Graham RB injury?

[Real Sasquatch]

What is the status of Graham's RB who got injured in the Giles game? That will be a huge loss for them. No depth at that position. Also. How is their qb? He got banged up in that game as well. He was visibly struggling and limping around in that 2nd half. Probably should have pulled him. Hear they both may have knee injuries

If anybody cares to know. Found out that both were hurt and Allen the qb is back practicing but will be hampered, Reed the rb is on crutches and I have not heard how long he will be out. If Reed is out for an extended time, Graham needs a running back. Now would be the time to put either Cooke or Allen at RB and have Lester at QB if there ever was a time to do that. Hearns, the backup RB is small and quick but lacks break away speed and the ability to break tackles. Graham had better come up with a plan B before their last few games this season or they may end up 6-4 or 5-5. Hope they come up with a good solution. They still have plenty athletes on the roster. I think Curto could be a hard nosed running back and Gray needs to be targeted more at receiver. QB is trying to force too much to Cooke and not looking at the other guys who are often wide open. Graham needs to get the ball to their athletes in space. I know it sounds cliche, but this is so true for this team.

I haven't heard any info about Jaziere Reed's injury but when watching it live my first thoughts were "ACL or MCL injury". It was one of those freak no-contact injuries. He made one cut and the knee buckled and he didn't seem to be able to put any weight on it. I hope I was wrong. If he can't come back it'll be a huge loss for Graham.. not only as the RB but he's a very important LB as well.

#4 is the second best player and athlete on your team from watching the Glenvar scrimmage and the Bluefield, WV game on the net. If your coach will not put #4 at QB, then he should put him at RB. He's a baller and it was clear from seeing Graham twice. The worst thing that could happen for Graham's coach is the QB getting hurt and having to play #4 at QB which would expose the coaching mistake made with each game they play when he isn't under center.

I told you this earlier. The kid you all have at starting QB is an athlete, not a QB, and he doesn't have the football IQ to lead a team to a state title. Like in the Bluefield game, he will show flashes of running talent and break away plays only to throw a crucial pick 6. You can't win the whole thing with a QB who doesn't have the football IQ to play that position.

Lester at RB is not a bad idea. I believe Allen is the "2nd best athlete" on Graham's team, but I agree that he needs to be getting the ball in space as a receiver, kick returner or a running back. Lester at QB with a healthy Reed is what I would like to see, but it will never happen. I think Graham is trying different guys out at RB at practice these past couple weeks.

Cam Allen and Jaz Reed both out tonight vs Central-Wise. Devin Lester starting at QB & Mike Mason at RB.

Graham up 28-7 in the second quarter. Taymon Cooke with over 200 all purpose yards and 3 touchdowns so far. If graham wants to keep winning games they're gonna have to lean hard on Cooke the rest of the year.

Mason looks like a capable running back. Dalton and Hearn did surprisingly well also. Graham is a little better off at that position than I thought, but Reed will be sorely missed.
I believe that they should keep Lester at QB and when Allen comes back, use him as another offensive weapon and get the ball to him in space. It would also take pressure off of Cooke. The sophomore Isaiah Justice looked pretty good too. He cut his routes short a couple times, however, but he was open a lot. Defensively, I would like to see Graham put Sesco at Defensive End.
