Starting?! He's always been made of glass. He plays extremely aggressive, and doesn't have the frame to make that many hits. He's a great player, just something we have to deal with unfortunately. Playing safety in this system is not for the faint of heart.
I get what you're saying, but it's not always that simple, and they often go hand in hand. For example, we sent a corner blitz at Daniels last week, which are relatively rare in today's game and especially in our system. We used to send Anthony Johnson a lot because he was a gifted open field tackler, but we hadn't done it more than once this season. But our backup safety messed up his assignment and left a receiver wide open for a TD on 3rd down. Instead of forcing a FG and stopping the bleeding, things got a lot more dire. I think we missed Orange and Jones on the DL. We always talk about our linebackers, but we now have significant injuries on the DL in Orange, Jones, and Snyder. Singleton and Petersen are doing a lot of heavy lifting.
My guts says Brahmer is done for the year. No inside info. Trying to read between the lines from CW and Blum pod, Brezina will play but probably isn't 100% the rest of the year. They are great stories, but the small town Iowa LB core has been struggling. A lot of times against RBs like Boyd and Neal, they are being baited by the hesitation and hit the same gap against the run. We have to be more disciplined and trust the guys on the field.
Him and Freyler are always banged up because of their play style. Verdon had a club on in the Tech game and more than likely makes that int in the endzone if he didn't have it.
It’s always insane - it just ebbs and flows between the three major posters. The piss and moaners, the pragmatic and the sunshine pumpers. Depending upon how the season is going, the posts are mostly dominated by the first and third groups.

Agreed. The mood swings are incredible. At 7-0 CMC was a coach of the year candidate and 7-2 we have people debating what his future should be.
and now that they are back to earth can't give football tickets away. and I mean give away. oh well more room for me to enjoy the game Saturday night.
I'm pretty upset with CMC, but anybody saying he should go is delusional. CMC is the best coach this program could possibly field. If CMC leaves then going back to 4-6 win seasons will become the norm again.
you need colo. to lose a game, and WVU not to win out.
Yeah with the amount of injuries we've had on defense you have to have a massive talent differential above your competition to go undefeated. And we obviously do not have that
