Redout Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 What's the extent?? What is the injury? How much will this hurt us, he hasn't done much of late. Quote Link to comment
DaveH Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 Hard to say how much it will hurt, but I think not much. They haven' been able to get the ball to him a lot lately. It sucks cause he does have great ability and you hate to lose a player like that at any position. From what I saw on the multiple replays, it's not good. Quote Link to comment
Redout Posted October 30, 2004 Author Share Posted October 30, 2004 This sucks....did the tv tell exactely what the injury is? Quote Link to comment
DaveH Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 This sucks....did the tv tell exactely what the injury is? No, not that I heard. But they had the inflatable cast out. Has to be a broken leg or ankle from what it looked like. You can't turn your body 90 degrees with respect to your ankle and come out OK Sucks!!! Quote Link to comment

It sucks cause he does have great ability and you hate to lose a player like that at any position. From what I saw on the multiple replays, it's not good. It may hurt more than we think. One reason we haven't been getting him the ball as much lately is our reliance on the run. However, if we run up against a team that manages to stop the run, then that loss could be huge when we have to rely on the pass more. I hate to say it, but looking at the reply it appeared either as a broken ankle - odd angle to say the least. Damn shame - I really feel for the kid. Quote Link to comment

Someone is going to have to step up there then! Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 It's almost better if it is a breadk rather than a tear of a muscle or something. The break will always heal, tear and ACL's and the like take so much time. Quote Link to comment

Also, it seems that when players come back from breaks they haven't really lost their quickness or speed, as so often happens with ACLs and the like. Quote Link to comment
Red November Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 the anouncers were saying that it could be a dislocation or broken ankle/lower leg. your in my thoughts Matt Quote Link to comment
Red November Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Now who's going to step up??? Keiser? Phillips? Mueller? Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 ouch....yukkkkkkkkkk, this is gross. They actually printed that in the paper Quote Link to comment

The break will always heal, tear and ACL's and the like take so much time. Looking at the picture, that sure looks like a break. I've had a broken bone with surgury but never anything torn. I know that torn tendons and ligaments are usually many times more painful and are career enders many times. Breaks just take a couple months to heal. Maybe next season. Quote Link to comment
DaveH Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 OWH reports a fractured left leg. I don't believe there has been an official statement yet. Quote Link to comment
Benard Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 broke tibia and fibula, not good at all. Let's hope he is back for next year. Quote Link to comment
