is the ACL injury to Haynes that happened last year. Imagine if he was healthy this year.....things would be soooo much different......I don't think anyone realized what a blow that was at the time.

That has thrown the cohesion of our entire oline off.

And that is why I don’t understand having Randall back there returning kicks this year. What we got if the same happens to him?

Randall is not a RB, at least vs the big boys...shame on Dabo/staff for thinking he is. Big missed opportunity to bring in someone from portal.

I agree that staff SHOULD have brought in a RB from the portal. Big mistake not to have done so.

I see your point but with little blocking or commitment to run the ball I'm not sure another body in that position room would help even if it was a very experienced back.
