Smith did a Superman tackle that game. Looked like he was flying in the air then boom. I’ll never forget that tackle

Talich is listed as 'questionable' for this Saturday against PU. Does that mean that Joey O'Brian would play in his stead as starter?

Starting to think Talich should play Mike next year and have a gazillion tackles
Does that mean you still expect Brauntae to declare for the draft? Because if so, we'll be losing both starting safeties. I'd love to have Talich + O'Brien or Long.

We have a number of potential 5th year linebackers and Madden waiting in the fold.

Keep him at Safety he's a frickin' baller.

As we have seen the past few seasons, secondary depth is crucial. There's no reason to move the guys that can play the position at a high level. Especially if we lose two guys to the draft.

Is Ethan Long injured?

He didn't get any defensive snaps in the MSU game, but showed up on the stat sheet with an assisted tackle. O'Brien played as the third safety. Shuler didn't come off the field. Talich played 43 out of 45 defensive snaps.

I thought I watched Long make a play live and the announcers mentioning his name.

Can they convince Shuler to come back another year? He's probally a 3rd-4th rounder right now

What type of injury requires a cast where you only miss a week? I’m not a doctor, but I’d imagine he’s going to be out longer.

Freeman said in his presser that he will play if they can just wrap it and play through it. The implication was never he will wear a cast for 6 days and then be fine

People with minor ankle injuries literally get booted for a week all the time to immobilize it and let it heal.

And I imagine playing with a taped up ankle versus wrist is a similar decision, besides needing an open hand to tackle and play DB. Thus the logistical issue of a wrap in the decision. Not an indication of severity.
