How many posters will still ***** about Don not getting time in the scrimmage on Saturday?
You know it is coming....

Yeah we are all day to day...Don doesn’t miss games....so I wouldn’t use the prone word
Actually brown is here because of transfer possibilities. So he ended up being a nice insurance policy.This would be alarming if Cody Brown wasn't signed.
A good chunk of the board thought he's too slow and a waste of a scholarship. There's a non-zero chance he plays a significant role this year.
Thanks god for Cam Harris! The Don Chaney hype to this point is pretty unfounded imo.
We can just move McCloud there if we need a big back..Is it too late to beg Robert Burns to come back?
I worry about the shoulder problem because he already had an injury to the other shoulder. One can't help but wonder if his shoulders are meant for the pounding they will receive with him playing RB. Maybe it's just a coincidence and I hope it is.
Anyone that’s watched practices would tell you Don is just different. That’s how I know a certain rivals reporter knows absolutely nothing about the program. If that guy were a horse, he’d had a bullet put in him and would be in a dog food dish as I type this.Don Chaney hype is real enough that the Cam Harris transfer rumors grew some legs. If Chaney's back taking first-team reps heading into Bama, Harris is going to have a hard decision on his hands. The fact the NCAA hasn't addressed the portal scholarship issue may have been our saving grace up to now.
I’m not so sure it’s a structural problem more than it is that he’s a tough pounder, he’s one of those lower your shoulder type guys. I’m assuming it’s a shoulder separation, and those are mechanical injuries usually. I’m no orthopedic surgeon, but I’ve never heard of someone having a predisposition to shoulder injuries just from a physical structure type problem. Maybe we have an orthopedic surgeon here that can elaborate.
My thought is also that Chaney's running style lends itself to the type of injuries he is experiencing. Which begs the question of whether he needs to alter his style.I’m not so sure it’s a structural problem more than it is that he’s a tough pounder, he’s one of those lower your shoulder type guys.

Once upon a time...I remember being told (by someone with medical expertise) that one of our running back recruits had a terrible situation with some prior injuries that had not yet healed correctly, and that Miami was likely to back off of recruiting him because of his physical limitations.
Can someone tell me whatever happened to Lamar Miller?
I agree. It may very well be his running style that’s leading to shoulder issues. Lowering a shoulder to deliver a blow would certainly add some stress to those joints. Learning how to or not use a shoulder is probably something he can learn to help avoid future injuries.I’m not so sure it’s a structural problem more than it is that he’s a tough pounder, he’s one of those lower your shoulder type guys.

If he had bad habits in the gym, he could have showed up here with bad shoulders.I don’t remember with too much specificity Lamar’s injuries.
I think one thing is true, although like I said I’m not an orthopedic surgeon, but if you injure a shoulder once or twice, it’s possible that you may weaken the joint and it may make you more likely to have further injuries. Who knows.
I was just trying to say that unless there’s kind some kind of congenital defect that I’m not aware of, there should not be a physical predisposition to shoulder injuries.
I was an RB and can’t recall one time lowering one shoulder to deliver a blow or to bulldoze a would be tackler. I would keep my head up, lower both shoulders, wrap both arms around the ball, and run through and over a tackler. I believe this is a technique that can be taught and learned fairly easy.My thought is also that Chaney's running style lends itself to the type of injuries he is experiencing.

On top of that, lashlee is looking for a workhorse back. As long as we don’t suffer any more injuries then we’ll be good.Why? We have Harris and Knighton as well as 2 big time in-coming freshman.
