Announced lingard cleared for contact today and available for uf if needed per shodell

[dantheman349]

Thats you're opinion...not mine..If we were really suffering at the RB position...maybe, but a healthy Cam...DJ and Burns...with George at FB is more than enough..

Im going to weigh in here. They're going off the MRi, watching him run and how Lo is telling them how he feels. As i am with you on not rushing someone. but if all of that is there and he says he's good and looks good cutting then why not let him loose? i don't think with the depth we have they would clear him if he's truly not ready.

 

[SayWhat]

I hope he takes his time with it. I kind of see him having a year like Travis Etienne at Clemson did two years back.

His cutting does not look near 100%

 

[Internet Tough Guy]

I would love to know what his injury was

 

[BooBoo]

If Cam and Burns are healthy dont see Lingard gettin carries. not just risking injury, gotta worry about ball security puttin a guy that hasn't had contact out there.

 

[Boarcane]

I have faith he'll be a big part of this season's success. He better be on point or a young Don Jr is going to pass him by. Welcome to TNM where the best man plays. Shout out to JW and Zion... there are no favorites or stars. Earned not given!

We got to worry about ball security whenever Dallas run already . He may not have fumbled that much but I’m still a little concerned about it

Didn’t he fumble in the scrimmage?

I think It was during one of the first full padded practices this fall

He said in the video he’s still has issues cutting etc.

And if that’s the case no way you play him

 

[561Cane]

You play if cleared by Med staff...all hands on deck against the gaytor!

 

[mirvin88]

Hopefully won't need him much in the backfield but hopefully he gets in some work at KR.

when did you see him cut

 

[The Svengali]

when did you see him cut

He said himself he has issues cutting. He said his straight line speed is fine and he’s full go there, but he’s been uncomfortable cutting. That’s from lingards on mouth.

And his movement is limited because of the brace

I saw the article on 247 he actually said the knee brace was hindering from getting to full stride and top speed. Once the brace is off he said he can test out the knee and believes he will be able to run at full speed fine and cut.

 

[TrueFloridian]

Brace will be off during game. Even lo said himself it hampers him, he cannot get to full stride with it on.

Braces can cause other parts to get injured. Unless you’re an OL or DL ankle and knee braces are liabilities playing at full speed.

 

[PittsburghCane]

They won't dare risk him yet.

Understand. But I diasagree.

So he won't know until he's tried. UF is also going to be playing with the intent to harm, with better players than we'll see most pf the year, and the kid hasn't been seeing any contact in practice. Adjusting back to that and making sure ball security is on point is not an overnight thing. But he's hungry enough that I think he's busting his *** every day now to prove to the coaches and himself he's good.

I repeat. If he's cutting good and not fumbling in practice, throw him in at the end of the third like Gandalf riding in just before the dawn. There's your X factor a tired *** defense isn't gonna want to see.

Do you guys realize his injury was exactly 10 months ago and it was supposedly not an acl tear. Nobody knows for sure because his injury was kept top secret like it was a nuclear test by the Pentagon. Therefore, if he was already cleared by the doctors dor contact last week and he been practicing all spring with team wo contact, then after he goes thru a few practices with contact he will be ready for game action. It's really that simple. He is behind DJ and cam already, so there is no need to ease him in, since he will not get anymore than 5 touches a game anyways.
