Jam and Charleston out for the year

Link: Gamecocks lose two safeties for the season

 

[Freddie.B.Cocky]

Dang, that is bad news. I'm sorry for the players and hope they recover soon.

 

[jimnasium]

Rut Ro Reorge

 

[myrtlecock]

Ibe and Harvey still out too. Those guys were supposed to supply some much-needed depth at safety this year. Hasn't worked out. Sucks.

 

[Noonoo-33]

I think our offense better be prepared to score as many points as possible. I don’t think defensively we are going to slow anyone down. Don’t know that our offense is capable. That was not exactly a bama or klempson defense we played yesterday. 35 plus points has to be the goal.

 

[sclawman77]

What about Rico and Sterling?

 

[Buddyle]

Is there anyway we get Harvey or Ibe back next year on a medical redshirt

 

[gamecocks247]

Damn, we were already thin in the secondary before the injuries.

 

[Cockish]

D$#!^&!...the offense will need to sustain drives from here on out if we want to keep our secondary from getting torched on every possession by our opponent.

 

[GamecockJL]

I hope Jam can learn WR for next year.

 

[Carolina4]

Sucks.

 

[92Pony]

Well, the one positive to take away is that the D, did its best work on Saturday at the end, in its most depleted state.

 

[psycock]

Do we have any freshmen that are ready, since they can play 4 games and not lose their redshirt? I know 1(Horn) is playing but not sure about the others. Dickerson played so hopefully he can help.

Jamayest is awfully small to be playing a collision-intensive position in the SEC. He also has great heart and I wish him the best.

 

[jimnasium]

It might come down to playing some both ways if this keeps on.

 

[carolinamyke]

Gipson may have to play

He was also first to make a lot of tackles. Gonna miss his nose for the ball.

As for the topic of this thread: certainly a difficult situation for the team and staff, having to patchwork a really thin secondary. Still, we have 7 (I think I counted correctly) secondary guys on scholarship who are available. Next man up.

Now, on to a larger theme of the season: injuries. This team has really struggled to stay healthy. Having seen many of the injuries take place during games, I think its just bad luck/bad timing. I don't think (or at least, I hope it isn't) its recruiting kids with iffy bodies or an iffy S&C program. Maybe we are due for a really healthy season next year.

We are undersized a lot of places on defense. Y'all saw the reflection of this liability against UGA, UK, and A&M. It's just a fact. It has ramifications both in terms of the level of play, but also with respect to injury susceptibility.

Safety has been the worse position on this team all year so I don’t know how much worse it can get. What type of shoulder injury does Jam have now? He was out last year and periodically this year with a shoulder. Same shoulder?

I think we are down to 3 safeties. They'll have to move a CB over.

I read that it was indeed a shoulder injury - and yes, same shoulder.

Same one. Maybe they should consider moving him to WR and protect that shoulder a little more.

Might have to throw a 5th or 6th receiver over there

Can Edwards play both ways? Sorta joking, but he is probably the best DB we have in the WR corps.

 

[HI Cock]

Yeah. We wore down their offense pretty good by the 4th quarter.

I think part of it is when you have to play all out every play of every game, it really takes a toll. Teams like Bama have singular guys that make plays, which sort of spreads out the hit total... that might be an interesting statistic to track.

 

[Jon Snow]

I wouldn't be surprised to see him take 5-7 defensive snaps at some point. The team is nearing the point where it will be necessary.

 

[Athenscock1]

it really hurts when so many injuries strip out one position. One year long ago it happened to the ol and we had to move dl and get them ready to play an SEC toughie the following Saturday. Holtz's first year I think.

 

[world famous 3rd base hecklers]

Put Josh Belk in...

That will help him drop some weight quickly...

I hear orange is slimming.

Smith can play DB. Boom said he'd probably start.

 

[Cock-a-Doo]

I'm thinking more Randrecous Davis if this was an actual realistic move we had to make
