Josh Moore and Charmar Brown - out for the season

It's so much harder to win one now.

You essentially have to win 3-4 consecutive games against top 5 teams. Absurdly low percentage of pulling it off.

Mario could be our best and most consistent coach here since Jimmy and still never even make it back to the Championship game.

That's why you shouldn't take off the first half of the natty when you get there.

I hate turf with a passion. It should be banned from any open air stadium.

With that said, the parents of a player on WF told me it’s relatively new and their players have not experienced the same rash of injuries as we did. Maybe they are accustomed to playing on it. Not sure but this injury rate is unsustainable.

Oh…and Mali was initially hurt on the long pass play down the sideline, not the acrobatic high catch which happens 2 plays later. When he gets up after the sideline catch he starts to favor his left side/shoulder area.

I'm actually better with this than what I thought. When he stretched for that high ball in the low red area, that's when I first noticed he looked hurt, and I thought he pulled something stretching for that ball. Those types of injuries linger. If he just fell hard on his shoulder, I'm not saying that's nothing, but for one, it's something you can play through and two, if it was minor enough for him to keep playing (albeit only 13 snaps in the 2nd half), it's not like it's some Grade 3 AC sprain or collarbone issue, etc.

I'd much rather a sore shoulder than a strained core or groin muscle that lingers all season.
 
Time to see some of these freshmen they seem reluctant to play at WR and on the OL. Wingo, Parris, Cantwell, Congdon, Ervin, Waters, etc.

Force them in this week.

Feels like we're scared to play them the way we have in years past. Except for Dunnigan, Mallory, and a little bit of Mueller.

What if I tell you we haven’t gotten to the physical games yet? Though we engaged in more of a fist fight than we should have against Wake. Last year, we started with 3/4 physical games and made it through. This year, we started with 2 lower level games (Wake should have been) and a scrimmage. Injuries are unpredictable, but I dislike the probabilities.

last year we were the most physical team on the field and it propelled us to the title game. given the losses to the draft and the injuries and the weakness of the IOL, we are not likely to be the most physical team every game. we will need a different strategy
