Dobbs injured foot

[DD4ME]

Per Hyams Dobbs injured foot in Bama game and reinjured against SC. Could have been part of reason for poor 2nd half.

Good chance to see even more of Dormady against NT.

Would be a good idea to let starters get a couple of series in...then Dobbs,Hurd,Kamara, and others who are a little dinged should get the night off. The reserves should get an opportunity to shine.

They should consider giving Dobbs the day off completely vs North Texas, we don't need him Saturday. We need him healthy vs Mizzou and Vandy. Those will be 2 difficult games for us.

Yes, it'd be a great opportunity to let Dobbs rest (honestly I don't think I'd even start him) and let some other guys get some reps. Start Hurd and Kamara, then get those guys out of there as well! We have some big games coming up and it'd be a shame to get some hurt when we are up big on NT.

I thought he looked pretty decent passing the ball. As good as he has looked all year in a few of those drives

Take a couple mistakes from receivers away and it was pretty good night for him imo

I was at the game and I noticed a few times where he appeared to limp just a little bit.

Did Hyams mention what the specific injury was and how severe?

 

[InVOLuntary]

There was one run he had the other night when he got the edge and he had one player to beat. He didn't even try to make the guy miss, just ran into him. I thought to myself that that was strange..

I will sit Dobbs for the day honestly. Use Jennings in some packages if that has been practiced, which I bet it has.

I think Butch alluded to this in the post-game press conference.

I saw him on campus after the Bama game and he was limping noticeably, but I assumed after he performed well against Kentucky, it wasn't a big deal.

If you know your QB has a bad wheel, why on the most important 3rd down of the game, when you must have a first down to put the game on ice, do you call a QB run?

Reinjured in SC game supposedly. For the other poster that asked Hyams did not specify the injury. He indicated it hampered his running which is why you saw less runs.

Rest Dobbs, start Dormady.

Trying to close out the game I'd assume. He was banged up not completely broken else we'd all have noticed before this.

Don't play him this week at all. No need to run the risk of further injuring it more significantly or permanently.

Play Dormady since his redshirt is blown anyway. Play him......

 

[DD4ME]

The better question is why didn't Dormady play more against UK since Dobbs had been injured the game prior?

Saw the EXACT same thing and KNEW something was up. Could've EASILY gone for a BIG gain.:blink:

Butch is already making excuses for when we lose to North Texas.

Why be that type of fan? I mean really?...

And why did they not let Dormandy throw?????

You should've made excuses for that post.

 

[90 Vol]

And why did they not let Dormandy throw?????

Because he's not on our roster.

Time to let Dormady shine for a game. He needs valuable reps and experience
