Life without Hicks & Gray - Adams vs Cotcher (4-18)

[Matt Cotcher]

In this week's Taking Sides, we debate whether or not it's helpful to have players out during spring practices. 

Let us know what you think....

I guess by Adam 's logic we should hope ALL our starters get hurt and miss spring ball.

 

[Lukus Alderman]

Injuries are a bad thing, period. It slows down the progress of the player and hurts team chemistry due to absence.

However, if an injury is going to occur, the Spring is the best time.

 

[BudreauReye]

There is no debate here.  Both guys are out and may be out longer than any of us would like.  Achilles tendon injuries are notorious for being slow healing injuries.  Let's hope that they both heal quickly and are able to return with some semblance of their former ability, hopefully sooner rather than later.  In the meantime get the rest of the guys ready.  They gotta step up, now!

 

[Aaron Carrara]

I'm particularly glad Swoopes will be getting a fair amount of snaps in the Spring Game because he needs them. With that said, David Ash under center this year gives us our best chance at winning.

actually, imo, both arguments place an equal share upon merit.  please remember gents, that whenever this particular argument shall come forth...  it is all about the proven credentials vs experience factor's, as per the head coach.

a good head coach, is usually aware of such a scenario.  upon today's gridiron mindset (the aforementioned scenario is even anticipated) hence "the pit".  however, the "depth" factor is always a necessity during heightened matches vs the playoffs.
