SMU Schedule Leaves Plenty of Off-Time

[Stallion]

actually I would rather have a couple of 5 game layoffs than 7 game layoffs too. But at least its not like the December Finals layoff or Christmas layoffs where there are more distractions-Larry should be able to get in some quality practices

A little time off is fine, but it seems a excessive. I'd prefer a couple of games a week and I think Larry might, too.

Only real benefit is rest for Nic's injury, if he needs it.

I generally think blaming a loss on a quick turnaround or a long layoff is pointless; too many teams deal with both of them just fine.

If it were up to Larry you wouldn't play games you would just practice.

Actually, that is not true and an abdurd blanket statement....it is a classic post hoc referendum. When a team w a long layoff wins, it is often attributed to rest and when they lose, to rust. There are countless examples of teams w long layoffs pulling upsets just as there are examples to fit ur narrative.

The bottom line is considering the circumstances, every day of rest helps. Our entire offense essentially runs through one player and he is dinged...we need him as healthy as possible to have the best chance to win.

Ok, how's this? Neither our players nor staff prefer long layoffs between games. This is the time of year you want to get on a roll, not wait a week between games. Nic is a PG w/a bum ankle. That's not healing this season, no matter how long we take between games.

That's simply ludacris. The notion that an injured ankle wouldn't feel substantially better after a layoff is laughable.

It will feel better, but if it is high ankle it isn't really going to get better without a few weeks completely off of it. It will slow him down the rest of the year.

A.) Yes, I have played plenty. I'm not gonna be that message board self promoter guy, but I have played athletics at high levels. I understand ankle injuries first hand and can tell you that if u don't think every day off of it helps, then it is more likely that u haven't played.

B.) I don't know Nic Moore, so I can't ask him.

you make a lot of subjective comments and present them objectively; it makes you look foolish.

If it's a high ankle he wouldn't be playing tonight...or for the next month for that matter.

Blah...Nic's ankle isn't healing till the end if the season, ask him. He's been hobbled much of the year and end of last. As for lay offs, I've given you both my take and how the staff/players feel. Keep arguing though
