Trying to temper expectations, I think....He’s been really down since the Toure injury.

Close to the best on injuries and depth chart. Gave Howard coaches and players much respect.
Akron plays Ohio State first. They will be beaten up.I didn’t like the sound of what he alluded to on the OL. It shouldn’t matter for Howard, but Akron plays D.
Hard to tell. Maybe Greg is trying to dampen the noise and fan expectations of this being 2006 again. He beat the drum hard that Mo Toure is our best player.Is it just me or does it seem we’re always dinged up post camp much more than most teams.

Every year the same thing. It’s been happening for years .Is it just me or does it seem we’re always dinged up post camp much more than most teams.
We don’t know for sure, but I sensed that it could be more about the OL than the D. Toure is a huge loss but it sounds like our OL could be pretty banged up too.He'd previously said (following the Toure injury) that it's good we have the depth available and those young guys will see playing time. I do not doubt that is true here as well as in other position groups. This does give young talent the opportunity to get real in-game experience and he's got to know (much like, in every other year) it's good to get those young guys into games early. Depending on just how good that depth and that young talent is, some of those guys might surprise and be ready for a move up the depth chart.
If he really is down about anything, it would be a realization that we DON'T have that depth (or have that depth ready to play) - and, that would be on him and the coaching staff. We have more depth available now than ever before. I can't see how this is actually a concern, other than the unknown of "just how will they do when faced with real, in-game competition?".
