TigerfanKM 37 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I have read bits and pieces of conflicting information as to whether Kerryon Johnson will play against Mizz. Does anyone have any reliable information they can share? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKEEL75 2,566 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 According to Gus's presser, KJ will play Saturday. With that being said many people (myself included) believe if he does play that there is little to no chance he is 100%. So basically between 2 RBs that will be playing neither will be 100%.

lutzcammed 469 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 what did Gus say? wait, nevermind....... if I had to guess he plays. at about 75%, can't cut very well, tries to do to much and gets hurt again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weagl1 1,782 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I would give him another week no need to rush him back and reinjure it. I think we will be throwing more Saturday and the other backs also need some work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, this guy continues to amaze. If Magoo can't run an offensive game plan without playing an injured player, then what does that say about him. I have nothing personal against Mr. Wizard, the dad,the husband, the family man, nothing yet. Its the HC at AU part that makes me want to say bad things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustache eagle 2,397 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Gus is uber worried about turnovers (and blocking for QB). I think that leads to irrational personnel decisions. primary exhibit is the lack of PT by the young back up RBs as far as pass block, id like to think a solid coach could scheme around that issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passthebiscuits 6,844 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 The official word from coaches on KJ is that he's "available." In NFL terms one would upgrade his status from "doubtful" to "questionable." If I were looking at this type of injury in other players, I would doubt that he is actually fully ready to go just yet. Also, no matter how good he might feel now, I would guess that this is one of those lingering injuries that likely might start feeling better and then is an on again/off again flare up through the season. no further info being made available regarding KJ for now.

Beaker 2,457 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I would pay money for Auburn to play 4 different backs on Saturday. As Stutts pointed out, our plan is not a smart plan. And as the AUDevil-man said, no sin has been committed yet. I shall hope and pray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Malik Miller healthy? Just heard something on a radio show that insinuated he isnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're gonna hear "little banged up" for all of our backs for the next several weeks. Miller is probably healthier than our first 2 starters. But yes he's dealing with a small issue he suffered in practice. Nothing severe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanTiger 20,472 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 What is with us not rotating the backs more? There was no damn reason to give Bubba 34 carries last game and none to any other back. Do they not trust them with pass blocking? Don't tell me ball security because Bubba put one on the ground along with two WRs that I didn't see riding the pine for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Malzahn got a flat tire, instead of pulling over to change it, he would think to himself maybe I'll just drive real slow until i get home. Meanwhile, he is backing up traffic for miles, the tire starts shredding off the rim, the rim is throwing sparks on the gas tank, and his truck is engulfed in flames right into his driveway. Hey, atleast he made it home today. Although his home is now in danger of being burned to the ground as well. Ok, maybe he isnt that stubborn but its pretty close.

TigerOne 1,140 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 why doesn't Auburn use all its playmakers? because they aren't ready? that's coaching Don't know the playbook? are you kidding, uat has a chapter in their's called Auburn playbook, it's one page.

JFDTiger80 790 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Agree we need to rotate the backs. Miller needs some carries and Barrett needs carries too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pettaway pretty much did not participate in the spring, had no real live fall practice either and missed the first game. Evidently he is dealing with a foot issue that could limit his practice each week. The argument could be made that he is not game shape ready and the only time he can get himself ready is by carrying the ball a lot during a game. The only time he is anywhere near full speed is on game day when his foot has been numbed up. This is a theory that I have heard others mention. It is not mine and have not decided if it holds water or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamstrings are one of those weird injuries that you can feel good all week but all it takes is using those fast twitch muscles the wrong way and you aggravate it again. Unfortunately the only way to know this is by going live 100% which I highly doubt he's done in practice. Honestly I think he holds out as much as possible as we SHOULD have our way with Mizzou. I would rather have him healthier vs Moo St bc we all know that will be a physical game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Stidham gets hurt, it's a 5-6 season for Gus and millionaire unemployment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
