As bad as this team is, as lost as this season is, risking his future to try an eek out a few more wins is insane. If it is a minor stress fracture he may need 2-3 weeks to recover, if it is major, he will need to go on IR, and miss the rest of the season.
Am I the only one worried about this? Nolan ruined Smith's shoulder to try and save his job, will Tomsula destroy Hyde to buy some time? Hyde is a special player, he has great potential, but he is injured, and needs to be sat down. Looking at the stable of running backs Baalke has provided, it looks pretty bleak.
Bush, can't take the load, he is to fragile.
Hayne, the blunder from down under, hasn't shown what we had hoped for in his few carries, maybe he will get better, but I think he is not an ever going to become an every down back.
Davis, can't seem to find the hole, "wrong way Davis" just scampers around until he is tackled, he is not going to carry the load.
So, for a run on first down team like ours, Davis carries the rock on first down, We take our shot through the air on second, and Bush is the third down back...I guess.
Hayne is the utility guy, maybe he plays first and second in passing situations....with his questionable blocking skills...Yikes!
Who can we add? Why are we activating another WR, when we might need the roster space, and Kaep can't hit a wide receiver flat on his back....crap, i'm a little panicky here, talk me down!
So, there is my fear, what I predicted to be a bad season, has gone from bad to worse, now this!
Okay, bottomline, we need to add Hyde to the list of things to worry about, so it's:
Keapernick, the O-line, the D-line, and the coaching, and now its our stable of backs!
