Wow.

That's a big blow.

...

 

[CanadianSU]

Ughhh oh

 

[OrangeAl]

So, he hurt himself playing wide receiver?

 

[Deano]

I guess it's time for Keon Lyn to step-up for him and hope he comes through.

No Lyn either: http://www.syracuse.com/orangefootball/index.ssf/2013/12/syracuse_cornerback_julian_whi_2.html.

 

[GoSU96]

That is a killer.

 

[cuseguy]

Didn't even realize Eskridge was injured. There goes our run support.

Figured some of these guys would heal in a month. Guess not.

So who's left at DB? Reddish, Rishard, Morgan, Desir, Wilkes? Is that it? (assuming we're not burning redshirts in the bowl game).

On the optimistic side, we're down 3 very good DBs for this game, easily 3 of our best 4 overall. But what I listed above isn't the worst secondary in the world. Says a lot about the depth we've built.

Darius Kelly.

I think Jaston George is still around.

It helps that Minny is not a great passing team.

That sucks. He's key to the defense. Any ideas why he isn't playing? I know he didn't play most of the 2nd half vs BC so I assume he got jury but haven't heard what it was and why he'd still be out.

So you're telling me that Eskridge, Whigham and Keon are out ...


Why are things the way that they are.

Big loss. Was the MVP of the D, IMO. There does not seem to be an appreciable difference in CB play with the "next man up" players. But the Safeties...different story. Eskridge is, by far, the best we have.

Darius Kelly.

How could I forget about Kelly. Ok, so 6 bodies with experience. Not the end of the world, but certainly a challenge.

I don't think Jaston George has really seen the field, so his participation is probably about as good as a true freshman.

This does bring up a bit of a concern. After this game Lyn, Wilkes, and Anderson are gone for good. We only have Scissum red shirting that's a DB correct? Imagine if we have a string of injuries next season. Could be a huge concern, and some high school DB's should be salivating over our depth chart

The bad news is Minny is a good running team and Eskridge's strength is run support.

Frightens me to have Wilkes in that role.

Plus, is it feasible to switch some current roster players to DB?
"Iron Hands" Kobena? Devante? Ben Lewis? Kinder?

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Major bummer but the staff has time to figure something out. Glad he travels and stuff.

 

[TexanMark]

At least we made a bowl game...would love to finish 7-6 this doesn't help.

This could be Jaston's best chance to shine.

academic casualty perhaps? when do the fall semester grades come out?

nothing like that. it's still his hand.

 

[Todd Gack]

In light of recent news, I have an idea: Let's score more points.
