Is Chaney practicing?

He shouldn't be. Hold him out for the year. Medical RS.

Didn’t he use that last year after tearing ACL game two? **** either way he could play 4 games and still RS again if he gets a medical.

Chaney needs to play. He is in danger of:
1. Being viewed by coaches is perpetually unavailable and no longer seriously considered
2. Being passed up (already has been by Parrish) and forgotten for that reason going into next Spring.

Players need to play unless injured. The idea of constantly holding guys out until next season rarely works for the player or team. If Chaney can give us 3-4 games this season then he needs to play.

With his porcelain joints and limbs, I wouldn't rush him back.
 
Mario has that type of stuff on lockdown. Outside of some rumors that populate this board which turn out to be true, as far as I can tell we usually find out a few hours before kick during warm ups.

Don't think anyone knew Restrepo was returning last Saturday or that Parrish wasn't playing a few weeks ago.

He's also probably 26 years old by now. How many redshirts does he need? He gonna stay till he's a 6th year senior? He's either really good and he will go to the league to leave tread on the tires, or he stinks/can't stay healthy, in which case he gets his degree and begins his accounting career. Either way, he doesn't need 15 redshirt seasons. If you're healthy enough to play, go play.

How would any Canes fan know his game? He's never played for us.

Are you ok.

He played in our bowl game and had 50 yards rushing on 6 attempts for a 8.3 yard average and also had 44 yards receiving on 3 receptions for a 14.7 yard average.

Then in 2020 season he had 322 yards rushing for 4.7 yard average and 143 yards receiving for a 13.0 average.

Yeah he's never played for us.


I swear where do some of our fans come from. LOL

I don't think he's been forgotten. With each run I think Mario is turning and looking at Chaney & Citizen like....what could've been.....

Our RB depth chart remains pretty easy for someone to climb to the top of. Even for an RB that hasn't played in 2 years.

Your point is well taken. But how big can you put an injury prone RB on the depth chart? Not 1st bcause you can’t build an offense around him. Maybe 2nd but likely 3rd. The guy needs to prove at some point that he can play.

And even if not forgotten you know this staff will recruit over him.

Definitely. And who knows not only if Chaney can stay healthy, but how much of a toll these injuries have taken on him.

Right now Parrish is averaging 4.8 ypc and is easily our best RB - so the bar to be #1 is pretty low. Just being average means you're in the mix to be the #1 guy.

I definitely hope Mario is able to pull another Citizen type RB out of nowhere this cycle because our future at RB is looking pretty shaky.

My expectations are zero at this point. He's at the door of the Robert Burns club and anything we ever see from him will be a bonus. I want the best for him, but football likely won't be it. That's tough to say, but his injury history really doesn't lend itself to expecting much.
