Not feeling good at all on The Chan Jones situation

[SmilinBob]

I feel bad for Jones as he's worked hard to get where he is and I hope this isn't serious.

like said before...Brtandon Sharpe is next in line...

I understand that, but we're going to need 4 DEs ready to play. Rahme thought well of Robinson this preseason, so if Chandler is out, he's going to have to step up and be ready to see the field this year.

You can bet the injury that happened during his brother's senior year is going to influence Chandler's decision on how long he stays. I've always assumed we were going to get one more year max from him.

Out 6-8 weeks puts out at a minimum 10/15 or maximum 10/26. That means he misses:

9/10 Rhode Island
9/17 USC
9/24 Toledo
10/1 Rutgers
10/8 Tulane
10/15 (Bye-Week)
10/21 West Virginia
10/29 Louisville

thats true

If he's out, I see Ball and Sharpe platooning it, Ball for rushing downs, Sharpe for passing downs.

Agreed. Everyone else just moves up in the pecking order.

A kid like Robinson moves into the #4 slot now, ready or not [not intended as a knock of his long term potential--just reflective of his current level of inexperience].

I'm hoping everyone is somehow mistaken and Chan is ok, but that seems like pure fantasy at this point.

Sharpe is fast, plays well and has a lot of experience. Ball is solid with experience. MM is solid obviously. Hoping that Micah Robinson can step in when needed and add quality play.

 

[CaliCuse]

Knee issue... played on it Thursday after injuring it, could have made it much worse, cant blame him as this is what competitors do.

I would be surprised is its anything less than 6-8 weeks if or out for season...

I think that would have been headline news for him to be out that long. That would be a killer injury for our defense.:bang:

Micah or Donnie Simmons to make up for the speed factor on the edge. I'd love for a kid to make himself known to the fans with a killer performance. e.g. multi sacks this and next weekend.

There's no way Donnie Simmons is going to play. He's not ready.

I kept saying to myself later in the Wake game, where is Chan? It seemed highly unusual he was on the sidelines during some key situations. Gotta say, this one highly disturbs me if he is injured, not because I don't think we'll be able to aptly replace him, but because he's a great kid who works extremely hard. Always feel for kids like that.
