Sony just trucking through Mizzou's defensive line like they were just drill dummies.

Here's more of Sony running train on Tennessee.

Sony gave us hell no doubt about it. He had some cuts that made defenders look silly.
That said, we hadn't prepared for his running style at all which is very different from Chubb's. Coaches dropped the ball there big time but then no one really foresaw an injury to Chubb. Which actually makes me wonder why Chubb and Sony weren't splitting snaps more the way Hurd and Kamara do? Trying to prepare a DL for two very different running styles makes it all the more difficult on a defense.

They were. Prior to the UT game Sony had 41 carries. Kamara only had 38.

I honestly don't recall seeing Sony that much and I watched a lot of UGA games but memories are faulty things. Kamara wasn't used as heavily until a little later in the season so that may effect those stats (he got carries in the first game then sorta disappeared for several games).

I thinks Chubb would have broken some more runs had he gotten sony's carries. You can't prep for unique talent like you are proclaiming. Chubb is another level up from Michel as good as Michel is.
We Just got an update from Sonys brother, and he said 6-8 weeks.

No what I'm saying is you prep for the way a player plays. You're not gonna stop Chubb completely.

But how? They both play in a natural way that can't be prepped for. Your lb and db aren't gonna tackle Michel by preparing for his style.

Film study. Chubb for example is a one cut and go RB at the line and our DL was prepped for that and instructed to try and stop him at the point of attack. Also, prior teams we're giving up inside positioning against your OL allowing Chubb to get past the DL untouched. Part of our film and game prep was shown on one of those SEC Network stories about the game. Every RB has a tendencies and you prep for that. It doesn't mean you'll be a 100 percent successful at stopping them but it helps to know a player's tendencies and see the mistakes other teams had made with Chubb and UGA's OL.

If you've played football, you know that's not true at all. As Prof points out, every player can be analyzed for tendencies, and there's no such thing as a "natural way" that can't be prepped for by a good defense. Unless a running back is some sort of living RNG, he has strengths and weaknesses and a style, and that style is going to be reasonably consistent. That's why Bama was able to contain Chubb for most of the 2015 game -- they prepped for him, and iirc, he had a really mediocre ypc until that one late scamper. It wasn't because he's a bad back. He's clearly a very good one. It's because Bama prepared for him and specifically made his life difficult, as befits an RB who is a threat to run all over a defense if he's not hit at the point of attack.

Especially sense the dumbass on the dawgvent said it was as bad as could be, which to me is death, then paralysis, then broken neck/back.
Who said that? I didn't see a single person say anything remotely close to that over there.

Glad to hear it is not too serious.
Hope he makes it back for the opening game.

Not buying this at all. Its scheme and talent advantages that shuts the run down for bama. Their front 7 is dominant.
