Tin foil hat I know, but c'mon. The level of frustration is unbearable. Just when you thought things couldn't get worse.

It's a dickbag reply, whether he's got the goods or not.

I know what you're getting at and I have to admit I've thought the same too... and I hate conspiracy theories.

I'm going to take a wild guess that we'll hear next about Scarlett or Forbes being out for the season. It sounds like the defense has really soured against the coaching staff or something. What's the real story?

In fairness, I think what is going on with Moose is he has a redshirt year, so if it is clear he won't be healthy in the next couple weeks, might as well pull the plug now.
If I were going to be conspiracy oriented, I'd be more inclined to a lesser conspiracy that at this point they've accepted that this year's defense is beyond help and there is no point rushing guys back if they have a redshirt year or a possibility of a medical waiver. I actually don't think that is the case, but I think it is more likely than the players not coming back because they are down on the staff. Players want to play.

*PURE SPECULATION*
so, I know from watching too many interviews and ready too much about cal football, that Moose was actually 100% cleared to play. It was simply a pain issue. Now that Dykes has confirmed that the surgery involved cartilage, it further confirms the pain issue. He probably wouldn't really damage it anymore (why he's cleared to play), but the lack of cartilage is likely going to make his knee feel like crap. Pain tolerance.
This is why Sonny is like, "we have to be able to know the difference between injured and hurt". I think Sonny was including Moose in that and thinking he is more hurt than injured and that he should be on the field.
Oh well, hopefully they fix his knee, but I'm not sure how this will affect Moose going forward. There might be a staff issue.
This goes the same for Forbes. Forbes is cleared but his back just bugs him. It's going to be a chronic issue that will affect him for his whole career. I don't really expect much from him going forward. It's Hardy's spot now and I think he is doing well, and will be a good one for us.
As for Scarlett. He's actually not cleared to go. So, it's a different situation for him. I really hope he is back 100% next year, but I'm not expecting him back this year.
Quote:
head coach Sonny Dykes said Tuesday that the team is "past the point of no return" with Scarlett, a converted junior outside linebacker who has been sidelined with a hand injury.

I am certain that Jalil has not played at all. The only one of the 3 mentioned that played is Sebastian. And that was just for the 1st half of the opener. I think that you are allowed to play a half and still redshirt.

Still can't believe he had 10 tackles in one half.
