With Terry, how soon can we realistically expect him to get game snaps if his first practices at RB were a practice or two leading up to OU? Not sure he sees the field all that much this year unless we’re in a really bad place at RB injury wise.

Can't like this enough. 

This team could use a player with his attitude every year. 

Y'all remember his forced fumble against tcu that one time. Xavier Worthy recovered it, I think. Pepperidge Farm remembers. Dude's a bad mofo.

Well our #1 back is probably sitting again this weekend and our #4 back just quit for the season. Our #2 back and current starter has missed half of our games this season.

What qualifies as "really bad" for you? 

I mean we’ve got 3 guys healthy for this weekend, barring any injuries in the next 2 days. If Baxter never comes back, then sure, if there’s an additional injury or we’re blowing out a conference foe.

I think the question is how quickly Terry could jump Simon or Clark on the depth chart. The situation is bad enough to have necessitated a break glass in case of emergency position-switch. 

I wouldn't expect him to play non-garbage minutes Saturday, though.

FWIW, IT says Rickey Stewart is dealing with a family emergency and will rejoin the team when that is over.

This almost never works out well. The small running back out of San Antonio did this, the DE out of the Golden Triangle, those two immediately come to mind. See ya, bud.

Don't sleep on Colin Page. I say only half-jokingly. He looked pretty solid.

That’s fair. If that’s the case then we really need to call into question the position choice at the start of the year. Considering the guys we brought in at WR, the only viable excuse considering 2 of our 6 RBs were returning from very serious injuries on a short timeline is that Terry wanted to start at WR.

That was my feel too. Think it was Gerry H who said that Stewart has yet to attend a Texas football game with his uniform on. Maybe this "emergency" dates back to August, I don't know.

I left out that they also said he's been in concussion protocol "for a few weeks". Seems strange that he wasn't ever listed on the weekly injury report, and still isn't, but I admittedly don't know the rules on who has to go on there.

I’m interested to see Terry get some snaps. I think he’s got possibly better talent than any other back on the roster, once you take into account Baxter’s injury. Those saying he won’t see playing time might be right, but I have a feeling after a few practices they are going to realize RB is a very legitimate option for him for now.

I think I read somewhere that Sark said Terry has been the scout team running back for the last 3 weeks.

Michael Terry officially to RB with Gibson’s departure.  6’3 220 with decent speed.  

Lil Jordan Humphrey starter kit. Has real good feet, burst, and vision. His competition looked like middle schoolers in his reel.

I don't think he gets meaningful game snaps at all unless there's further injuries or there's specific plays to utilize him in the passing game. Otherwise, I thikn they're just looking for another depth option to take some empty calorie carries so Wisner isn't burnt out for Georgia and A&M.

they don't list Cojoe in the injury reports either.  They seem to not list players who will be out for the year.

Buddy, I don't know how to tell you this without it hurting, but we are in a bad place injury-wise. Wisner is banged up, we may never see Baxter again, Gibson is gone, and we're left with two freshmen RB'S trying to catch up to the speed of the game. Oh, and Sark is square peg round hole with Niblett, all 170 lbs of him, at RB. We need Michael Terry to just hold on to the ball, fuck some linemen up, and block for Arch, or go for a screen. He's a Derrick Henry size RB (not saying he's Derrick Henry) he just has the size to punish people.

So where’s a safe space to get Terry carries? I’d say up 2 touchdowns late at Kentucky sounds right. 
 

I wish Stewart well, but as others have pointed out, leaving the team in the middle of the season never works out well.

Does anybody some insight on the Baxter injury? All I’ve seen is hamstring with no timetable to return.

His pulled his body while taking a step.  His timetable to return is exactly one play before he goes out again.

Yeah, at this point it'll be a miracle if we ever see Baxter play again. He should talk to Jordan Whittington.

Futureman has to fist himself and @closetojumping has something to do regarding Jaydon Blue contributing at Texas (I can’t remember what)

Think people need to temper expectations on Terry appearances outside of garbage time. Seems like it’s just a warm body.

Fuck that shit. This guy is the second coming of Edwin Simmons, minus the exploding kneecaps.

So he’s going to get caught naked in the backyard of a booster after he banged his wife? 

Not that there is anything wrong with that…..
