not getting the feeling he'll play this weekend. I've mentioned this before on other threads, but he has been our overall best defensive player. His combination of size and speed is something im not even sure we've ever had. Hopefully, we have him back for Nebraska.
Demarcus Mitchell injury
- Thread starter ImRonBurgandy?
- Start date
Yeah, agreed, he's probably been our best overall defensive player...sucks to the nth power.
Doesn't look good as apparently his big toe got mangled pretty good in his bicycle chain...which also makes you ask what the hell he was doing riding his bike barefoot in November?
Oh you know, just another one of the Boilers' best players going down. All injuries suck and all teams have to deal with it but the percentage of them being to our best players over the last season and a half have been uncanny.
Mangled in a bicycle chain? For real?
Kind of makes me wonder about Brohm's comment that his injury is similar to George's. Is there a barefoot cycling club for Purdue football players?
Brohm was referring to Watts. Bike accident is news to me. Where did u hear that?
Bizarre. He wasn't coming from Tirek Murphy's, was he?

Someone shared it, IIRC, via GK's Instagram pic / caption. I don't do Twitter or IG so cannot link it.
I don't remember seeing Mitchell at all in the Minn game but someone said he tried giving it a shot on the first series before realizing it simply wouldn't work. Sounds painful as hell.
Indeed. Sammy Sosa should've been a Boiler after sneezing and landing on the disabled list with a back injury.
I know injuries happen. But for crying out loud, I've never seen a team with more injuries to key players. Is it bad luck? Or are our players making bad choices, or are we doing things in practice we shouldn't?
This happens to a lot of teams. We just dont have the depth to overcome it yet.
I imagine having an official coaching policy of every position being open and going to the best current player has two effects. One, it causes players to exert themselves more and improve during practice, and two, this also leads to more injuries because players cannot slackoff and still be expected to automatically play. And players may play harder also in games because of this.
I heard he was riding on Unc Selwyn's handlebars when out of nowhere Kelsey Barlow appeared hurling Sauce Johnson at the mangled ball rack from yesteryear startling Unc dipping Demarcus and there goes the toe. Very unfortunate. That Barlow, man.
Anyone know the status of Steve Faucheaux, Dontay Hunter or Jeff Marks? I don’t think I’ve noticed any of them on the field this year. Is it injuries, or are they just not there yet to make the 2 deeps?
I was hoping Dontay Hunter would make a move this year. Love his size.
Faucheux is behind Neal, Watts and Johnson. Marks fell out of favor last year and Hunter switched to OLB. My guess is he is still learning.
Think the game-log said Miller played one single snap. Wouldn't mind seeing a bit more of him though...especially in redzone opportunities. Payne had a real rough game vs NW but he's putting together a decent year.
Miller isnt a good enough blocker to get a ton of snaps. His time will come.
I saw Miller play one snap. He was on the right side of the line alongside Durham. It was when we were driving left to right for whatever that's worth. Don't recall what happened on the play.
hunter is Mitchell’s position? Also ... isn’t it
NT
Neal
Johnson
then Austin is in that group?
DE (basically 4-3 DT/not George’s position)
watts
Then faucheux is in that position somewhrr
