The best part of following a team who doesn't use last names on the jersey is that instead of being like that guy with an Alfonso Soriano jersey at a Cubs game, I am now the owner of a Troy Pride jersey.

Yep... and with any of my other teams I either have a classic player that is forever tied (Like Tim Salmon for my Halos or Kevin Mack for my Browns) or I just put my own last name on the damned thing... If I'm going to spend all that money I'm only doing it if I know I can rock if the rest of my days.

Per Eric Hansen of SBT:

#NotreDame coach Brian Kelly said DE Daelin Hayes has a labrum tear and is out for the season; CB Shaun Crawford is out 3-4 weeks with a dislocated elbow. WR Chase Claypool has a right ankle injury that should not affect him in practice.

Will be at the Senior Bowl

Sherm Sticky · Nov 14, 2019

Yup. Figured he would. Ball out Chase.

Agreed. Wish it was close, but it isn't.

Idk, the punter has been pretty good. (No italics)

If Cole Kmet had played every game I think it would squarely be him, still might be.

Maybe silly question but any chance these Senior Bowl guys don't participate in whatever bowl (citrus) we go to?

No way. Better to ball out in a bowl game than in the Senior Bowl, but more eyes on you are more eyes on you so many do both to try and increase their draft eligibility. Typically they participate in both, or none at all if they're possibly a high draft pick and don't want to get injured.

While i hear you on the importance of balling out in a highly televised bowl game (hope we make it to one of those), the Senior Bowl has the Staff's of two pro teams coaching them all week, and then the scouts of every team in attendance. That seems like a pretty important week of time to shine for Chase and others.

(not suggesting that he would or should sit for any bowl game)

InKellyWeTrust · Nov 15, 2019

I don't see any of the guys sitting out the bowl game. It just not what this team, or this program, or ND as a university is about. I think they will all want to suit up one more time alongside their boys to get a big win for the program. Hope I'm right because I would be disappointed if any of them do sit willfully.

matman4593 · Nov 15, 2019

if any of them do sit, the most likely one is Claypool though

Throughout this season, Claypool has put his body on the line to help ND win games. I wouldn't be disappointed if he decided to say "enough is enough" after the Stanford game. I'm rooting first and foremost for seniors to do well in the next phase of their career. We all know how these extra games can hinder a player's professional aspirations after Jaylon's freak injury in the Cotton Bowl.

Worked out pretty well for him

Probably not his preferred trajectory, but ok...

He actually said he had no regrets and would still play in the game if he had to do it over again.

Thought that injury occurred vs pOSU in Fiesta Bowl?

For NFL evaluation the Senior Bowl is significantly more important than the Cotton Bowl or any bowl for that matter. It's an entire week of scouting practices, cameras on every rep, NFL brass interactions, etc. Not even close.

No one with a potential NFL contract on the line would prefer to blow out multiple knee ligaments. I don't care how positive he's being about it in retrospect.

I'm sure some live life only worrying about the bottom line but some also enjoy the ride along the way.

T-Boone · Nov 15, 2019

I think the story line of the comeback was probably worth the injury for Jaylon. If he went top 5 he could have been one of those slightly disappointing stories (even Clowney is slightly disappointing and he has had a very good career). As it is he is a really great comeback story.

T-Boone · Nov 15, 2019

How much did Claypool play at WR in his freshman year? Should he have cross trained at LBer that year?.....bracing for a barrage of tomato's.

I think I remember him balling out on special teams.

His HS film was better at LB than WR. I was actually disappointed when they put him on offense.
