It’s like hindsight is 20/20 up in here.
Jontez Williams out for the year
- Thread starter alexssdean12
- Start date
So is Orange out too? I just assume anyone with a stinger will eventually just die.
As far as rotational pieces are concerned, corner is a huge liability. That's the most desirable position offenses want to pick on once the starter is taken out. Corner is the last position you rotate your bench with. While we had a pretty safe lead, I can understand the staff not wanting to give up the big play.
Game prep this week will involve a lot of safety help over the top.

If Heacock continues to mainly run a 3 man front and puts little pressure on the QB and leaves our depleted secondary to fend for themselves, this could get really ugly.
I just can't get angry like some here seem to be. Rather, I feel terrible for Jontez. He was having a great season. He must be devastated
It is what it is. Now some players can get some very valuable experience.

i wonder if thats why we saw more 4 man front. it was successful imo
I think the 3 starting safeties have been Patton, Neal and James, right? Cummings-Coleman first off the bench?
Injuries happen every year, but a single position group devastated for a 2nd year in a row? That's not fair.
This isn't 1983 when one one injury was end of the season for Iowa State.
This is an entirely different program.
Need to stop the "nutcup ready" mentality.

I’m pretty sure Heacock will put this team in its best position to win. I’m not sure our defense has ever been ugly.
I understood the risk of it happening before it did while simultaneously understanding there was 0 reward for leaving him in. Are you unfamiliar with risk/reward analysis?
Heacock will figure out the best way possible to try to compensate. It won't be perfect, but the man managed to get a defense with no linebackers to the big 12 championship game.
It’s not hindsight when many of us were calling to pull them BEFORE it happened. Look up the definition of hindsight
Just pray for 8-4 at this point... 40 pts is the minimum we need to score to win a game if not more. Assuming dom orange is probably done for the year too based on Campbell's postgame comments where he said Jontez could've come back in as well
Well......he can no longer be the best version of himself do to the fact his knee is no longer the best version of itself. And until the knee tissue trusts it's process.....he will not be able to trust his process going forward in regards to the team's ability to be the best version of itself.
Fans were already questioning why Big Citrus was back in after he was dinged up the first time and then he got hurt again. Jontez injury was well after that.
