Ty-Dye is back in style
Running back Tyshon Dye feels like he is close to being ready for the season, telling TigerNet he finally feels like himself again. What does he say about the other running backs? Full Story » |

I hope this young man has a break out season. To go through what he has and fight back, it's time for thing to go his way for a change. Would love to see him rush for over a K.

Going to be great with all these backs - truly a next man up situation not sure how you platoon 4 or more backs - but we need to utilize this "fleet" to the fullest.
I've been waiting to see Dye at his potential for a long time... can't wait!

We have players who quit and players who don't seem to know

Hope he makes it up the depth chart before the season
Aug 19, 2015, 9:14 AM

starts. He is clearly busting his tail but last I remember Elliott was putting him near or at the bottom of the chart. He should be the #2 back competing with Gallman every game for the #1 spot. That would be a great situation for us.
Isn't 213 a little on the light side?

Take Advantage of RB Depth
Aug 19, 2015, 4:02 PM
|
|
Dabo et.al., seems to play their No.1 players at each position most of the game and substitutes sparingly. I hope that Elliott/Scott/Swinney will keep the No.1 back in the game about 40% of the time and play the No.2, No.3, & No.4 RBs the rest of the time. This would accomplish a couple of things...
1) Imagine Gallman, Dye, and other backs running with fresh legs against tired defenses in the 4th quarter; and
2) If No. 1 or No. 2 RB gets hurt, it would be nice to know that the backups have significant real game experience.
There's upsides and downsides to every approach, but we do have the luxury of depth at RB with relatively little drop off between the No. 1 RB and the No.4 RB. I hope that we use this to our advantage.

You need as much immediate treatment that you can get. Don't make things worse.

His back will always give him problems. I think he can be a good player just not the type player he could have been.

Yea that is terrible if his back is what is still lingering. That will cause him pain his whole life and its not an easy fix. I just hate to hear that for him. I am sure he will see great doctors who will go over treatment options as a lot of pain can be Psychological.

Once you have had back surgery, you will have a friend for life and pain will be part of the equation. I had back surgery in 1977 and haven't looked back. I still work out at the gym, just don't deadlift 500# anymore. It will depend on his pain threshold. Good luck to the young man. Don't worry, your back will let you know when you have had enough. Anyone with a bad back can relate to this.

Maybe motivation but he's 4th, 5th, maybe even 6th in right now depending on brooks and choice's progression.

My point with my earlier post. Elliott not high on him yet.

I think Elliott is probably trying to motivate Dye but he has made enough mistakes in practices and scrimmages that last I remember reading Elliott was saying he was the bottom of the chart. He's got work to do.

I remember Frank Howard would use this a lot -if you were a starter and had a bad game or loafed in practice, you found yourself on 4th team. Amazing what that did for attitudes.

A little worried about Dye
Aug 19, 2015, 6:34 PM
|
|
If his back is still giving him problems then obviously he isn't 100%. He's in a tough situation because he has to play well these next few years to have hope in making into the league but in reality he should take a break from football until his back is 100% healed. I hope Dye makes the right decision because this could be a huge problem for him later in life. But to his advantage, he has great doctors at Clemson that will help him through this process
