Knighton

[Odysseus]

What happened with Thad? How did I miss this?!

He must not like the new staff

 

[Schuylkill County Cane]

Whatever if he leaves he leaves. If he was a he’d stay

 

[SinisterCane]

Glad he‘s FUQIN leaving

 

[dk72]

I wouldnt blame any offensive player for sliding out of this offense. Knighton has his faults but Lashlee had him at least looking like a good complimentary piece

Knightons problems are 100% his own. He is not fumbling or dropping passes because of Gattis, and he's doing both of those things at a very high rate.

 

[Lokest]

So we should get rid of a RB. You are foolish if you think Don will ever play a season here. He got hurt holding a door open at Belen

What good is a running back that can't hold onto the ball or catch? We have straight up found a walk-on that can eat his snaps.

What's the story here? In other words, is there more to the story than what's been reported?
NFL regardless? Gonna join the long list of EE's to go late-round or UDFA?

I dont know for sure, but my understanding is that even though a minor cleaning up procedure, his knee keeps swelling and sore since procedure.

 

[reirei92]

On his best day he was touching neither of those backs. Do you understand how good those dudes were. Especially Duke

In hind sight 100%. His inability to gain weight was big factor, but he also just doesn't have the x-factor those guys did (especially Duke like you mentioned).

But let's not forget the hype the "Rooster" had from highschool (Browards all time leading rusher) until earlier this season (some people still projecting him to be the starting runningback and one of our best players).

At this point I would've settled for a Graig Cooper level player, but he isn't that either.

 

[Sabetta]

Man this is a bummer but he made too many mistakes and couldn’t run through tackles to save his life. Sucks because last year he was so tough despite being banged up. Best of luck

 

[TriStarCane]

I’m a little sad tho because Rooster was the bell cow, unfairly, last year. My dude just cannot hold on to the rock or make the correct reads in this offense

 

[canes732]

He must not like the new staff

Doesn’t like being held accountable for his own actions?

 

[Angry Ibis]

So he’s not in the portal?

 

[ATLCane17]

Dude even fumbled entering the portal.

I expected him to have the ability to make people miss on a regular basis, but when he has a defender one-on-one he tends to try to plow through him. He's not big enough to run like that.

 

[Suhrthing]

Suspensions, injuries, massive ball-security issues? Addition by subtraction.

 

[stormbrewing]

I’m as confused with his status as I am with what kind of offense they run

 

[OldhamA]

The sad thing is Stanley has come in and looked perfectly serviceable. When a transfer from UAB is outplaying you you're wise to transfer out.

 

[SSCanes]

The same as counting on one that gets hurt when he sneezes

 

[SayWhat]

No matter what happens here, to this point he's been one of my most disappointing backs in 25 years. He looked like our next great back coming in and it hasn't gone to plan at all. He's got talent, but you can't expect to lose the ball like he has and get to play.

 

[jw410]

Both Knighton and Thad won't be here next year. Along with 10+ others dudes like Romello Brinson, Keyshawn Smith, Avery Huff, Gil Frierson, Thomas Davis, Keyshawn Washington, Jalen Harrell, Laurence Seymore, Ryan Rodriguez, Ousman Traore, Chris Washington.

None of those guys will be missed maybe Smiff.. the rest are jags I've seen enough to know they won't be big time college players. Get your degrees fellas and learn coding or some skill that will be around 30 yrs from now.

 

[jw410]

Would be surprised they would bring him back at this point with nothing to play for. I've heard they are leaning towards shutting him down regardless of availability.
