JT Floyd done for year

But I don't think either one has the potential to be a shut-down corner. Woolfolk wasn't exactly amazing before he got hurt, and floyd flashed good ability but lacks experience. I think both are potential solid big 10 corners.

They're still our best two corners, though. I hope they rehab like champs so we can trot out something resembling a defense for our stellar 2011 campaign. 

in the offseason and form a "No Fly Zone"

If nothing else comes out of this Avery, Cullen and Talbott will get plenty of reps in the last 5 games to be ready for everything next year.

Sounds like torn ligaments...

Depends on the severity of the ligament damamge. Sometimes surgery and natural healing will about the same time frame. In that case, doctors will normally recommend against surgery.

However, if there is more serious damage than that they will normally recommend surgery. If its somethign severe enough you might not have a choice but to have surgery.

I say this only from personal experience with ligament and miniscus damage to both my knees and ligament damage to my ankle. So it might be differently if you are an athlete on a college team.

A sprain is usually treated with conservative measures.  You can have a very bad injury that you will often hear referred to as a "high ankle sprain".  What this is is a tearing of the syndesmosis complex which is a confluence of soft tissues that keep your tibia and fibula in relation to one another.  A lot of times people fracture their ankles as the energy overwhelms them, sometimes the energy tears the interosseous complex and the tibia and . fibula splay open as seen here.  This picture shows someone with fractures but ignore the cracks in the bone and look at the before picture where the two bones are far apart, then after it is fixed they are snug together to support the bone beneath it (talus bone) which makes up your ankle joint.  A couple screws hold the ankle joint so it heals adequately.  I don't know JT's exact injury but that is one scenario where an ankle injury has no fractures but still requires surgery (again pretend no breaks in the bone just splaying of the tibia and fibula).

<optimism>

Reinforces the "our defense is really freakin young" RR job defense excuse

</optimism>

Nah, he'll just look like one when juxtaposed with our current secondary.

Is this really the time for an "I told you so"?

Good for you, Mr. Internet Man.

He's already used his redshirt, too. 

It must be Satan, a known Ohio State attendee who flunked out due to too much partying!

Please Bo, get Satan back in line and away from our defensive backs!!!!

I'm guessing recruits would also look at the turmoil going on on our defensive side of the ball. Every recruit has dreams of making it to the NFL. I'm sure recruits question whether Gerg (or whoever is next) will prepare them enough for the NFL. It's not just about immediate playing time.

Or they would see the wrath of the angry Michigan secondary hating god and run as far as possible in the opposite direction.
