E.D. Cleared to Practice Doubtful to play

[SUFan44]

Will Shafer say either way though?

Not until Thursday when he needs to. Also they could say he's a game-time decision like Trudo was this week. I bet they knew Trudo wasn't likely to play, too.

If this is true, and no offense it's a big if considering Miles just said on his teleconference it was a concussion, we play him no doubt. I get everyone is concerned about him taking hits but the hit that knocked him out was a very blatant cheap shot that he hopefully and probably won't take again. He has proven he can take the normal pounding a QB takes and move on to the next play so I for one am not worried about it unless LSU has some piece of scum lower than 44 on CMU that plays the game like a goon.

How would Miles know? We would know before him.

 

[jekelish]

The fact that he knows means to me that it's a positive thing. (At least that's what I keep telling myself).

He doesn't know. He tweeted later saying it was tongue in cheek.

Yeah - he and nunes been crying about how Shafer handled his presser all morning - but I did see that one nugget of info dissolve

 

[dan7800]

I will believe it when I hear it from SU, but thanks for getting my hopes up.

 

[texascpa]

If he had a concussion, would he have been cleared to even practice this early?

No way. This is awesome news.

 

[jekelish]

No way. This is awesome news.

Let's hold off on the "awesome news" part until it's actually substantiated by, well, anyone. I'm skeptical, to say the least.

Hopeful, but skeptical.

Ah, the world of Twitter.

Hopeful, but skeptical.

It's my eternal optimism coming out again.

 

[jekelish]

Dungey is listed as the starter on the 2-deep. But, based on what I've been told, let's just say I'm skeptical.

but will they play him...?

I really hope you're right, but move dropping this info without elaborating. That's a troll move bro. This would be significant news, and dropping it into a thread all blase is trollish. I hope the people buying you at face value take their likes back.

 

[OrangeinOmaha]

This is encouraging. http://www.syracuse.com/orangefootb...l?hootPostID=1597f810a5bc36120d1b46122dc0ec48

They don't have to have an injury report for non-conference games.

Maybe that's all he can share? Give people with track records of inside info the benefit of the doubt...

 

[jekelish]

Just so everyone is crystal clear: the original poster's statement is not true. At least, not yet. From people who absolutely would know, Dungey's status is still very much in the air.

 

[Alsacs]

We need to trust the OP. We as fans yearn for information I trust the poster wouldn't put this out there unless he has direct information. The post isn't saying ED will play as the coaches could decide to sit him and let him get healthy for USF.

We could put Ryan Nassib and the 2012 offense back there and still lose this week. LSU's talent is crazy good. They have probably 15-20 NFL players on their roster roght now.

I'm all for giving people the benefit of the doubt. But I've heard from people I trust, with inside sources, that he hasn't yet been cleared.

This is most likely a day to day deal.

Why would Shaf say when LSU would be forced to prepare for the next Tommie Frazier (Mahoney) AND the next Steve Young (Dungey)

 

[scottynguyen]

I'm still surprised he's not in the freakin' hospital.

Is it so hard for to people to believe in our info, but buy what this guy is saying? lol

 

[CUSU]

Thats what I was trying to elude to, why would he say.. Because the poster I responded to acted as though he would say.

 

[orange_in_VA]

What Jek is saying is true. The whole premise of this thread is that Dungey has been cleared to practice. That is not the case. End of story.

 

[OrangeinBoston]

100% shocked by this. I hope he can play but unless he is 100% I don't want him to play for his safety.
We can't run option against LSU with the QB taking hits. Use wildcat with Strickland or Estime but not Dungey.
If he is cleared to play I would spread LSU out and dink and dunk if we can.

If he has a concussion, he is likely to sit. If he doesn't he will play. If he plays he will execute the playbook. There is no 100% involved in this decision. Either he has a concussion or he doesn't.
