Jontez Williams out for the year

So we have decent corners left? Make adjustments. You can ***** and moan (you’ve done an excellent job of that) or you can do what good coaches/leaders do; move on and work with what you have. I’m sure it matters more to the players than the fans.
Come on folks. 3 minutes left in the game he shouldn't have been there. That's a fair criticism. He likely would have hurt it eventually either way unless it was just a freak accident so no it's not fair to say if he wasn't in there he never gets hurt.
Hey...we don't have time around here for measured well-thought-out logical points that are entirely fair, but effectively critical.
This is the Cyclone Fanatic board!
If your best argument is that I’m “******** and moaning” (yet another logical fallacy in a thread full of them) that’s not a real great supporter of your argument.
No f*cking duh the staff will move on and work with what they have. Thats their single reasonable option. The point is it’s not an option that they needed to force upon themselves. I’m not a staff member; it’s not my job to stop “b*tching and moaning.”
Pointing out entirely preventable flaws made by some of the highest paid employees in the state is quite reasonable and only fandom blinds one from seeing that.
Something, something, something, about the starters needing game experience to "build chemistry" instead of playing the backups.
Oh sorry, that's basketball.
It is so easy to be Monday morning quarterback. My personality is to be a little bit of a worrier, but one thing I don’t do is dwell on the past. Next man up. I’m glad Taylor and Bell have gotten significant snaps. Both have shown they are capable. It sucks to lose Copper and Williams, but the fact is we can’t change it. Time to see what guys like Beni and Coffey offer as backups.
tough break for the defense, but we sill have the Professor to make it work.
Lol, I had a feeling you already posted something similar to this before I even read all the replies.
They ran a 4 man front quite a bit Saturday
It was Verdon most of the time when I was paying attention.
Is losing an NFL caliber corner a bad thing? Yes, yes it is. But someone is going to play corner, and it doesn't mean suddenly they will be giving up 45 ppg.
And I DO trust the Professor to figure it out. He had 3 guys from Pissant Parish, IA starting at LB last year at times, and he found a way to make chicken salad out of chicken ****.
What it DOES do is put more pressure on the offense, imho. Combined with kicker issues, I think Mouser is going to be allowed to be even more aggressive. That will probably bite them in the ass a game or two, but it also will likely allow them to win a game that maybe you didn't think they would.
Rocco running late/being in at all was strange. Broadcast crew was calling it out. Count me in the camp of being perplexed by that, Jontez and Orange but it's water under the bridge.
This team really knows how to pile up injuries all in one position. Sounds like there are some athletic guys that they can throw out there. Hopefully we are not burned several times on Saturday. Rocco and the offense might need to score 35 this week.
Perhaps they did an MRI and it was worse than anticipated? Not sure why you think anyone has to be called full of ****.
Cool.
No fear, in 6 weeks you can get back to losing your mind about ISU top 8 basketball players getting the same amount of minutes in a bye game as a bunch of other P6 conference teams.
And before that, things were really in the air for the program in general after the last Jacob Park, uh, 'game'.
That's not to say things will be this huge in this situation, but it's a long season.
You don't need to address this stuff directly Blum. Impossible to please everyone. Thanks for your good work.
