It appears Peoples is good to go this week.

Truth is, nobody will really know until the game starts.

That is why I said it appears he is good to go. Things can change for sure. The longer he is injured the more he emboldens his injury prone perception by NFL people. Hopefully he is healthy now.

I just meant that regardless of how he is health wise, nobody will know if he is going to play until he actually plays. Coaches keep a real light wrap on our player availability.

He is practicing so you would assume that he should be fine to go but that is indeed true. Hopefully he can and will go on Wednesday.

What about Noel? Really need our 1-2 punch to get things on track.

Noel played against Texas State and didn't have any injuries during the game. I would assume he's good as well

[Mjohn1988]

Don’t get me wrong, I want Cam and Nate healthy and playing but if the O line shows up any of our back can get it done

[YesAppCan]

it was Col Mustard, in the study with a candlestick.

Could always count on Col. Mustard in CLUE!

I love Cam Peoples but just don't see him as an NFL'er, at least not getting drafted. Fumbles too much and seems to be injury-prone. Hope I am wrong. Just my .02 cents.

Only ran the ball a few times in 2018 and 2019. He has fumbled the ball 6 times and 4 were recovered by the other team. He has rushed the ball 395 times and fumbled 6 times from what I can find.

good find...I stand corrected. Maybe it's just his injuries that are standing out to me.

Stop with the common sense! And at least one of those was clearly not a fumble...

His biggest flaws going in to the season was injury prone and pass blocking. His pass blocking has improved tremendously.

You can't coach his measureables. A team will take a chance in him in day 3 because of that. His injury history definitely hurts him, but to my understanding, it's the same injury (except for last week) his whole career. He self admittedly didn't take the rehab as serious as he needed to. After the JMU game he realized how crucial it is for him to take it serious.

Last week was just a fluke incident that could not be prevented.

It appears Peoples is good to go this week.

That non-football injury may be flaring up?

The line is back to -9.5

My take on Peoples is he is a back with size, strength, power, and speed. A threat to take it to the house at any time as long as he's healthy. Had he been healthy and no covid strange seasons, maybe he's up there with John Settle as 1 of the best backs in APP uniform, even though he's shared time because of the differences in offenses of the eras.

Like I said, I hope I'm wrong re: NFL potential. Do you think his upright running style makes him more susceptible to injury?

Remember Erik Dickerson? His upright running style seemed just fine in the NFL.

That wasn't his question. It works for others as well. The question was does it make him more susceptible to injury. And the answer is yes, it does.

But Cam wouldn't be as effective if he ran any other way.

Welp..I'll be damned. Peoples is listed as the 9th best RB prospect at least by Pro Football Network (2023 Draft):

Running backs

1) Bijan Robinson, Texas
2) Jahmyr Gibbs, Alabama
3) Tank Bigsby, Auburn
4) Sean Tucker, Syracuse
5) Zach Charbonnet, UCLA
6) Israel Abanikanda, Pittsburgh
7) Zach Evans, Ole Miss
8) Blake Corum, Michigan
9) Camerun Peoples, Appalachian State
10) Deuce Vaughn, Kansas State
