Since no one else has started this thread this week, let me be the first.
Dems...we've been hearing much about our injury woes this week. How will things shake up for Clemson in your opinion? Are we gonna be OK (barring another rash of injuries) for the upcoming ACC gauntlet?
How's Calvin Booker looking in practice? Bryce Dykes? Will Dykes get any time Saturday? How's Marcus been looking in practice?
Give us some good news man!
I think we will be ok for Clemson. We really have got lucky with our injuries coming at fairly good times in the schedule. Josh is becoming a lot more mobile, he is close from what he told me but just doesn't have the burst yet. If there are no set backs I look for him to take some snaps. Jaybo I think might sit out all together, today he seemed like he just didn't think he would be ready to go, we will see how he is tomorrow.
With that said Cal is ready to go. Never seen a kid so pumped and excited to get a shot. I think he starts as of right now unless Josh comes in tomorrow saying he can go full speed. I really am excited for Cal and think he will do a good job out there, he is a leader and the guys will rally around him. They all want him to succeed.
I expect us to be fine for Clemson. Embry is most likely out for Clemson and could be longer, see how long the ankle takes to heel with that one. Quincy is also out and could be out a while. Barring any setback Josh and Jaybo should both be fine and full speed by the 18th.
Marcus has been doing well and looks like he will definitely be seeing some time, he may also get a look at kickoffs in the second half. I'm excited to see little Marcus get some time, if he can adjust he could really help us down the stretch, he is a homerun threat when he hits that corner.
Dykes may play a little, if Josh and Jaybo neither play then Dykes will get some 2nd half action definitely.
Jefferson will be out there and he is excited to get back. Has had a rough week of practice so far though just getting back in the groove of things.
Saturday should be fun with a lot of people getting time. It is always fun to watch the young guys go out and mix it up.
