I wondered the same thing. Foley lines even when he took over last year I vividly remember them blocking to the second level. This line seems to like to fall back. Still better than the GDL line though.Also, is it just me, or does this running game look like Foley isn't completely in charge of it?
It's probably my paranoia, but this does not look like classic Foley run game. I'm wondering how much of the control of the run game and the OLine belongs to Cummings...
blah blah..sample size...there isn't much here. You would need to include last year's stats to show something tangible, which I really discount because of the vastly different schedules each guy played. But, I agree that Casey is better, he's just not so much better that his absence is the cause of our offensive offensiveness and that his return is some panacea. I also think the two QB thing is dumb. BD had the whole offseason to pick a guy, he should have be picked a guy.

My gut tells me a Tuesday announcement means a possible medical redshirt for CC. I hope not, because Whitmer looks like a lost cause.
????????Yeah, the word "Formal" in formal announcement scares me. Hopefully we are just reading too much into it.
If Casey gets a medical redshirt and we burn Boyle's redshirt suddenly Boyle and Casey swap classes.
One guy played against MD and Michigan under a disaster of a coach behind the worst OL play I've ever seen.
Another played against the meat of the schedule under a new midseason regime
And the third, who actually won games, played against the weakest part of the schedule after the team had a chance to...I won't quite call it improve, but you get the idea.
The hope you seek will not be found under center. It's about 3 feet forward.
????????
Casey already redshirted (2012). If we redshirt him again he loses the year.

Did Casey have a documented injury in 2012?

I hope you meant had.
I also hope that if he did have a broken wrist the (then) leadership was diligent enough to file that paperwork on time. When (I can't remember his name) the QB from Wake transferred to Cincy for his fifth year, he would have qualified for a waiver if the true freshman season he lost due to an injury (he lost another to injury a couple years later) had paperwork filed with the NCAA on his injury. As Wake did not file it, he did not get the waiver and his eligibility (he only played three seasons total) expired after year five.
Not sure if you just missed the posts a couple minutes before you but yes he broke his wrist or hand Freshman year. I thought hand but they said wrist. In any event it was definitely the injury that put the QB discussion to rest that year. In the event that Casey misses the rest of the year due to a concussion, this would be a clear cut 6 year situation (sometimes they can be sticklers over it I think).Was he hurt his freshman year? if there's no documented injury from his freshman year he is not eligible for any medical redshirt this year.
Some great thoughts... would I want CC in there FULL TIME going forward. Absolutely. But, if he can't go and the prognosis is bad, them medically redshirt for the whole year and go with Boyle...flipping the parties involved in distancing the year between.The answer should be a definite yes. He had a broken wrist.

The only things that could prevent it would be failure to file paperwork his Freshman year (imagine the further PP outrage....) or the NCAA just giving the good ole shaft to UConn. Both seem equally likely.
Lose-lose as far as I'm concerned. As much as we all want him out there this kid's life isn't worth us having an outside shot at a bowl vs a Sun Belt team.
I agree. This is pretty serious, I don't see CC playing against Boise.
A major determinant of sport-related concussions is an athlete's prior history of concussions. Research suggests that if someone has already received one concussion, they are 1-2 times more likely to receive a second one. If they've had two concussions, then a third is 2-4 times more likely, and if they've had three concussions, then they are 3-9 times more likely to receive their fourth concussion.
