Great to hear about Crawford. That kid had worked so hard to come back from injury. I’m happy his latest wasn’t as bad as it looked when it happened. Happy for him.

 

Armstrong gives us another threat out of the backfield that we desperately need. I hope he can be effective right away even though he has missed a lot of time.

no ****! IMO he's a phenomenal player, it really sucks he's had so many injuries.

This is huge. Both are playmakers. I feel it's only a matter of time before Jafar breaks out with a few big plays. Tomorrow night would be perfect to get started on that. ;)

I was thinking how much of a decoy it can be having both those guys out there on the field together. Both are decent blockers and both can catch the ball out of the backfield. We can also mix up some runs and fake patches with either one. I think it could be a benefit to have both out there at the same time. It should open Kmet and Claypool later on down the game.

I keep hearing how great Armstrong is, but haven't seen it in any games. Hopefully, he's not just a practice all star. Due to the weather, I will be surprised if Jones doesn't get most of the carries.

Didn't Armstrong get injured on the second play of the Louisville game and then needed surgery with the Michigan game being the first game where he is supposed to be 100% recovered?

 

Hard to impress folks given that scenario.

He was hyped last year too and rushed the ball 72 times, looking okay. His longest run was 26 yards, but I didn't see anything that made me feel he had "break out" speed. I hope he is a star in the making. We'll see.

He had knee surgery last year too. But your point stands. I often thought he should move back to wr because he’s been injured often in two seasons he’s been at running back. Hopefully this is the turn of good things to come for him.
