'15 LA OT/DT Jerry Tillery (Notre Dame Early Enrollee)

[ThePiombino]

I feel like Tillery is who we wanted Nix to be.

How? Different techniques, plus Nix was pretty fucking awesome.

Haha. I'm being purposefully controversial and somewhat snarky, and I meant off the field.

Basically I feel like Nix was one of those guys we all agreed was awesome and hilarious, but his antics were never awesome or as hilarious as we wanted it to be. It almost felt a little forced on the fans part at times.

Nix actually seemed like a pretty sensitive, complex kid, but we all wanted him to be the official class clown for ND.

It goes without saying that I'm a huge fan of both players, on and off the field.

Fuck our team rules seriously

 

[IrishLax]

Also, apparently Sheldon Day is questionable for the game with a foot injury. This is going to be a blowout.

So weird, Tillery I feel like would be the last guy I thought would get suspended for violation of team rules.

 

[woolybug25]

Geez... Good thing Jarron is back. Hope he's ready.

No faith.

You would think! Our defensive depth is non-existent now if Sheldon can't play, so expect to get gashed on the run and get blown out. These injuries are fucking comical. I'm honestly wondering if the issue isn't with Longo and is more with the way we practice.

 

[woolybug25]

Sheldon is just questionable. I'm sure he'll play.

 

[bkess8]

Any insight on what happened?

Team Rule #99 (c):
Thou shalt not wear Hillary 2016 merchandise.

 

[NDVirginia19]

Of course, exactly what we needed right now. It must've been something pretty bad to be this lately announced. Thank god for Jarron Jones' health

 

[texbender]

jiminy Christmas! we never get to play with a full deck.
hope offense is ready to put points on the board.

 

[IrishLax]

Sheldon is just questionable. I'm sure he'll play.

Not on field for warmups. I'm sure he'll try to play, but if he has a broken foot or torn plantar fascia or anything "significant" as reported he'll have no strength and be virtually useless.

 

[irishff1014]

We are only playing Ohio state not a big game or anything

Yep... a foot injury for a DL is like the kiss of death. Hard to get leverage with only one good foot.

 

[EuropeanDomer22]

Redfield said the other day he was not alone or something like that. Maybe he was talking about Tillery.

 

[woolybug25]

He was on the field.

Tim Prister
Tim Prister – ‏@timprister

. #NotreDame DT Sheldon Day makes early appearance on field at Fiesta Bowl, slightly favoring left foot. Expected to give it a go v. Ohio St

 

[IrishLax]

He was on the field.

He wasn't on the field when the DL came out for warmups. He was on the field when they first got to the stadium. That Prister tweet was 20+ minutes before players came out for warmups.

 

[Polish Leppy 22]

We got no food, we got no jobs, Jerry Tillery got suspended. What are we doing here, Harry?!

 

[woolybug25]

That's fine. But he is there and going to try to play. That's all I'm saying.

 

[GATTACA!]

WHAT THE FUCK??

I don't give a shit what rule he broke this is a program defining game. Winning this game is more important than sending a message about curfews.

 

[bkess8]

What happened to letting kids play that mess up something simple like being late and then running the shit out of them after the game?

 

[Irishokie]

Shouldn't the fact we make our kids go to class be enough?!

 

[dang227]

Really disappointed with the selfishness of Redfield and Tillery. It's not that hard to stay out of trouble for a little over a week.

As unfortunate it may be for the fans, winning this game is not more important than setting rules and consequences and following it. It's called integrity.

I respectfully disagree. Would you feel the same way if this was a playoff game or the championship game?

 

[Cackalacky]

No sure why everyone is thinking Jones is gonna play a lot of snaps. Last I heard he was not expected to or ready for the volume of snaps required to play this game.

Cage not fully healthy.... Sounds like the young guys better gear up.

Cage isn't healthy? Really?

And yeah, Jones is going to be able to play 20 snaps max at a high level from what reporters have said.
