per Held via Sean Callahan on RSSSo just curious, where did you hear this? I didn't think they released a depth chart.
Thanks, I'm surprised that would be the case already at the start of the season.
I am, too. we didn't really have much behind Mills except #14 (not impressed) and the two true freshmen, though.Thanks, I'm surprised that would be the case already at the start of the season.
The reality is that all of the backs will be needed during the season. I doubt the team can get through the season with zero injuries. Just a reality check.
If we can block, our running game is going to be dynamic. Add in Wandale, Rhamir, Sevion and Marvin to the mix. Me likey, A LOT.
These guys come back better than years ago. I'm amazed by Frank Gore's long career and now Teddy Bridegwater. No longer career ending injuries.Really happy for him for all the hard work he went through after 2 knee surgery’s.... Was one of the top high school running backs in the country before injuring his knee..
good point. adrian peterson, too.These guys come back better than years ago. I'm amazed by Frank Gore's long career and now Teddy Bridegwater. No longer career ending injuries.
Well as number 2, he won't be the workhorse. They likely will be careful to ease him back in the first games. But I also always thought that if they come back after surgery then that surgery made them stronger in the area that was fixed. But I could be wrong.I hope his knees can last. I wonder how many snaps a game he can handle?
I thought any time you have surgery you're weaker. Hope you're right!Well as number 2, he won't be the workhorse. They likely will be careful to ease him back in the first games.

Qb, RB, DB, DT, TE can all say that for the first time in forever it seems. Now let’s get the WR and LB stable all the way.It’s likely been mentioned already, but having pure-play scholarship running backs in the top 4+ spots on the depth chart is another small sign that the roster is stabilizing.
Why? Some of our better receivers over the last decade have been walk-ons. Todd Peterson, Brandon Reilly, Bryan Reimers all had great size too. Reimers should have gotten a lot more playing time too, all he did was make plays while he was out there. Now we got a new walk-on Reimer at LB who is coming along nicely and I'd rather have him than the dozens of scholarship linebackers who've come in and out of the program and done absolutely nothing.Qb, RB, DB, DT, TE can all say that for the first time in forever it seems.

I agree. Let’s not overhype him before he’s even played a down.I think the heisman level talent talk is a bit over the top, but sounds like he's good at catching balls and moving in space.. they might use him more on those swing passes than between the tackles, but anything is possible.. I mean last year they had Maurice running inside and Mills running outside so um, yeah.
I've been wondering this. I wonder if we were good because the option was a little gimmicky. Maybe we need something gimmicky and different to get back where we were.Man, I just want them to run the ball. I want 350yd per game back, bigly. We won't win being a finesse team. We need to have our smash mouth mentality back. We need to make teams fear having to play us for 4Qs. Mean, nasty, physical football. Nebraska is an outlier. We won't get the same kids as the power schools. We have to be something else.

But, some of his high school highlights are very impressive. There were a couple of LP cuts on some of that film.
Well, damn, I guess I’m hyping him up. He does have potential though.
In theory the ligament they replace the ACL with is at least as strong as the original ACL. The concern is normally the attachments and the inflammation that results any time you start drilling holes through cartilage and bone to repair the ligament. Some people do extremely well and others not so much. I think his last knee surgery last year was just a clean up. The mental rehab that has to take place is probably as important right now as the physical part. Most of the people who have ACL surgeries are likely candidates for knee replacement later in life. Some earlier than others. I'm hopeful with the kind of care he's receiving that long term effects can be minimized. Excited to see him play.I thought any time you have surgery you're weaker. Hope you're right!
