That one hurts. He was starting to flash.

Season is off the rails with injuries already.

Yea these are the most difficult thing about playing football. We have been fortunate the past few years with injuries but unfortunately they are starting to pile up. 2 Elite DBs out since game 1, 1 workhorse RB2, 1 solid WR3
 
These injuries suck and Marty was my favorite player on the team so seeing him get hurt bad ruined the game for me.
But pretty much all of these injuries had zero to do with playing on the turf. We need to stop this nonsense. SMH
Mensah got hit, Fletcher got a stinger, Mali strained himself reaching for the pass, Moore got hurt on a pile up, etc.
Can’t speak for Marty but looked more due to getting tackled in a way where his leg got twisted. Just severely unlucky.

That’s pretty matter of fact when you have no idea, either. Marty’s injury could have easily been from the turf. Don’t know if some of those upper injury ones happened from slamming into the turf or not. Moten wasn’t bc he was hit by friendly fire. Either way, if youve ever played on a field like that, you know it’s an uncomfortable feeling and makes you tentative to just stop and go. The other part is getting into a physical game in that environment. More opportunities for freak injuries.

I agree with u, the turf sucks to fall on. Who knows with Marty, but our depth will be tested for sure this season.
 
I'm gonna try to be an optimistic boy right now, so here goes:

Before the season, I think everyone was in agreement that our deepest positions were, in no particular order, RB, WR, and CB.

So, if you *have* to lose kids long-term, well, it's an RB, WR, and then a corner is out for a while, but maybe not all year.

We should be able to absorb these. I hate it for the kids, obviously. And for the team, Marty and Moore were expected to be big contributors this year.

But if you tell me, for the rest of the season, I can have a *HEALTHY* RB room of Fletcher, Pringle, Lyle, and Mallory, I'll take it.
And if you tell me, for the rest of the season, I can have a *HEALTHY* WR room of Mali, Barkate, Upshaw, Jacobs, Wingo, Parris, Spafford, I'll take it.
And if you tell me, for the rest of the season, starting in October, I can have a *HEALTHY* CB room of Lucas, EOC, Antoine, and Brown, I'll take it.

We can absorb this and be fine. But some of these kids MUST step up. I'm looking at you, Jordan Lyle. I'm looking at you, Girard Pringle. I'm looking at you, Xavier Lucas (you need to get your *** back and be 100.0%, real soon). I'm looking at you, Cooper Barkate. I'm looking at you, Daylyn Upshaw.

We have plenty of talent in these rooms. All this really does is condense the touches distribution some. But there is still plenty of dudes in these rooms to get us where we wanna go. This just has to be it, on the injury front. This is crazy.

RB 3?

I said RB2/3. Meaning Marty was considered RB2 or RB3. I think (I do not know), if Lyle never decides to drive like an *******, Marty is probably 3rd in the pecking order to start the season.

Either way, he was obviously a big contributor last year and was going to be this year as well. I was alluding to the fact he was either RB2 or RB3, however you want to argue it.

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.
 
Between the disastrous interior OL play and all the injuries piling up at key spots, this season has the potential to be derailed. This is extremely frustrating.

Spot on
We can’t take anymore. I’m looking at Wingo, will need to grow up FAST.

Eh. Is there any data saying kids get hurt more in ACC games than they do in OOC games? I doubt it. Football is a violent, contact sport. You can get hurt seriously just practicing it. I don't think I put much stock into a higher proportion or likelihood of kids getting hurt against, say, Clemson or ND, than they do against Wake Forest or Stanford.
 
Don’t even remember when i stopped seeing Moore on the field, but that might’ve been why lofton got a lot of targets in the 2nd half.

We’re going to have to play Parris although Wingo/Spafford/Jacobs will get a lot of burn; Parris is the only one who can substitute what Moore meant for us on 3rd down, in the redzone and with the deep ball
