My takeaway from your confidence intervals is that every single one of our rushers is equally great.

Thank you for putting science behind this.
There hasn't been enough info from just this one game for anyone to say confidently who is better or worse. But this can't reflect important things like pad level, Yds After Contact, "always falls forward," etc. This doesn't care if a guy is strong or fast or shifty, just the resulting yards. It's assumed that each carry had roughly the same performance by the OL.

I could potentially look at entire careers to date, but I do have real work to do...

Haha no worries; this is an excellent site to scrape data by game and then simply do a little work to pull out the player of note.

That’s funny. They aren’t going to say anything other than maybe “day to day”.

Remsburg and Norton might both be “day to day” the rest of the year, who knows? CMC doesn’t usually let anyone know what’s really going on…. which is fine.
MC "day to day" lingo = enigma code for day after tomorrow, or, some day next year, or anything in between. :)
I said it in the other thread... "day to day" for the CMC staff means "RIP"
Or this! LOL
Cartman is a tough guy to get on the ground. He looked outstanding. Brock looked great as well.
I think you mispelled his name!

Is it a big cart? I like it!

Midway through the second half of last season, I began theorizing it would likely be Sanders by midway this season. Once CN joined and began popping in the off-season, I switched my pick up. I’ll now return to Sanders based on my perception of his skill set and the hammy situation but I have to admit I was quite impressed with JB, for the first time, in the 2nd half yesterday. I’d love to see him seize it.
Jirehl Brock, I sincerely apologize.

Injury update on Car Norton? I am sure interested to see more of him.
I know nothing concretely, but even if he's 75-80%, do you want him to play in this game vs Ohio? If he's anywhere close to ready, I'd rather just continue to rest him until conference play starts next week. Brock, Sanders, and Silas should be able to handle Ohio.

The fumble really wasn't his fault either yeah? TV was hot trash for me today but I thought Rus knocked it out

Gotta secure the ball. Whether it's a defender knocking it out or your own teammate, it is your fault. About the only no fault fumble is if a defender hits it square with his helmet.

That said, every RB is going to fumble sometimes.

Campbell said in his press conference that he's improving, but I seriously doubt he'll play against Ohio. At this point I wouldn't be surprised at all if he ends up being used in 4 total games to keep a redshirt. I also don't think that was the plan going into the season (since he was the second back in in the first game).

If its a hamstring i don't think any percentage under100% works. His ability is quickness and burst and hamstrings take a long time to heal. Someone earlier in the thread said to let him heal and wait until the last 3games and bring him back so you get him 4 games of experience and his clock hasn't started - sounds like good advice to me. If he heals completely in another 2 or 3 weeks then maybe bring him back earlier if he is the difference maker that he appears to be.

I'd much rather hold him out until he's 100%

A hamstring is a nagging injury. I don't want him to play until he's 100%.
