But can the lunatics here please be directed to this post?? Can we put it in bold? Pin it? Make it a pop-up when you login?

HE IS NOT OUT FOR THE SEASON
HE DIDNT TEAR HIS ACL
HE DIDNT RETIRE
HE DIDNT DIE
HIS CAREER ISNT OVER

For ***** sake, can anyone here read or interpret things? He’s got a few week injury. He should be back easily for ACC play. We’ll miss him for A&M, but he should be able to contribute at 100% for the bulk of the season. This isn’t Citizen. Relax.

Pretty much lol. With injuries I tread lightly. I won’t speak on anything until I see it posted elsewhere or rumors running wild. Even though the 4-6 weeks guy was wrong. I’ll never put out the actual injury , that’s not my place or business.

Coker said pre injury Gore was the best he’s ever seen . That tells you everything when you see who he coached in college. Literal goats. And I agree, Gore was different the minute he hit greentree

I agree pre injury Gore was the best back I have ever seen at Miami but it wasn't because of his shiftiness. His acceleration and vision were insane. He would come thru the whole at what looked 20 mph. He would come in during the second half and just kill it of off one or two cuts. There was an obvious difference between him and Portis and Portis was a freak.

Why do you believe Gattis comfort zone is run heavy? When he first got to MI he was running what he ran at Bama as Co-OC but it didn't work because the QB was trash and the WR was questionable. He adopted to his personnel and that was the offense you seen last year with the wolverines

The fact that the scrimmage report was not much going and quick hitter passes and looking for the offense to create more explosive plays. Yes I get we need some WR to step up but TVD is a stud. He will get the most out of these guys. I’m just saying if you watched Michigan last year they leaned on folks which I like but if you don’t have the line to do that then you better have a lot more in the ****nal in your O to make up for that. **** we may be able to push around half our schedule but when push comes to shove vs A&M, Clemson and some other above avg competition I hope we can adjust.

Agree. He was shifty but his strengths was vision , decisiveness and explosion. Portis knew the deal lol.
 
Huge Chaney fan. Hope the kid’s ok.
I wonder if something about his running style leaves him more vulnerable to injury. Squeezes every yard out of each run which is why I love watching him play.

We need to move on from him. I’m not saying cut him, but we can’t count on him to provide depth.

Imagine if someone would have said this about Frank Gore after he tore his ACL for a second time. Imagine if someone said that about Steph Curry when he started having ankle problems.

I'm convinced that our fans are the worst in collegiate athletics, because they are the most ignorant fans in collegiate athletics. Guys get hurt, some more so than others. We don't even know if it's a serious injury, from the initial reports, there's nothing stated. I'm not writing a kid off, period. I hope he comes back, but this is why you build quality depth, which this RB room has.

We don't even know if it's a serious injury, from the initial reports, it's an injury that may keep Don out a couple of weeks. That could be a sprained ankle, it could be anything.

Imagine jumping to so many conclusions. Imagine thinking a point guard goes through the riggers a running back goes through. If don proves himself durable, then great. We need to carry corresponding depth until proven otherwise.

Why don’t you keep a list of all the others who never panned put because of durability issues? Let’s just further a plan based on a couple outliers—one being from nonviolent sport. Why don’t you use your head and proceed based on reason instead of emotion.

An ankle to a PG is crucial. We should be carrying depth, REGARDLESS. Mario, like any competent coach would not build their entire O around one tailback. Why? Because that position has a limited shelf life. It's one of the most unprotected skill positions in modern football, they get killed in practice and in games, with little letup. Receivers and QBs are somewhat protected by the rules.

Amazing how some of our fans are running to the exits on players, like you are making decisions. You aren't. You are a fan. If he comes back, great, if not, it's next man up. That said, I'm not writing him off.
 
I just feel for the kid man. Just doesn’t seem fair. Terrible luck and I just hope to see the day he has enormous success and these trying times become a distant memory. That’s my hope. Feel for his parents too.

Look what we uncovered. This guy is claiming not to be a fan. Player? Coach? Parent?

No one is giving up on Don. Plus, the only thing that matters is if Don gives up on Don.

He has been injury prone—consistently—since 8th grade. He has never had a healthy period. At least Frank Gore carried gables on his back for a period of years before hitting some back luck.

Bad luck has nothing to do with durability.

We can’t count on Don as being reliable depth until he proves us otherwise. This is a fact. The only person who can fix this is God and Don.

@Cribby Even if it was true why would they do it. Let the kid get 100% completely healthy before using him. Don't you think?

Honestly who cares the amount of time out. It’s tiring all the people who think he’s Mcgahee and without him our season has changed. Like literally nothing has changed. He was 3rd in line at best coming into camp.

Anyone with an eye for football already knew Rooster is the most talented back on the team. I hope Chaney gets well soon but even when he has been well, he hasn’t shown much for all the hype. Rooster carried the load at like 180 soaking wet over half of last year. Him Parrish and Thad should be more than fine and hopefully get Gattis out of his comfort zone of running heavy. I’m very skeptical of what he is willing and capable of running offensively and he has a big talent at QB.

Love Rooster, but he's a change of pace back, not an every down back. He's the guy you bring in on passing downs or two-back sets, put in motion to get him out wide and exploit matchups, and give him 12-15 carries a game.
