Predictions on Sammy Watkins playing in the Dome?
Aug 3, 2012, 10:32 AM
|
|
I said a few months ago on this board that he will play against Auburn and maybe sit out the next one of two games against easier competition at home. Some argued that Dabo would be a hypocrite or wrong for choosing that path, while I felt it would hurt Watkins stats wise and cost him a few national post season awards which is fair enough without hurting his teammates. Any new thoughts as we are now less than a month away from opening day?

Why does he have to miss any playing time don't think Dabo is looking to please the media or any other coaching staff I will say it again no one knows what Dabo, AD & Adm have talked with SW & his Attorney about or what has been agreed to What ever Dabo does or does not do will be in the best interest for Clemson, not the media, other schools or anyone on the net.

I hope he doesn't miss any time. Just my opinion that he will sit for part of the game. If Dabo says he upheld whatever standards he set for him in wake of the arrest, that's good enough for me

Dabo has already stated that the punishment will include game time...

He will play (how much I don't know) and perhaps be limited vs. Ball St. as well.

IF Sammy misses any playing time, it will be in the Auburn game. He won't play the whole game and then sit part of the next game, or sit part of both games but not all of either...that's not how it works. If Sammy misses any of the second game, I can guarantee you that means he sat out the whole Auburn game.

I think he sits the first half and the second half depends on how close the game is.

I say he sits the first play of the game and then he goes in for the second play for Boyd to hit him on a slant route that goes for a 65 yard TD!

Dabo will not start him against Auburn and then play him when needed. If we are winning then he will sit him until the game gets close.

He sits the AU game - unless we start losing.
