As in drive and maturity.Except one is a starter and the other won't even be active week 1 and is last on the depth chart?Isiah Crowell = Christine MichaelYep.i think he means for week 1. isn't duke hurt?Undisputed #1.....
Good call.
2 is several?
Oh, so you're just making it up as you go. Nice.
Have you watched a good bit of Miami football? I ask because that would really be the biggest clue as to how many concussions he has had. There is only one officially documented but there have been other situations where concussions could have occurred but were not labeled as such.hahaha, ok dude.
they're one of the many programs that has a track record of misreporting concussions, and the ncaa has no interest in making that particular number look any higher than it has to
concussive brain trauma becomes an almost compounding injury, each one increases the chances to suffer more in the future, and it often takes longer to recover from each successive one
if you wanna turn a blind eye to it that's cool, go ahead and draft dudes like reed, cameron, swope, duke johnson
just get used to seeing "still in concussion protocol" two weeks after their most recent contribution to your squad when they go out mid game and the announcers say he's "shaken up on the play"
He has a history of migraines which goes back to when he was a child. He claims that his issues in 2013 were migraines and not concussions even though they were brought on by hits to his head. I guess its pretty concerning either way.
There is some smoke here.
it's not about one program in particular. it's about a systemic denial throughout the sport.
Percy Harvin had migraines as well and took himself out of games at times because of them flaring up.Have you watched a good bit of Miami football?

Poking around the internet I found this article from ESPN where they mention he was limited in a few games in 2013 (the year he broke his ankle) after taking hits to the head:

The Vikings doctors discovered it was a sleep related disorder and that with a special pillow the issue pretty much went away.
Not saying this is the same as Duke Johnson. I don't know. It just reminded me of Harvin also having migraine problems.
Lots of tough matchups this year. 3rd most difficult RB schedule according to Fantasy Pros.http://www.fantasypros.com/nfl/strength-of-schedule.php?position=RB
Maybe the RB schedule is harder this year but that could easily be offset by having the O-line go from subpar to top 3 with Mack back at center this year. Passing game isn't any worse than last year and if Crowell had his carries plus West's he'd have been a top fantasy 20 RB easy, maybe better than that.
I agree with you on Crowell, and I am heavily invested in him That doesn't change the fact that you have yet to show us one single example from your "medley of sources". Sorry, but "I hear from some dude" doesn't cut it. You say multiple programs have a history of not reporting it, yet you give three individual examples from three different programs. That's not systemic, that's three single instances. And you're tossing down eye-rolls?
Crow's schedule last year when Mack was under center (weeks 1-4, and 6) wasn't exactly cake and he was averaging 5.4ypc (44/237/4). One opponent was BAL, who ended up allowing the least amount of points to RBs by years end. In that game Crow finished with 11/55/1 stat line and was one of the few RBs to run effectively vs. them all year save Bell and West (week 17). I feel like this OL can help offset a bad SoS, plus we know we need to take SoS rankings with a grain of salt.
Good posting here, Crow gets his shot first. Roto is reporting Duke has been cleared and is expected to play this week, so Crow needs to shine
Maybe so, but they didn't spend a 3rd round pick on him to have him sit around. I fully believe he'll push Crowell for early down carries in a few weeks. He's just not that talented (undrafted out of Alabama State) and he fumbles a lot. I see Duke doing a lot of damage with 10-15 touches a week (a la Charles).
PIT allowed the 20th fewest points to RBs last year. They were not a plus match-up, in fact CLE was actually one of the very few teams to actually run on them..hotlanta said:
There are definitely question marks surrounding Crow but ability isn't one of them.LawFitz said:
Isaiah Crowell @IsaiahCrowell34 23h23 hours ago
I got him at the 7/8 turn to tide me over until Gurley gets going. If he does that anything else in the season is bonus.
But where he's being drafted means he doesn't need to be an every week starter. After week 1 he gets the Titans, Raiders, and Chargers.
Isn't Defilippo sticking with the ZBS anyway? Plus, he stated he wanted to get the RBs more involved in the passing game this year..this coincides with Pettine saying that one aspect of Crow's game that has improved is his pass catching. I don't think Shanahan leaving will effect the potency of this run game to be honest.
Good Question.. Hopefully the Browns don't get up by two scores, and we find out..
