So – are you worried Thunder? Disappointed? You’ve been saying he needs to put on weight to be a power back for a while now.
As for me… woo hoo! Everything I’ve heard the last few weeks is going about as well as could be reasonably hoped. It sounds like Isaac has lost a lot of weight, gotten healthy, and earned his way into the top 3 backs at worst. At this point, I wouldn’t be shocked if he started – though I’d still expect Smith and Green to be ahead for now, I no longer feel that strongly about it.
I had my doubts about Isaac, and Drake Harris too and some of those are lingering – but both seem to be applying their talents and on the verge of playing a meaningful role. Which is great news. Maybe Morris can join them to form a trifecta of guys I’ve called overrated because of recruiting hype.
Other preseason opinions that look like they could be wrong:
I was sure one of the freshman DE would play, if not both, but it appears they like RJS and Ojemudia enough to not need another edge guy.
I was of the opinion that Grant Perry wouldn’t do anything meaningful, but the buzz is that he might even start. Sometimes it’s great to be wrong.
