is the unbelievable poor recruiting at some key positions, namely RB.
Anderson I won’t hold against him. Doerue was a miss. Smokie bear too.
On the same page I think regarding those...
Yaseen too? Oh shit.. kory Taylor might have to do more than go to school here lol.. on, you know, a football scholarship
So much for all those people that thought we were recruiting too many receivers a couple of years ago.
Admittedly, I do not, but, I am confident that never in 50 years has there been the lack of collective talent at the position that there is at the moment.
Ouch.Guess no one here listens to Brohm's interviews
I'm sure Brohm and every coach before him wanted to recruit the best players possible at every position. If it were easy, anyone could do it.
You’re just saying stuff like it’s true cause you say it. In 2010 the leading rusher was Dan dierking with 529 yards. You don’t think Alexander Horvath and king doerue are better than Dan dierking? I’m willing to give dierking a comparison in value to Dylan downing .. but not over doerue and definitely not horvath.
I'm seeing a lot of it, not just us but pros as well. The first default is "kids are soft today", followed by "they're getting hit by bigger, faster, stronger players" (but a lot of these look to be non-contact injuries). I think the truth is closer to what someone posted in the Horvath thread; the coaches and admins are a lot less tolerant of players "playing hurt". A decade ago you might play with a broken metatarsal, you don't today.
And yet, again, at no point in the last 50 years, has anyone assembled a collective group at the position as bad as it is at the moment...if Darrel Hazell could do it, it is almost easy to the point that literally anyone could/can do it.
For the investments made in the program, the facilities, the staff, etc, it needs to be better. Much better.
The was an actual saying in J.T. era, “You can’t be in the club if your in the tub”. A mindset to play thru some pains. I’m confident that is a bygone era.
Exactly why I have been saying we should ALL be praying each week for the health of our players. I am a firm believer in the power of prayer when used for the uplifting of all.
Not entirely sure what you’re asking. Maybe why are we playing one guy vs another? Obviously we’re playing next man up or we wouldn’t have 11 on the field but it’s not necessarily always the next guy listed on the roster. Once you get down a few levels they are interchangeable based on lots of different factors
Thanks to the overabundance of lawyers I'm sure coaches have to be more concerned with potential liability issues as well.
The headline says we have a depleted RB unit. Guess I'm taking it too literal. I've probably watched too many movies where the guy at the end of the bench finally gets his chance and turns out to be a star. Thanks for your reply.
I remember parcels saying it way back in the day. Along with “the most important ability is availability”.
Wow, what deep insight! Lol
Rice was already known. Yaseen had been dealing with injury since the Illinois game. Trice is the new one.
From what I've gathered Yaseen has been hurt all year, only being able to practice every other day or so. Hoping that they just shut him down for the rest of the year and he's 100% for spring. Really need him next year with Bell gone.
Bulllllll. One only has took to Washington DC to see the effects of too many shysters stealing legally.
