Opt outs?

[COUGinNCW]

It seems there have been few if any sightings of a few defensive linemen. Hobbs,McDougle, Crowder..... Anone else on the squad appear to be MIA by those of you that study the practice highlight film?

Hurt, Quarantine, Opt Outs, 4th string.......?

I doubt we find out before November 7.

I heard somewhere that Calvin and Jackson were looking good in camp at outside receivers, but they didn't have any stats in the scrimmage. Woods didn't have any stats either at lb. Maybe some of the veterans were held out to let younger players develop. I do think some of the players have opted out as well.

COVID opt outs are not typically kept on the down low. If players declare that they're opting out, programs are issuing announcements.

I had all but forgotten about the opt-out thing.

I don't mean to get this going again, but knowing what we know about who gets COVID and the ramifications of those who actually do contract it, especially for this age group, I just don't get it. The safeguards are there, the testing is there now, and across the nation we have yet to see or hear about any one of these kids OR the staff become seriously ill. Or even show symptoms.

But I digress...

When is the next scrimmage? At first I though maybe Nick ran the last scrimmage for mostly young players. Unfortunately, I am thinking there are a large group of players not playing because they are part of that united group. This next scrimmage hopefully brings some clarity?
Even better would be an announcement by the head coach.

the silence from those in the know in this group is deafening.

I can say its not 1. Covid, 2. Opt Out. 3. The players united group.

1. Covid. If a player gets covid, the word gets out.

2.If a player opts out, the word gets out.

It might be theoretically possible for 1,2, etc, to not get the word out, but 3,4+ no way does the word not get out.

3. Dallas Hobbs, and the other Players United group members are going to play because the word got out(And I read about that on either the internet, twitter, the news, etc).

If they werent going to play, the word would get out. And again while the word might not get out for 1,2, the word would get out fkr 3,4+

So what happened to those players?

I dont know, but I would guess the standard range of things from injuries, discipline, wanting to hold players out to protect them, grades, etc.

It also might be a error, oversight in the stat keeping.

I could have sworn that I read somewhere(forget where), but thought it was either videos, or interviews of, from coaches, players, talking about how good Mc Dougle, Hobbs, Willie, Travion Brown, Woods, Tyrese Ross, Isom, etc, were doing.

I'm not worried. There is still more practice, another scrimmage coming up,

If nothing is heard by the time after the 2nd Scrimmage, then I might probably be worried.

But now, I'm not worried or that worried.

Would be nice to hear something about, on this.
