Hopefully a knee bruise like EC'S against Richmond.

Just saw that he’ll be back next week. Might have dodged a bullet. Great Rhody crowd today at Harvard. We all cheered as they made their way through the tunnel after tbe Win. Defense was great.

Bill Koch with the postgame write up.
The guys sound very confident.

So glad Jajuan will be okay.
We obviously need him, but it was nice to see the defense get us a win.

I am definitely enjoying this season. Great win - the defense was terrific and knowing that both sides of the ball can win a game sets this up for a special year. There are a number of things that I don't like about Fleming as a coach. But I am hoping for a special year - playoffs are a real possibility. I hope they get it done and Fleming gets a new contract. There will still be a number of things I still won't like about him. But he will have earned his keep and I will continue to root for the Rams?

What are some of the things you dont like about Fleming?
Lawson is kinda making it hard to find too many faults.
The defense has been great except for when David Pindell scrambles.

I just worry if we will be able to do anything next year when Lawson is gone and if we can keep guys like Aaron Parker and Coulter.

Good to know you are still here Uncle Ed especially since you have been a regular poster in URI Football during the many lean years.

Anybody see an announcement from the school about Lawson's injury?

The rumor at the game last night was that it was an ACL.

Where was it seen "that he'll be back next week" as stated by rhodymob05?

My issues with Fleming are primarily his coaching. I had no problem with his hire , though I wanted an offensive coach. I have no problem with his first year. The kids worked hard, gave it their all and never quit. But in years 2-4 I saw a team that made dumb mistakes, too many penalties, too many turnovers, predictable play calling, poor time management, lack of discipline, etc. These teams won 1, 2, and 3 games respectively. They had the talent to win double these numbers. The talent on the team improved but their performance did not. They never overachieved. I don't like that Fleming hired his son as offensive coordinator when he was not qualified. I especially don't like how he treated his graduating players who decided that transferring to a FBS school was in their best interest. All of these things - except for how he treated Catalina, Steinmetz, and Boyd - are petty nick pickings of a longtime Rhody alum and fan that will be washed away by a succesful season - and that is fair. Go Rhody!

Lawson has MCL tear - out 4-5 weeks. Outside of Stonybrook they still have 3 home games they can win in the next 4 weeks. Brown, Maine, William and Mary. Best wishes to JuJuan.

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 5 years ago

Really a shame. This team would easily win those 3 games with Lawson....now it's going to be a struggle and the defense will have to step up big time.

This was their chance to win 7 or 8 games.....not likely now, unless Lawson heals quicker than expected.

The offense will be much more conservative in order to avoid turnovers, I would think. Crap.

Has that been made public anywhere? I haven’t seen anything from the school.

Hal Kopp · Unread post by **Hal Kopp** » 5 years ago

Heard same as Ed,except different time frame.
I would circle Stony Brook game.
They can beat Brown with Harris at QB and Vito (if plays better).
They can beat Maine if play well and way UMaine played Sat..
Vito did not play well,but:
The line did not block for Vito and WR's dropped passes.
If not for another stupid penalty for roughness on OG they would have put game away earlier or maybe scored.

RhowdyRam02 · Unread post by **RhowdyRam02** » 5 years ago

Keep in mind that Maine was playing their backup (a guy who originally committed to us and decommited to go to Maine) Saturday. If it's a battle of the backups in two weeks we have a shot. If their starter is back (and it sounds like he will be) then it's a really tall order

Bos8 · Unread post by **Bos8** » 5 years ago

Who starts at QB this week? I was not impressed with Vito at all. From the outside looking in, I feel like Harris would be the choice. He has the experience edge, and didn't look awful last year. He could make all the throws and get the ball to the play makers. He doesn't have the dual threat capabilities of our other QBs and he was way to turnover prone last season. Will be interesting to see what the coaching staff decides. At the end of the day, they are in practice and the meetings with these guys so I trust that they know best!

bigappleram · Unread post by **bigappleram** » 5 years ago

Agree with Bos8, didn’t seem like Priore had the arm strength to make the throws downfield and with our WRs being our biggest strength that really hurts us.

Hal Kopp · Unread post by **Hal Kopp** » 5 years ago

Harris certainly can. He is in the mix.
Bet a donation ,either he starts or plays if Vito struggles.
Harris was FBS playa. Beauvais NFL prospect.
They should toy with people the next few games.
Don't let these two off the hook.

Ramulous · Unread post by **Ramulous** » 5 years ago

Hal

I disagree with your methodology of putting our players on the hook..let's root for them to perform to the best of their abilities....they are kids..put the coaches on the hook....

Hal Kopp · Unread post by **Hal Kopp** » 5 years ago

Ramulous-better way to put it,if not Rhody is cooked then.

Hal Kopp · Unread post by **Hal Kopp** » 5 years ago

Ramulous-you are right about the coaches.
It is a shame if Harris and Beauvais are not ready.
The coaches should be accountable.

Yea I haven't heard anything either. Is this confirmed?

Will Geoghegan also has the quote from Coach from the Media conference.

bigappleram · Unread post by **bigappleram** » 5 years ago

Pretty wide range here - some say MCL and out 4-6 weeks, and this says day-to-day.

Unread post by **ATPTourFan** » 5 years ago

Hard to see how the coach’s description of the issue matches the MCL tear news. Maybe he is just doing his best to delay opponents from preparing for a different quarterback next game.

PeterRamTime · Unread post by **PeterRamTime** » 5 years ago

It's really sounding like hes not going to be out for a month or so.
I dont think it's too common for a coach to say "well hes dsy to day and hopefully we can get him rolling later in the week"

When he knows that he'll actually be out for a month.

Its sounding like maybe they'll just sit him for the Brown game, hope to have him ready for Maine.

I'm hoping we will start Harris. He should be able to understand how to use all these receivers.

Rhodymob05 · Unread post by **Rhodymob05** » 5 years ago

I think there's too big a difference between day to day and over a month, even if Coach wanted to throw people off. Sounds encouraging to me.

Ramulous · Unread post by **Ramulous** » 5 years ago

I take nothing from that statement...one way or the other......I don't believe there is a requirement of an injury report at this level of football....therefore it is strategically best to be as vague as possible....keep everyone guessing.....we couldn't even get video from Harvard before the game.....why give anyone info....

That being said......we are all day-to-day......

rhodyfan3 · Unread post by **rhodyfan3** » 5 years ago

I don’t know much about Priore. I don’t want to judge him solely off of his performance at Harvard either. Coming in at half, star player injured, on the road against a good team...lots of factors.
With that said, my gut tells me you might want to go with Harris. He has lots of game experience, a great arm (yes inaccurate last year, but the strength is there), and a senior guy.
It’ll be interesting to see. I think our defense, with our running attack, should be enough to beat Brown at home. But it’ll be close. Rivalry game, you just never know.

eli#10 · Unread post by **eli#10** » 5 years ago

Brown's defense is probably not as strong as Harvard's but let's not forget that our running game was AWOL against Harvard.

PeterRamTime · Unread post by **PeterRamTime** » 5 years ago

With our receivers you dont have to be that accurate either.
They should be plenty open against Brown.

Peter-spot on-Rhody has pro football prospects who have yet to do anything.
Step up !!

Well I'd say Jajuan, Parker and Coulter have certainly stepped up.
Not convinced about Beauvais. He may lack the speed to be an NFL guy.
Either way the offensive talent is pretty abundant.
