Brief Injury Updates

Dustin Doe, Ryan Stamper, Jim Tartt, Emmanuel Moody, and Maurice Gilbert are all injured. Doe is out for two weeks with a double hernia, while Moody is also out for two weeks with a sprained ankle. Tartt's reaggravated a shoulder injury and is basically playing on a week to week basis at this point. Stamper is questionable for this week's game because of an ankle sprain.

Honestly, only Moody's injury concerns me, and that's because he'd just gotten into the flow of the offense. I've never been that high on Doe, and neither Tartt nor Gilbert's made much of an impact on the offensive line. Stamper's done well this year, but if he's hurt, Brandon Hicks--who I happen to like-- can step in; he lacks Stamper's versatility, but Hicks seems like a better OLB. The only thing I can say for Moody's injury--besides that I hope he gets well soon--is that I hope Meyer and Mullen get another tailback involved. Personally, I'd like to see Rainey, James, and Demps getting touches on options and flare passes out of the backfield. Anything to spread out Arkansas' defense and get the ball to other playmakers besides Harvin. Two people shouldn't carry a team, not when we've got other talented guys who can help out.
