That number is skewed due to only playing in 8 games and put up good numbers in only 3 of them. In four of the eight games, he gained 50 yards once. And he was junk down the stretch.
maybe 2025?
He is an average running back right now because despite his explosion, he has poor contact balance. Hope they find ways to get him the ball in space and let Parrish take the majority of carries
It's pretty sad that our own fans don't realize we need this kid since he's the closest thing to a Real RB we have.
Finally someone who sees what I see in The Don.
That is his biggest knock. Zero contact balance. For him to not have broken multiple 60+ yard "explosive" TD plays so far in his career when he absolutely has the ability to is telling. His HS highlights show a different RB.
Thats the issue we all have with Chaney. We all know we need him. But he never seems to come through because hes always injured. You guys give him passes that you would never give anyone else. Chaney was a 5* RB. Nobody is questioning his talent. But when cats have to pop in his HS highlights to remind themselves of what he has capable of because they havent seen it yet in O&G, then thats a problem. Cant live off hype forever. Now we are about to go into Year 3 and still waiting to see the real Don Chaney. (if rumors are true that even if he comes back by the FSU game, he still wont be at 100% full strength)
If that's true they need to shut him down. Kid needs to get healthy.
To that last part I think its the FSU game which is his earliest possible date of a return within the overall timetable but not sure there's enough evidence to suggest if he played in that game he wouldn't be truly healthy/cleared. If we're lucky we get Don & X both back for that game
.
I don't have one but based on his past, he should be able to apply for a medical hardship waiver. The dude is pretty resilient. I anticipate he'd play a 7th year as long as he is physically able to perform.
You ignore the fact that they continually used him like a power back, running him right up the middle over and over.
for X to return sooner than later and for Zion to be 100% or close to it before he's a go.Exactly he just needs a medical and call it a career. If you can't stay healthy in 3 years of college ball it is a sign.
I feel so bad for him only played in a handful of games in 3 years total, he might need to call it a career or do what Jaelen Phillips did just take a year off and live in a weight room get his body right in the best shape of his life
You know nothing about everything ...
That will shut the Knighton miles up!!
It would be good to have Chaney back as soon as possible, but X is a must. He's our most dependable WR and TVD's security blanket. Him going down has hurt us moreso than losing Zion or Chaney.
