My thought is Beebe is sore with knee swelling. He probably hasn’t been able to practice. They had hoped he would be healed up when the first report came out on Wednesday. Just a guess.
RBs 1-4 each have an injury designation. Somebody needs to rest.
I was wondering if its illness that is popping up. Also wondering if these guy's can't go or are limited, who are the emergency RB's that we have on the team.
This is when the coach's recall who they liked at RB in high school, even though they play a different position here.
This is a team supposedly ripe to run on. Will be interesting.
We'll just have to pass every play to give our guys a game off... Move a TE into the backfield for protection. 😆
@it-will-do Wouldn't surprise me, but still think if he was hurting he's an odd choice to come out and do a mid-week interview. if he wasn't hurt Wed or Thurs in practice, I think there's a good chance it's gamesmanship. Seems like you'd save a move like that for OSU or at least NB, but Cig also seems like a "give yourself every advantage/take no chances" type too.
@openwheel If it comes to that, I know at least a couple of our RBs and TEs played RB in HS. Ohlinger, Savage and Thiery I seem to remember.
Savage would probably be plug and play. 🤣
I don't think it's gamesmanship. We've never seen that from Cig before with an injury report. And to break that out for the Rutgers game.... not adding up to me....
Yeah, me either. Not gamesmanship.
Cig seems to expect his guys to play through if they can though... I think we'll see a dinged Beebe and a dinged Turbo out there.
Maybe spelled by a third back getting 6-8 carries or 25% , if those guys are sore. I'll bet there's little other concession. Maybe we pass more.

"the best ability is availability"

Why wouldn’t we play Jayreon Campbell before we play guys from other positions? He played some in the Howard game. I think Turbo and Beebe will both split time, regardless. Guys who are listed as “questionable” and “probable” almost always end up playing.
We would. Curious to see today whether it's Cuono or Campbell actually.Why wouldn’t we play Jayreon Campbell before we play guys from other positions?
But if our two backs are Cuono and Campbell. Who's next?
Probably a bit injured top 4 guy before a 5th back. Just saying, if both Beebe and Richard were out, would need a third RB on deck.
