now imagine playing a contact sport, where other players from teams will be gunning for your injury. I just cant see Floyd on the field next week.

I was thinking the same thing but check out the practice videos on rivals. He looked good. You can only imagine he will get more comfort with the wound.

in practice was he going down after catches, were DB's tackling him? was he taking/giving hits? running around in practice in one thing; going full speed and playing against an opponent is on a whole other level.

No doubt... I am just saying you have to imagine he will feel more comfortable with it in 4 days. Not perfect, just more comfortable.

Stitches on the knee means out for a week or 2. Floyd might be one of those guys who has all the talent in the world and just gets injured on freak plays and sits out a lot.

Holy Sh!!...man don't say that...now I gotta go do some voodoo stuff...and my wife hates the screaming animals and smoke...I'm blaming you!


Seriously...lets hope he doesn't have those snake bit issues...

where's Mr. Miyagi when you need him....

From Tuesday Weis Press Conference

From Tuesday Weis Press Conference

Q. Any word on injuries?
COACH WEIS: (Michael) Floyd didn't have any knee injury. He had 15 stitches in that knee, so what we will do is practice him and just not have him do monkey rolls and try to keep him off the ground and try to keep the cut from opening up this week. And also we will do all we can.
But we told him he's from Minnesota and we gave him the hockey analogy; that if you get 15 stitches in a hockey game, usually you're out about five minutes and you're back in there. So we have been playing the Minnesota angle with him all week long. But fortunately he is getting around pretty good.
The problem, one of my bigger concerns, is this campus, like every other campus, I'm concerned with the swine flu; in that we haven't had any firm cases of it, but because it's running around, all of the high schools and colleges around the country, that's all a concern of mine, and you know, kids can come down at last minute and get sick. Knock on wood, we continue to be relatively healthy. I would put (James) Aldridge not out, but I would say doubtful. He's going to run around some today. We will have to test the shoulder out. But I would still list him as doubtful for the game. Other than that, you could bring somebody up that I might be forgetting -- Armando is good. Bruised ego but other than that, I think should be just fine.


Q. Is Duval (Kamara) getting close to 100 percent, good blocking down the field, but is he at a point where he can run down the field now? COACH WEIS: Oh, I think that he's right there. I think he can go vertical down the field right now without too much of a problem. I think even in the first game, he could go down the field without too much of a problem. Just didn't practice as much leading into that game. But I don't think you'll have to worry about him getting down the field. I think we could do that now.

There is no joy in Spartyville because Floyd will be 100%

 

[TDHeysus]

from the article in the above link:

"The Irish have amassed 1,000 yards even in total offense in their first two games this season. That's the most by an Irish team in the first two games of a season since 1974."

Done with Weis' recruited players, and Weis' play calling.....

 

[King&Expedition]

@TDHeysus I'm glad to see the Irish moving the ball. It's a change of pace from past years.

Welcome King&Expedition. Hope you can bring some intelligent football conversation here. We've had some problems recently but have befriended some of our rivals fans who add to this board with good insight and information. Hope you have a good stay.

Here is a video of him practicing. I hope this helps.........

Now lets hope we can avoid 1000 yards even against us.
