'20 VA APB Chris Tyree (Notre Dame Signee)

[IrishLion]

did tyree get hurt against VT? I don't remember seeing much of tyree in the 2nd half against VT, instead logan diggs seemed to get tyrees carries.

He's got turf toe. Hopefully two weeks of staying off of it will have ready for USC.

Let's hope so. I got turf toe in college and it was nagging all season. Though I was a 315 lbs OL that slammed my feet, constantly aggravating it.

 

[rtrn2glory]

yea this could be something that lingers throughout the season, but hopefully the extra week off will be what it takes to get him back up to speed.

Between not playing against VT and two weeks before USC this gives him three weeks to get it in a better place. Hopefully that does it.

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

BK said in his presser it sounds like he is in line to play on Saturday; said he is taking first team KR reps and second team RB carries in practice today and barring any set back in his ability to go full speed, he should be available.

 

[stpeteirish]

I guess we find out at 7:42 PM Sat how it went today.

 

[Riddickulous]

Was it just me or did he look really good tonight? Gonna be a very fierce battle for carries next year.

Was not just you

 

[Sherm Sticky]

He finally seems to have that turf toe behind him now.

 

[tko]

He looked fresh and was explosive.

Yep, looked fresh and decisive. Got his wiggle back, cutting full speed too. Was great to see! If this line can open up even the slightest holes for him next year, look out!

 

[BobbyMac]

Takes a big jump in production as 2022's Rocketback.

 

[BobbyMac]

 

[Riddickulous]

He's never going to be a true RB1 but he's so explosive that he still demands 5-10 touches a game. Just don't expect him to run between the tackles as he goes down on first contact more or less 100% of the time.

 

[dankgesang]

I think his role on the team and lack of production has been one of the more disappointing storylines of the offense. We’ve needed this guy to show he can separate from the pack and be a playmaker.

Agreed. He's mini-me George Atkinson.

 

[Henges24]

Would do much better in the slot. Hopefully Estime and Diggs can show out early so he can embrace his needed slot role.

 

[EuropeanDomer22]

He wil make some big plays from time to time but he is not a consistent threat, a move to the slot would be ideal considering Diggs&Estime can hold on the position. Theo Riddick was moved to the slot as a Senior and that move for the theam. Riddick was quicker and more elusive in tight spaces but Tyree has much better long speed.

 

[Me2SouthBend]

Agreed. He's mini-me George Atkinson.

Not even close. Bad take.

 

[dankgesang]

Not even close. Bad take.

I don't know man I admit Chris hasn't had a 5 TD season or a 600 yd t.o. season but he's not that far behind. And also he's a one cut sprinter with no shake. I guess he caught like 20 passes last year. I stand by my (light hearted) post.

 

[ulukinatme]

With the lack of WRs and Diggs being healthy it might make sense to move Tyree permanently into the Slot. He was a bright spot there in the Fiesta Bowl, he has great pass catching ability. He's very dangerous in the open field too.

Agreed.

But I can see why that didn't happen, considering Diggs was still out and losing Price left ND with only him, Estime and Payne.

Need to get some screens to this man. Ball needs to be getting into his and Lo's hands period

[Jimmy3Putt]

They need to do the Fuller screen to him 1-2 times every week.

 

[DONTH8]

And preferably to the wide side of the field...

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

He showed me something today. Kid's got some wiggle that I was beginning to wonder if he had. Not just the straight line runner anymore. Keep it up!

 

[dublinirish]

little bro got wheels too

 

[fightingirish26]

Mildly scary bump
