@MGoShoe I'm not gonna reveal my source, but it's the same person that told me Jake Ryan tore his ACL before it was announced
the messenger
I mean, was Green really going to pick up all the pass protections and blocking schemes by the first game? It's all good, get well soon derrick!
This is being "reported" while our beat writer for Detroit news is still tweeting about food.
the human body is very tough - I once saw a movie where a guy with a gunshot wound hit a homerun.....that is how tough the human body is
No word yet on CNN FOX or MSNBC - I'll be monitoring all night.
A user posted a topic asking over on 247, but none of the gurus have weighed in yet.
FIRE BORGES!!!1!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!
If true, the real question is what will Hoke call it? ... "dinged up" is a good guess, but I'm going to go with "boo-boo" ...
Damn, this is especially concerning in light of Brian revealing this morning that Deveon Smith had been eaten by an editor.
Let's just hope that was either false or he gets regurgitated.
...you want Derrick Green to be ingested and then thrown up? You sick bastard. AMRRBG is a fate incomprehensible.
Practice can't hurt Derrick Green. Derrick Green hurts practice.
True story.
...the one thing I almost forgot about football season is how much people over-fucking-react around here. It's embarassing. It's TWO WEEKS! Hell, it may help him to be able to stand on the side and learn the playbook a little more and watch. If the 2 weeks is accurate, he'd be able to play in the season opener.
Don't you think that much of the "over-fucking-reacting" is just members being facetious for the purpose of offering some modicum of comedic effect? I do, but perhaps I'm wrong.
I think you're the only one over-fucking-reacting.

You don't "learn the playbook" by standing around watching. You learn by doing it. This is a problem that the corches will have to sort out. Borges had just said that in the next week he and Freddy J had hoped to narrow down our stable of RB's, because you can't get them all ready...

"The biggest thing I tell my guys is I didn't get all the reps (when I was a freshman), but I made sure I watched every rep," Hart said. "There's freshmen on my team over there talking, and they don't know the playcall or what's going on.
"You can process these things without getting a physical rep. I think that's kind of what helped me transition, is I was only getting a couple reps, but I was really getting 15 reps per period. A new playcall, I was thinking about what I had to do and how I had to do it."

I don't like change. Also looking at you MGOBLOG. Neg away.
Well, we can't neg...well played, you clever devil
BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm not even going to let myself get worked up over this crass.
In the words of Spandau Ballet, this much is true... Not worried.
....ain't that a bitch
Well, this puts us in the same position we were in last year - Toussaint, Rawls, and Hayes (minus Vincent Smith). Not to diminish the loss, but we do have some depth there.

I haven't heard or seen any
Still no confirmation.
CURSE.
From here on out make your weekly obsession about Urban Meyer.
We'll be fine.
Aside from about one run against Illinois last year, Rawls hasn't shown anything. If he's heavily in the rotation, that's bad news.

I don't know man, Rawls looked pretty slow and didnt break many, if any tackles last year. Even without Greene I doubt he gets any carries unless its a blowout.
He still couldn't break any tackles or outrun anyone. Yes, the interior blocking was poor at times, but he's not fast or powerful. The most power he's shown was when he ran through Jarrod Wilson's tackle...when Wilson enrolled early and should have been a high school senior during the 2012 spring game.
When he went head on with the Strong Safety Sunseri and got blown to pieces.

Clearly you were paying zero attention to Coach Jackson during his descriptions of Mr. Rawls. I'd be suprised if this minor injury to Greene doesn't result in a Heisman for Rawls within a year or two.
August 8th, 2013 at 10:54 AM ^
For once I agree with you about a player.
Rawls is a great kid and I met his parents and they are wonderful people, but he had a lot of trouble last year. It may or may not have been the interior O-Line being weak (looking at you, Mealer), but man he was completely ineffective. Watch pretty much any game last year and you will see Rawls getting hit in the backfield and going down quick. It was pretty bad.

When he went down, 37 people were killed!
August 7th, 2013 at 10:22 PM ^
does that mean we lost 37 players on defense? :)
