Agreed. Gabe Irvin either can’t stay healthy or doesn’t have enough juice to make defenders miss.

Interesting that Sam McKewon wrote this about Dowdell:
“He’s taller than Ervin and may have a better initial burst, although Ervin may be shiftier.”

Every time Ervin shifts though he blows a ligament.

Thanks for sharing. That said, I trust that guy’s player evaluations about as much as I trust a fart after Taco Bell.

Sam is an absolute imbecile. How he still has a job is amazing.

Ervin ain't shifty AT ALL

I watched his hudl tape from his senior year of HS and I’m pretty sure he doesn’t get tackled until 4 minutes in. He’s a big strong back that was fast enough to not get run down very often in HS. He made good cuts to get out of the backfield when the defense had penetration and he hurdled two guys on one play to house a 50+ yard run. If we are getting that version of DD this is probably a more valuable addition to our offense than any WR they bring in. This dude is a stud.

It’s great when he shifts right into the back of his blocker, Sam.

Does anyone think this forces Ervin off the roster?

It’s high time that the backfield becomes a strength of the team in Lincoln again. O-line deserves some blame, but even Fraudst had some semblance of a ground game until Ozigbo graduated. After that basically every handoff was a wasted down.

It could. He could be told "it's an open competition, but based on the way we see this today, we wouldn't expect you to get a lot of carriers going forward." It all depends on whether you think you want to keep him or you don't really need him.

I’d wait to see how he recovers from the injury, have him participate in Spring Ball, assess, evaluate & discuss then. There doesn’t seem to be a compelling reason to cut him - or anyone else - right now.

Is he going to be ready for spring ball? I'm just thinking from his perspective that they just took a back who pretty much 100% redundant with his skillset and if he sticks around and loses a competition in the fall his options are probably squeezed pretty thin

I truly don’t know what his recovery prognosis or timeline is, but the summer portal window gives him more options than he has now, IMO.

PLUS … with “The Simulation” lurking in the background, Spring Ball is probably when critical injuries will happen and thin out an already thin RB room.

Told you...

I didn’t say you were wrong or I was right. I didn’t say I knew anything at all about his recruitment. I only made an observation. If you’d like a trophy of some kind though I can surely arrange that.

That was the best lol. He got super defensive 😂😂😂😂 @lee_carvallo_12
