Top 2 RB's done for the year. RB injuries
- Thread starter HBK4life
- Start date
I'm excited for Johnson. Hope the kid runs with the chance.....
so with 3 minutes in the game would you have had your first string rb playing with the game well in hand?
the staff are violating their "ORs are listed in alphabetical order" decree with regards to the quarterback position
H > J
H > S
yesterday up 30-10 with 5 mins left in the game, Tony Pollard carried twice
happens all the time. wouldn't hear a word from you if no injury occurred.
monday morning QB like you read about
Emmett Johnson just might be a pleasant surprise that we’re looking for in this offense.
Good for you, your hindsight is excellent.
believe Ives was this staff's very first commit once they came on board last winter, too
Exactly my thoughts as well when I saw him limping off the field that late in the game. I also think they should've put Purdy in a bit sooner, too. No sense in having those key players out there that late in an a game that's well in hand.
TV repairman used to be a thing. Now. Just buy a new one.
If Rhule gets this team to 6 wins I don't want to hear any negativity towards the man.
I don't get the condescension here? It is extremely common to pull star players out of games that are well in hand. There's no sense in risking injury, especially when you're already thin at a position. Ervin should have been pulled, and they were late in pulling HH, IMO.
that's not what I said & you know it. I was only commenting on your ignorant post about the situation in the game when Gabe got injured. Personally, I probably wouldn't have had Gabe in the game at that point BUT I'm not the coach and I don't know their thought process as to why he was in there - and obviously, neither are you nor do you.
I Love Trev. But I would be shocked if he gets meaningful carries this week. But I know personally he's a horse and can carry the load in a game and a season. So you never know!
Seriously, this is something unusually unfair. Somebody call a priest for the exorcism....not kidding.
His legs would make yours look like something that belong on a spider.
Yeah like they don't need the work getting ready for the Big10, come on man.
Buffalo Bills still had their starter, James Cook, toting the rock in the 4th when the Bills were up 21.
Indy Colts still had Zach Moss running the ball with less than 3 minutes left in the game while up by 11.
Tony Pollard for the Cowboys was taking carries while they were up by 20 with only 6 minutes left in the game.
Imo this offense needs all the reps it can get. I have no issue with anyone playing late in the 4th with a decent to big lead. Best practice is live game action. I agree with Rhule and co on this one.
Sucks but we'll be deeper next year with players having game experience. Better this year then next year. Fingers crossed!
There will be no questioning of the coaches, even if they have your support.
I actually made the comment to my watch party that I would have liked to seen Johnson sometime in the third. Would have made the same comment on a game thread but we didnt have one this week. Turning to Johnson today and telling him you're ready when he has had 1 carry the whole season because you had to get your starter reps with 3.5 minutes left in a decided game due to the quarterback having as many carries as first and second stringer is pretty asinine.
You also don't want to injure them before the Big Ten. You want your backs to get carries end of game when the game is decided is not the time.
What condescension? Everybody here is an expert after the fact. Just ask, they'll tell you all about it.
