    Exactly right. I have no doubt about his desire and commitment to the team.

    Just seeing his play already, he appears to have more toughness in his little pinky that AR had in his whole body. He played through a pulled hammy (a micro-tear maybe) which I know from experience is very debilitating. He may turn out to be injury prone, but I bet this kid toughs through a lot of little minor junk that would have put AR on the bench.

    Yeah, he's had some injury issues, but AR is on another level. That's a harsh comparison. For some reason, I don't think we're ever going to witness DJ taking a breather while his offense is in the redzone.

    Closer to Tebow than Richardson. Play on a broken leg type.

    However tough-minded, you can’t outplay certain injuries. THAT persists as a concern.

    Any odds on how many games he misses this year due to injury...I will say 3.

    Even if 100% healthy sit him out vs LIU. No need to risk him against team well beat unless our whole team becomes literally blind for the game.
    Remember Jordan Travis got injured against no name FCS school.

    I say one and a half…
    Let him play a few non-running plays if they feel that is safe
    Play him more against USF if we feel it is absolutely needed

    Edit: didn’t pay attention to original post – was thinking how many before he plays games start to finish.
    How many games this season?
    Don’t even want to ponder playing after the first two games this season without him:eek:

    If only we had a kid who would go out as a true freshman, and play basically on one leg, and beat a pair of ranked teams, then go on the road and beat FSU.
    Oh wait

    Sidsy wasn't warranted but he is injury prone so far. Injured in hs, college, and pros

    I understand it's minor and more of a precautionary thing. That's not official though.

    These guys workout year round.

    Gonna guess DJ wasn’t dancing on a chair the night before gameday.

    He can do that in practice with a no contact jersey on.
