I wonder how it feels to be on a team when you’re the only one who gives a rats ***?

Him and Parrish. I'm sure theres 1 or 2 others? Backup punter seemed pretty excited lol.

BLeSsinG in dISgUys!

[Boarcane]

Great kid. His and Don’s injuries have been brutal.

 

[MDOcane]

And what would he say if he called one?

it would go to vm, they're running routes with Garcia..

 

[Geddy Lee]

And what would he say if he called one?

Learn how to catch the ball

A bunch of posters were saying that X going down before the aTm game could be a "blessing in disguise" as other receivers would get playing time, have to step up, TVD wouldn't have his security blanket and would need to find other guys open, etc.

Add Nelson and George.

Ok first off. Foot stress fracture is an injury I feel like I only read about in big men playing basketball. Kind of concerning and a huge bummer cause it seems X is the only guy on this team with a pair.

Now for the team practicing well? Yeah ok pal I get it you HAVE to say that. TVD looking like his old self? Alright. As a fanbase we are immune to this kind of coach speak.

Still like X and want him healthy. He’s a great guy for this team. Can’t downplay the impact his absence has

TVD does well in practice. Saturday’s have been an entirely different story. Either way, even if he starts, i would imagine he’s on a short leach.

Yea I knew this injury was a bigger deal than ppl thought. It's hard to replace reliable chain movers.

Of course TVD looks good against Miamis defense in practice. They suck!

Right! Forgot those two. Sucks

It is up to this team to decide what path they follow. Listening to Dusty and Danny today on Sirius and they had an ACC guy on. He made a great point. Every year its Miami needs to step up and elevate the league. And Every year its Miami laying a big fat egg. Hes right. This program needs to decide what it is going to be going forward.

All this talk of us going to the SEC, not going to happen. We are a bottom tier ACC team and have been for over a decade. Take off your Orange and Green glasses and you will see that.

God I hope these guys pull it together soon. My kid cannot understand why I even want to watch when there are so many BETTER games on.

Because you're a diehard like myself. My kid says the same thing to the point he doesn't go to the UM games anymore. Kids these days don't know the meaning of diehard.

 

[Gsugradcanefan]

What purpose does having a "great" practice do if the system(s)/scheme(s) you're practicing under are ******?

 

[Golsen82]

Likely drop the call

 

[NC_Canes_11]

And what would he say if he called one?

“New phone, who dis?”

 

[BS85]

Darn, now we can’t continue to blame Feld for his injury. Who’s next in the blame game?

Groundskeeper and/or turf guys? Ground is too hard

Restrepo does a blog for Canesport and today he talked about his injury and the team.....

-The injury itself, I had a reoccurring stress foot fracture injury from high school. I guess it fractured in high school or whatever, I played on it. And then one day in practice it just broke. It officially broke the week of Texas A&M, that Wednesday. I’ve known that it was bothering me. Football. If I’m going to get hurt, I’m going to get hurt playing football. I knew something was wrong with it, but at the end of the day I was running a route, it just popped.

- They had me on a practice regiment, and Wednesday was my practice day so I was just going around, woke up that morning knowing I could play football that day. I was stoked about that and unfortunately I just had the injury. And it wasn’t bothering me the game before, it was all of a sudden `bam.’

Now I’m putting in four hours of rehab each and every day, trying my hardest. It’s not too much pain – the training room staff are all doing an amazing job with me and keeping as much stress as I can off of it and allowing it to feel a lot better. It’s just feeling amazing right now. Like at the game, I was like `Man, take me out of this boot and dress me up, I’m ready to play.’

- I’m healing good. I just got my stitches removed. I’m looking good, am just working every day and God will tell me when it’s time. The doctor says I’m looking awesome, that I’m healing really well and I should be back soon.


As for the team, Restrepo goes on to say that the team had a great practice on Tuesday. People played "motivated" in his words. He said that Tyler had a really good practice, looking like his old self. He says the players have daily meetings where they reinforce each other and give each other confidence.

He’s one of about 3 guys I would keep on this team if I had a choice

Probably those 2 and Kam and after that…

And what would he say if he called one?

"Watch the finish"
