Beerfish Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 Hope the camera girl is okay after getting carted off. Gus Mahalzan (sp?) looks such such an a$$hole. His whole demeanour. He may be a great guy and a great coach but he just looks bitter and nasty all the time. He'd make a good Ebeneezer Scrooge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the one non difference making Dt or S and exchange it for two solid starters in positions that actually make a difference. Absolutely. It seems like the last 10 drafts have been defensive heavy, at least at the top but this year is different. If JD can nail this draft it will go a long way to not only making us respectable again but also watchable for the fans. Having a bottom barrel offense for what seems like decades now is wearing very thin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why he's always injured. Never throws it away. Either takes a hit or forces an INT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 Why do coaches at all levels lose their nerve when ahead? Auburn is doing nothing all game and once the lead goes to 21 Georgia's D starts playing softer than butter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine the fear is he Bo Jackson'd his hip. If it's a dislocation of the hip, he's done. I can't think of one athlete who has come back from it. I had one years ago, It's a horrible injury. You basically have to learn to walk all over again. Unbelievable pain, grueling rehab and you're lucky if you're walking a few month later. I've never been the same and my athletic career ended the day I had the injury. The pain never goes away, and the leg never is the same. When I get out of bed I never put all my weight on that leg first. I can golf, but the mornings are the worst. I get up hours before time, just to loosen up and walk without pain. I remember when Flacco was on the Ravens they had a good young TE (Heath something?) about six years ago and he suffered a hip dislocation. My friend is a big Ravens fan, and he was relieved it wasn't broken, but a dislocation of the hip is worse. As soon as they said what it was, I told him the guy wouldn't play again. He thought I was crazy, but... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patriot Killa Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Georgia pulls it out! @Lith good hard fought win there but our offense is still pre-historic.

Lith Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Nobody is better at winning ugly than the Dawgs. All 3 big games this year, Auburn, Florida and NOtre Dame follow similar scripts. Get the lead, let a team hang around, go soft on defense and survive. It was ugly, but I will take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is the same injury I wonder how far medical science has improved over the last 30 years because that is around when Bo got hurt. Look at Tommy John surgery in baseball players. That was almost a death sentence 30 years ago and now you almost want your pitcher to get it out of the way before moving forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, from what I have read today, I think part of the issue with Bo's injury was that he did not get treated quickly enough and there was not enough blood getting to the joint. Hopefully they got to Tua quickly enough to minimize the damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawkeyeJet Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 In my opinion, AJ Epenesa is the Top 10 pick from Iowa. Not Wirfs. Wirfs is a 1st rounder, but Epenesa is an absolute monster. Game changer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shutout through Q3, and then play soft and allow teams back in. Like I said above, I am not going to give back the "w", but this team needs to put someone away when they have them on the ropes. And what the hell has happened to our offense. Just about every drive a 3 and out except for the 3 TD drives. Just awful, especially in this era of offensive football.

My only caveat is some bones don't get blood flow like others and that is an anatomy problem. If you ever break a wrist, don't break your scaphoid bone.

My instinct was to get up putting my weight on my good leg. Before I could straighten, I toppled over, on the side where I was hurt. It was like I had no leg. The shortstop told my coach I passed out before I hit the ground. I remember being in an ambulance and hearing voices, but then I went out again and didn't wake up until the next morning with my leg in traction. According to the nurse, if a hip dislocation isn't treated within hours, the patient can actually die. It's a horrible injury, the leg is never the same. If that's what Tua has, he's not coming back next season, and he probably never will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT I just saw the ESPN scroll that it is a hip dislocation. Man, I feel horrible for the kid. like @Lith said, hopefully his family took out an insurance policy guarding against a career ending injury while in school.

As for Tua, hopefuly he has insurance to protect him against a drop in the draft and at the very least will be financially secure. Hoping maybe it turns out not to be as serious as feared and he still has a shot at an NFL career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are still not 100% sure what the injury is, so I don't want to speculate much. Even worst case scenario you're comparing to a guy who was probably in his 40-50's sliding into a base during a beer league game and a TE from over a decade ago. We're talking about a top athlete that is around 20 and has top end care. Either way his stock will tank because he can never stay healthy. It;s quite disgusting what Saban makes/ convinces these kids to play through. He just had surgery a few weeks ago and played last week.
