Archer Day to Day....


So the word out of Kent is that Archer is day to day.  I wouldn't expect a large amount of quality information to come out about this.  Preparing for Archer and non-Archer are two completely different things, and I am sure even if they thought Archer was out for sure, we would not know that until game time or even during the game.

A few thoughts...

  • Obviously, they are not as good a team without him.
  • At the same time, he is not Jim Brown.  We should be able to win the game even if he is at 100%.
  • Additionally, it is worth keeping in mind that even if he plays he might not be 100% and for his style of play, an ankle is a huge issue.  It impacts the ability to cut and also durability.
  • They are saying twisted...originally it was a sprain.  These are word games, though I would not expect him back from a true sprain.

Bottom line, we have to prepare to face him...and with him at anything other than 100% they are easier to beat than if he is at 100%.  Anybody would be.
