Tough to break a leg and not be out for the remainder of the season.

The exact area of the team that we couldn't afford a major injury.

Guess: Broken leg will mean bowl game scenario is needed.

Side discussion: I see that the spelling of his name in this thread title is correct, but I swear the back of his jersey was Ta'ufo'ou. Am I crazy?

Well, you're crazy, but yes, it was that way on the back of his jersey.

1) I made sure to have the roster in another window -wasn't going to try and spell it without it

2) Found the internet report: Bobby La Gesse's Twitter account: https://twitter.com/BobbyLaGesse

Yeah, I posted Bobby's report earlier in another thread, but I went with the spelling on the back of his jersey. I was surprised that was wrong.

Wait, so he broke his leg but he isn't out for the season? That is good but I don't envy him having to play on a broken leg. Hope he gets well soon!

no, he can be back in 4 weeks. most likely a fibula break - he was holding the outside of his calf - fibula is non-weight bearing, so he can be back once it heals.

Didn't we bring Lattimer in as a LB?

I think he came in at end. Nice intensity out of the kid (but keep it within the whistles). We had a safety in at MLB, according to the announcers anyway. I was surprised George wasn't in there.

He's better as a DE and needed just as much for depth at that position.

Maybe it's time to dust off the old 6-1 defensive alignment that probably hasn't seen the light of day in 50 years.
