Does anyone know the specifics to DJ's injury? When did it occur? Etc. Still just upset about how he played.

Injury was in the later half of last season and he missed the remainder after it happened. Basically was getting tackled and then another player landed on his throwing shoulder and it basically inverted. Could tell it was serious as soon as it happened.

My biggest takeaway is that we still can't Finish.

By far the emptiest 3 minutes I've ever heard from JoeMo. Part of that is on the reporters for not asking any legitimate questions, and part of that's on JoeMo for not realizing fans watch this and inserting something - anything - that speaks directly to them and their obvious concerns.

 

"Tahj is a talented thrower"

 

Left with more questions than answers after that one.

 

Unfortunately, that's all you get after years of awful football.  Nobody cares except the staff, players, players' families and about 20 posters on here.  As a result, nobody from the press really covers the games, attends press conferences or asks the tough questions.

It is kind of amazing after all these miserable years that we still have interest in this program.

Some interesting DJI passing stats:

Total: 17 of 29 for 205 yards

Middle of the field (between the numbers): 12 of 16 for 180 yards

Beyond 10 yards: 3 of 12 for 137 yards

[72 Roo]

If one of those 3 of 12 passes beyond 10 yards was the one to Lingard, DJ is seriously hurting and needs to have a reduced role. We can win with Undercuffler even if Joe doesn't trust the accuracy of Taj. But when you think about it Taj's accuracy has to be better than DJ. The numbers tell the story.

The turnover tire as bad as the turnover pencil 

[pdt1420]

I think it’s better. The pencil had nothing to do with the school and it was comically dangerous. 

[Let'sGoZips94]

The tire necklace is incredible. If we make noise this season, that will be highlighted by the national media. 

[Blue & Gold]

The Turnover Tire is AWESOME! It’s delightfully ironic & spot-on Akron.

[LoyalZIP]

I think it’s the Touchdown Tire, maybe the Turnover Tire too but this defense hasn’t forced one yet. Either way, perfectly Akron and awesome!

[GoZips86]

Let's be honest, the tire is only cool because we are Akron fans lol.
