Chris Jones out 4-6 months

Even if Blades were to make it he would likely have to take a redshirt to get his grades right I believe so I don't think he would help us much on the field

This. Makes me wonder if there was a little more damage in the knee.

Had meniscus surgery in the spring after my freshman year in college and was back to full football activities and lifting in a month.

All depends on where in the meniscus, type of tear and how big it was. But this had to be a good sized tear though.
 
Keep Kalu at safety and your starting CBs are Lee and Jackson.

Both of those guys were supposed to be really good out of highschool.

Time for them to step up.

I just can't see that happening. Kieron Williams is a serviceable safety, that's the switch. Move Kalu back until Lee/Jackson prove they are useful.

 
We switched from the 4-3 to the 3-4 because we have talent that's supposed to be more in line with that. My hope is that Diaco will be creative up front, pressure the qb and move him off his spot and therefore cut down on the angles to open receivers. We created next to ZERO pressure last year. No defence, no matter how good the DB core is, can thrive in those circumstances. It sucks to keep saying it but the front seven dictate the success and opportunities for the defensive backfield.

 
I have seen fans (posting on other sites) that this means at least one more loss this year and that now they are "okay" with 6 to 7 wins. Ugggg

nope. That's not ok. Adapt, overcome. We have the players still. I think Lee steps up and plays well for us in Jones absence. This sucks but is not an excuse
 
Time for the young guys to step up and play. I prefer to keep Kalu at Safety. Easier for him to react if something goes wrong from there versus on an island on the other side of the field. We will be fine, there is time to get Lee or whoever up to speed.

Is it possible the 4 to 6 month recovery is a bit of disinformation gamesmanship?

Either way, it is no excuse for this team. If one (or 2 or 3) injury significantly impacts the season, then it's not much of a team to begin with. Depth and development are no less important than a handful of your top players.
