Drafted by all 3 major pro sports. I'm not sure if anyone else has ever held that distinction.

Your GIF required two illegal blocks in the back, and a holding no-call.

I only saw one block in the back and it was a weak one at that.

FIFY


No you didn't unless he lives in one of those rare places in Alabama where there are no black guys or no ATVs. Otherwise he is still full of crap.

Lol, it will increase healing time, but no break is stronger than it was before, ever.


Not true. While playing I broke my collarbone. The doc told me that when it healed calcium would build around the break forming a knot. That would make it stronger. Sony broke his scapula and his hand....not his arm before, so he did not break the same thing.

Apparently it is stronger initially, but returns to its normal state and is neither stronger, nor weaker after a break.

I counted three, but one was at the very end...I didn't see a hold.

Any word on recovery time?

Hearing 8-12 weeks. However, I suspect they will wrap him up and he will miss 1-2 weeks of the season if that much. THIS IS MY OPINION. I have a little experience with football injuries. I haven't heard anything from Michel's doctor, who would have the best idea.

IF he misses any time, and IF Chubb is not ready to go, I suspect Holyfield, Herrien and Douglas will get the nod. I think Chubb will be ready to go, though, so I expect to see Chubb and Holyfield get the lions share of the carries if Michel misses time.

Could be anywhere from 6-12 weeks depending on what exactly he broke and what surgery it was.

You guys should be ok. Lots of talent there. Would be nice to give Chubb a break but if he needs to go, he should be ready.

If we lose Robinson, we don't have anyone to really turn to.

Good grief, Georgia running backs are made of glass.

UNC is nothing to sneeze at and UGA already has question marks at QB. Now their strong suit in the running game just took a big hit if Michel can't play. Add in a brand new coaching staff and you have the makings of an interesting game.

It is going to be a close, interesting game regardless of who is at runningback.

Thing is, rb is probably the one position where you can plug someone else in and have them produce. Not at a Chubb or even Michel type level, but you can get good production even when there's not a lot of experience there.

The biggest issue this creates in pass protection as Sony was a very good pass blocker. If Chubb can't go, this may force the staff's hand to go with Lambert at QB.

I hope they don't rush Chubbs back, i'd hate to see such a talent become another Lattimore

I think Chubb will be ready, but you never know.

Ironic, isn't it? You guys have one back you feel confident in. (This year) He will probably stay healthy all year.

We traditionally are loaded with running backs and they all get hurt!

Not really. Just bad luck and freak stuff. Gurley went through the NFL last year and, as far as I know, didn't miss a game.
