They're in trouble if NC State gets good QB play.

 

[cusefan88]

How are Cisco and Mel still hurt!? It seems like they were going to be good to go!

we got lucky last year with injuries, this year not lucky whatsoever. NC State is pretty bad but without all of those guys we have a problem.

 

[cuseguy]

Babers has been off about a month on his projected return for Williams. At this point, I’d redshirt him. They might want to also think about redshirting the other three as well.

 

[JeremyCuse]

If all those guys are still out, that's a bad sign most of these injuries are long term/season ending and were going to be hurting in a major way in the secondary less the oline.

Mali already used his redshirt.

This is reaching Desko levels of projection. (Some will get this).

Injuries won’t matter all that much if we lose the next two.

Hes talking about Mckinley

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Hes talking about Mckinley

He said redshirt the other three as well.

 

[JeremyCuse]

He said redshirt the other three as well.

Ya that part got cut off on my phone but ya as you noted thats not an option for Melifonwu or Heckel either I think.

 

[Trueblue25]

Enter Cornelius Nunn

Good call on Heckel. Isn't he one of the handful of guys that was coached for a year under the previous staff? Not many of them left.

 

[cuse10]

Goes without saying. Winner of that game has the inside track to a bowl game.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Good call on Heckel. Isn't he one of the handful of guys that was coached for a year under the previous staff? Not many of them left.

I think he RS Babers first year, hes listed as a R JR and appears to have redshirted in 2016.

 

[cuseguy]

Enter Cornelius Nunn

Has Nunn dressed yet for a game?

Wasn’t Mel out last year with an injury? Talented kid, but seems injury prone.

 

[AAM62]

he's usually pretty honest about injuries so I don't think this is gamesmanship. That blows the big one.

 

[JeremyCuse]

I think he was a little slowed early but he ended up seeing a good amount of time as the season went on. I don't think any of the four guys are overly injury pronned but with HIPAA and coaches not wanting to give up any edge (perceived or not) its clear these injuries, at least the ones to Heckel and Bear are more significant then was let on. I mean the team has had Williams near ready to play for about a month now, clearly he wasn't close. Hopefully Cisco and Melifnowu just need another week because if there our for a month + were in disastrous trouble.

 

[cuseguy]

The Elmore experiment at DT should have been an indication that Williams was out long term.

 

[cusefan88]

If McKinley can get back for the last three of the regular season that would be great.
