Josh Smith /Pearson for FL?

[Stevorino]

We could use either in a big way.

 

[Wickman]

Doubt either play. Injuries were worse than originally thought to be

Wasn't Smith almost available for UGA last week?

That's what they said. They're Hoping he'll be back this week but both injuries were worse than expected

What does worse than expected mean?

 

[VolnJC]

doubtful for both..they aren't on the depth chart for Florida

I think Von plays this week.

It's only Monday...

Pearson has had a week longer to rehab. Hope he makes it back he adds another big threat.

 

[Wickman]

Jmo, but the earliest they'll be back is Chatt

 

[Section KK]

We can beat UF without either, need them back for Ole Miss/Bama/SC.

And how effective would they really be if they aren't 100 percent? I want them ready to go, not ready to go at 75 percent. I would rather a pass go to a healthy Pig Howard than to a hobbled Pearson or Smith.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. You and the coaches are almost certainly in agreement on this. We aren't so devoid of depth at WR that we need to throw hobbled players out there. If they can't outperform a Johnathan Johnson or a Jacob Carter, you won't see them out there.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

it's monday morning.

 

[YorkVol]

Our receiving corps has been doing fine. Sure they could add some to it, but this isn't our biggest worry at this point.

What does worse than expected mean?

I am going out on a limb... Probably worst than originally thought

 

[AirVol]

If the O line can't block, Pearson and Smith doesn't matter at this point.

As hard as it was to watch, there was a difference from Oklahoma.

I'm looking forward to watching that right side grow and learn together.

Thomas may move to left, but Jack Jones will slide in at RT.

i've been hearing it's 4-6 weeks to recover from high ankle sprain. this would be week 4 for von.

then UTC is after flarduh. i wonder if the coaches would risk him for UTC.

is it realistic to day ole miss?

 

[Perkins_Hall]

say not day

If he can play against UTC, I would play him. He could use the reps after being out so long.

 

[KBVol]

Daniel Lewis said this morning he'd be surprised if either plays this week, both still on crutches. Thinks it could be Ole Miss game before we see either.

CBJ said that Von was ahead of Josh in his rehab.

Pay no attention to depth charts. Injury reports are almost as useless.
I doubt either one plays.

Insightful analysis! Made me laugh.
