I was watching the news the other night, and when Helu was asked if he was physically ready to play full time, he said to ask the coaches.

Picture flashes to watson, and he says yep, nothing wrong with Helu.

When asked why he is wearing a green jersey in practice, Helu says he doesn't know.

When asked why he's not getting the ball 25-30 times a game anymore, even after he put up good numbers, he said he doesn't know, but it's humbling. <_<

What's the deal with this Helu injury? Obviously he's hurt, so why won't the coaches admit to it? Obviously he's NOT normal right now, so why dodge all the questions and hide it? :dunno

Figured we could talk about something other than Lee and Green. :snacks:

 
i have been wondering the same thing lately. it is obvious when he does play that he is not 100%. i'm sick of this beat around the bush, never answer an injury question fully, defer to the coaches BS.

Helu played against Tech and didn't fumble. Is he dinged, yes, should that be an excuse? No. I promise you, there are very few running backs in football at this point of the year that AREN'T beat up. If you can go, go. If not, there will be someone else waiting in the wings.

i know, right? we still do not know the exact injury Rex incurred. just a broken bone in his foot is all they will reveal. is it a tarsal bone, a phalanges, a metatarsal bone? information would be nice.

The coaches aren't doctors, I doubt they really understand the extent of the injuries beyond, "How long will he be out" Even if they did, the players have a right to privacy by law for their medical conditions.

 
intrestingly enough, i just read this from Bo on Helu......

“I expect him to play like he's OK if he puts himself in the football game,” Pelini said. “Period. End of story. If you're hurt, you're hurt. If you're not, I expect you to walk out on the field and give it up.”

so apparently, its Helu's decision whether or not he gets to play with his nagging shoulder injury.

i realize the coaches are not doctors, but i am positive they have consulted with doctors regarding the injury. its not hard to repeat what the doctor said.

I work in a hospital, even nurses struggle with what a doctor says sometimes. The coaches cannot repeat what the doctors say anyway, there are privacy laws that protect that.

yet they can release the fact that spano had an ACL injury.....

Was it a partial tear? Full tear? What graft did they use to repair it this time? Single or double-bundle?

Rex Burkhead broke a bone in his foot, just like Spano tore up his knee. Does it really matter beyond that?

And it's Helu's decision whether or not to get his a$$ chewed out by bo for fumbling. I don't think he'll do it again
