Dillon Bates & Kyle Phillips

[1982Alum]

Don't see it in either. Both over rated out of HS. Injures are part of the issue but not all by any means.

Let them play special teams and provide some spotty fill in depth. Neither will be foundations to build around.

They've both been injured their entire time here. Here's hoping they are healthy and productive this year.

This. Outstanding young men that cannot shake the injury jinx. It is hard to set expectations on either until they are able to exhibit a healthy year.

I'll take players who didn't pan out for $500 Alex

Can't say that Phillips didn't pan out. The guy has been playing behind #9 for 2 years. Let's see what he can do now that he's the guy.

How about a thread titled D4H??

Would be pretty empty trending toward vacuous.

What's the old saying? If you're injured, you can't play. If you're hurt, get your ass back out there..
Probably from some movie but there's some truth in it..

I mean NO disrespect to either as I DON'T know their situations or the nature of their injuries. However, some can play hurt better than others..

OP you've been around long enough to know you DO NOT start a thread with Just Player Names!! :banghead2::banghead2:



.

It's been so long since I've seen a player name only thread title bring actual bad news.

Have either of these fine, young men taken a red-shirt year?

Yeah, or possibly verging on epic with some of the posts that COULD be made.
