The thing where people are acting like you can't prevent injuries or avoid all risk are correct. But... When you already lost your other star within the same position group for the season, you should be a little more conservative with jontez when you can. And we were absolutely in a position where we could have been playing his backup in that spot.
Jontez Williams out for the year
- Thread starter alexssdean12
- Start date
Next man up at this point. I trust Heacock to find a way to scheme around the injuries.
I agree but with an ACL it was likely already weak or near injury. Only a matter of time.
Intentional ignorance is about as stupid as saying this injury was 100% avoidable/preventable
This is a real easy hindsight type take, but had Tez not gotten hurt, nobody is saying anything about it most likely
And in the 5th game of the year, game reps are invaluable, so thats a ******** take on your end there as well
I think comparisons to last season’s team are interesting because it can be spun both ways. Yes, for the most part Heacock worked wonders, and at least there are backup CBs with experience, whereas Iowa State was eventually down to less-talented LBs who also had never played. But if Becht doesn’t pull off the drive against UCF they could’ve had a three game losing streak, all to teams with good run-games…
I’m not yet sure how I think this injury will affect the team, I’ll just say the ASU and TCU games will now be steep, steep uphill battles. (Yes, the TCU game was going to be difficult either way, but I still felt pretty good about it before today.) good QBs and WRs, it will just be a matter of if ISU can weather the punches and scrape by

Many of us know nothing so maybe our opinions don’t matter one tiny bit. Jesus. WE ARE NOT COACHES.
Now maybe there was discussions among the actual ******* coaches on if they should remove the starters sooner. If so, I expect they will figure out if something went wrong.
But I don’t give a flying **** what some idiot like me or you think. I also don’t give a **** what members of the media think. If we all know best, we should all be coaching.
It was 100% avoidable if he’s not in the game at that point. It’s not hindsight. I wanted the starters pulled BEFORE he got hurt. Like many others were saying too.
If Jontez doesn’t get hurt I would be saying we dodged a bullet. Which is what I was saying when I heard his injury wasn’t serious.
A first-team CB starting his 17th game and playing in his 19th doesn’t need 8-20 more snaps at the end of a blowout. That is ridiculous
I’m shocked you aren’t a coach.
I’m saying that you are not a coach and the fact that you were apparently shouting from the stands to get the starters out before the injury is ********.
Eisworth, Freyler, Verdon, Cooper and Williams.
It’s just really frustrating what’s happened to the large majority of our star players back there. They don’t stay healthy.

Since you mentioned managing people at your job I'm genuinely curious.
Do you believe there is a limit to the experience your staff can accrue by continuing to do their required job? Do they eventually stop improving once they have hit their individual experience "limit"?
I kinda want to see a large scale of how many injuries teams have on average.
I look at an Iowa for example. They had Dejean suffer that injury, but otherwise I can’t recall them ever having this slew of injuries?
They have an injury here and there like anyone else, but aren’t just getting positional groups ravaged like this. Someone can correct me though if I’m wrong.
Do you stop assigning them work once they are good at their job for fear they’ll leave your company?
