Love when people don’t know how to read.  Creates for a great message board conversation

Nope read it just fine. I GET your point and it has merit, but my  point is injuries can happen at ANYTIME. Just different opinions.

The NFL wanted more safer kickoffs and NOT eliminate them. The new kickoff rules you're trying to parade here actually increase kickoff returns. Before the change this year touchback rate was 90+% and now it's down to about 65%. So they're actually getting more kickoff returns this year than last year because of those rule changes. I bet they also change the touchback rule to penalize teams just kicking touchbacks for the 2025 season. 

 

 

Thats exactly what I said?

Sad for Derek. 

[goattalk100]

He’s been making big plays this year so that’s a miss in the secondary. Next man up!

[qaertyisthatdude]

Awful news for that young man.  Wish him a speedy recovery and to come back next year stronger than ever.  As for this season, Barron, Taaffe, Mukuba, McDonald, and Rubell are more than capable of holding down the fort.  I trust Kwiatkowski, Nansen, Gideon, and Joseph to keep this secondary humming.

Pointing out that coaches have to make tough decisions (I.e. better specials teams play coming with higher risk of injury) apparently means I’m terrified of kickoffs. 

The last comment wasn’t directed at you; it was intended for NFL executives.  Sorry if I was unclear.

[jkates]

That hurts. He's talented and physical.

[Alex Butler]

He should get a redshirt right @CJ Vogel since he missed several games already?! Hate this for him, but hoping for a speedy full recovery! Did Makuba get dinged up too? 

[NothinButDaHorns34]

Next man up 🤷🏾‍♂️

[GoHorns1]

I think Derek missed two games because of injuries therefore he only played in 4 games and can redshirt.

[FrancoBevo3.0]

Defense took a big hit there. Bummer

noted, but he won’t need it, was never going to be around that long

Sad for DW and the D will miss him.  Heal up and come back stronger next year.

Looks like Williams took a cheap shot as well on the kick return where he got injured. The Sooner came from the side and Williams was slowing up and just got knocked on his ass, but immediately grabbed for his knee.

He probably hasn’t shown enough to warrant leaving early, but you never know. 
He’s gonna have a long rehab ahead of him before getting ready to play next year. 

[HudGar1922]

is Xavier filsamine just not ready for any snaps or special teams reps?

He needs more experience, next year is his 3rd year probably needs a 4th year

Never going to be here more than 4 is what I meant (he doesn’t need a redshirt year)

Key loss in run support from the safety position … he’s the best on the roster

Jordan Johnson-Rubell will now likely play meaningful reps this season down the stretch 

This goes to show we’re not terribly deep at some spots. We’re getting there but not across the board.

[Evan Andreolli]

He won't be ready for fall camp next year, right?
