seriously tho, how do u go down on the first drill of TC?

[thunderraiden]

I never hear of a single injury during OTA's but first drill of the first practice and there wasn't even contact and a player goes down for the season? I don't see too many ppl jogging and getting torn achilles tendons

what the fug is with our luck.

lecharles bentley blew his knee to pieces stretching in cleveland then got mrsa lol

[Cyclonus]

It's definetly bad luck. It's such a freak injury. But the guy is 350 pounds (probably out of shape from the off-season). And his tendons have been taking a beating for probably 20 years.

That's what she said.

Injuries happen. Sometimes it's just bad luck, as in this case

[Highlandfire]

Its gotta be due to a crappy offseason program. These guys are either too beat up when they get to camp or not in shape enough.

A blown achilles while running sprints is just bad luck, plain and simple.

It is no coincidence that it happened the beginning of TC. I doubt that this would have happened once he got in the groove of training. It is unlucky but at least we may see him back at the end of season and we have time to adjust before week 1.

There are lots of positive things happening with the defense as welll right now.

dude blowing out your achilles is just a fluke injury.

He was put on IR yesterday, so no.

An achilles rupture is a bizarre injury.

I was playing basketball with a friend of mine many years ago. He was in great shape and played every day. He went up for a jump shot (no one was near him) and his achilles ruptured as soon as he jumped.

All I know is.....itt used to be an injury that was hardly heard of at all compared the amount of players that it happens to now.

Maybe it's just all in my mind, but 20 years ago, compared to the last 10, there seems to be a dramatic increase in hearing about this injury. Players keep getting bigger, and bigger.

Not sure if anybody remembers WR Ronald Curry from Oakland, but he was a fit WR, and it took him over 2 years to come back from his. He was out the first year, came back and tore it again the very next season.

Not being negative, but it is hard to imagine a guy Kemo's size recovering from this quickly, and being able to perform like before when you are 350-360, depending on what day he is weighed on.

Hard to say I guess just what causes it. :confused:

I hate it though.

when I glanced at the title I almost got excited. I misread it and though it said how do you go down on the first date.............

I'm sad it happened but, I'm glad it happened now.
