Why does everyone think there’s something up with Swift? I seriously don’t get it. He’s our best back, and giving him limited carries while we blow everyone out is prob the smartest thing this staff could do right now to have him healthy for the meat of the schedule.

Because he hasn't played like our best back. Holyfield has been that so far this year.

Because of reports of the lingering groin issue, on top of this has been a really boring season so far so we have to create our own entertainment/controversies.

Sometimes you have to bake your own bread and ringmaster your own circuses.

I honestly think he is a bit injured and that Kirby is sandbagging....as in telling the media that he hasn't HAD to have many carries due to the opponent we were playing last week.

Whatever the case, something is up with him. Definitely not the same runner we saw last year.

He's had a tape around his upper thigh and moving slower than normal in practice. Smart can keep playing games like an NHL manager, but it's pretty obvious that Swift's not been 100%.

If we could get by without him entirely tomorrow, might be the best thing for him and the team. If it's a groin strain, especially higher grade, full recovery could take awhile.

Backs have to get in to a groove and we have not allowed him to carry enough to get in the groove.

We did let Holyfield have the bulk of carries and low and behold he got in the groove . Chubb and Michele niether were burners they just made adjustment to get in the end zone, Holyfield will develop that as well. He should have stayed in the middle and stiff armed the piss out of the DB with an angle that caught him. DROB and Cook haven't looked like burners either but as they get stronger they will be, Hearst was the same way, he got caught from behind as a freshman and swore it would never happen again, it didn't.
