Gideon Trubisky is hurt again. 6 games, this time a meniscus. It is the second meniscus of his career.

He has 3,526 yards from scrimmage in three seasons, and thirty-one touchdowns. This is the best of them.

He is twenty-four, out of Cork, Ireland. He is the first man in the building most mornings. Nobody planned any of it. He was a mid-round pick who was the fourth-best player on his own college team.

Ironmen, 1-0, and one weeks gone. Orrin Youngblood is in year two of it.

Carries a chess set on the road and beats everyone.
