Motta to Start, Salvi 5th Safety

[The Polish Irishman]

Slaughter will only be available in an emergency. Motta will start. Chris Salvi (Walk-On) will serve at the 5th Safety.

#33 Salvi, Chris Safety 5-10/180 JR Lake Forest, Ill./Carmel Catholic

whats up with slaughter ?

Ankle sprain, for Slaughter I believe... And it wasn't a high ankle sprain either... Which is a huge plus.

cool thanks

Slaughter got the injury against PU and missed a lot of the game. He was kept out of practice early in the week in a boot. They hoped he'd be ready to go but apparently he's not.

Whats a Salvi? I hope BK sends him in early for a play or two. That'd shock him and get his nerves out of the way before the have a chance to build up or we're in a critical situation.

I thought Slaughter had to have surgery and couldn't move his ankle for 72 hours. I don't see how that's minor but I'm not a doctor.

Hopefully Slaughter gets healthy quick but dont be surprised if Zeke Motta becomes a household name. This kids a stud and a gamer. We are ND!

I totally agree about Motta. No disrespect to Slaughter, but I am willing to bet that Motta takes this spot and holds on to it. He is a much more physical presence than Slaughter. I know Slaughter is a hitter, but he just doesn't bring the physical size of Motta.

Furhter, I picture Slaughter as a CB more than a safety. Zeke is a solid 215, but I am willing to bet slaughter is really only about 190. That is 25 difference which matters when laying the wood on a TE or big WR.

Good Luck to both!!

BK said he had a "procedure" done, not a surgery.

Energy drink = Spaz

LOL

I like this kid a lot. Similar tools to H. Smith but a better nose for game.

I like the female friend for one of his 3 essentials on a desert island.

Zeke and destroy!

Didn't BK say Slaughter would be available for Michigan in case of an emergency?

Also, why not move Collinsworth to safety.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

This stinks...we are paper thin at safety. Hopefully Slaughter is back next week.
Wayne Lyons while you are at the game take note of the depth chart and the early PT ptoential lol.

 

[mick2]

does jamoris have any relation to the former ravens linebacker tj slaughter?

Zeke and destroy!

That's brilliant, and I love it. Metallica is playing in my head.
