Chaney Gone

[Ispyin]

biggest hit so far, this one hurts a bit

thanks for everything Don!

Mario should have taken a knee

Story of what coulda been; good luck Don.

**** really wish he would've ended all his time as a Cane

He looked like a future stud and NFL back as a Freshman, and played great this year as well.

But unfortunately I think the injuries clearly hurt his burst, wiggle, and cutting ability. With potentially 3 RBs coming in someone in the RB room or two were going to be odd men out

chaney is solid but with parrish, fletcher, citizen, johnson, riley, wheatley-humphrey, ... and maybe lyle?

that's still a loaded RB room and wouldn't be shocked to see one more leave

 

[Silentobserver]

at this point in time 3 players have announced. Harvey, Flagg, and Chaney

Chaney is the most impactful one to announce thus far and that was my only point - not that it's a huge blow or detrimental

Gotcha, but with Fletcher as the starter (hopefully CJ sees the path to more carries next year as the depth chart clears up) and Riley entering the fold along with hopefully 1 other RB to add to Allen and Parrish; I think the RB room will be fine.

I'm not going to worry about losing Chaney when he's barely played in 3 seasons due to injuries.

 

[Canesfan1899]

Well **** I'd take Citizen over him honestly if it meant citizen staying

Really?! I like citizen as a prospect but dudes never had a carry in a game.

Good luck Don. Thx for your hard work for us

Seemed after the GT fumble seemed like he was in the doghouse. Unfair imo he def seemed like the most upsided rb

Ya I agree

 

[ageezy]

always felt he was our best back, body just couldn't hold up, best of luck, prefer he leaves florida tho

 

[sharkindaawater]

Really?! I like citizen as a prospect but dudes never had a carry in a game.

Ya that's also true. I mean I don't want to lose don. He was my favorite back and thought he wasn't used as much as we should have

Don’t think he was even in shape. That fsu game was his to carry the rock and he was gassed.

He did look a little thick but could have used him more in red zone

 

[AmherstCane]

Best back on the team to pick up 3-4 tough yards IMO.

 

[FuriousStyles]

When you’re a 4th year guy losing reps to a true freshman you see the writing on the wall… see Harvey and Flagg.

We recruited well. And those recruits are producing

 

[GojiraCane]

Who are the players on the 2023 roster with no eligibility left?

 

[TOcane]

Guy was tearing up the FSU Defense until he limped off unfortunately.

 

[TheUInsider]

Good luck 2

 

[PRcane787]

This one kinda stings. Good kid, been through a lot here. Glad he got his stock up before leaving. Best of luck!

 

[skeeter]

****. Thought Don had more potential than what we ultimately saw out of him. Hope he's able to show out wherever he ends up.

Injuries

Freshman Chaney was an animal...

And will never forget his performances against Clem and FSU this year. year. Would have welcomed him back for 5-8 carries next year. But his vision was always average and when the top end and cutting ability regressed after injuries, you were basically left with a power back. Good…But not good enough to be anything more than a rotational back.

Someone said fsu?
