  1. Where are your examples if you're so knowledgeable about the subject?
  2. It's probably not common at all because it would require the QB getting a surprise injury in the middle of the week. Example: this game. The opening line already knew Ewers was out. I think you're right in the NFL but college is a different animal. If Wright played the full game vs Bama, we would have been lucky to score 10 points all game, much less in the first quarter like Ewers did.
  3. I always believed it was one of the major issues and that he was aware of it. I just didn't know if he could fix it. Watching that first Nebraska game only cemented that thought. But I'm not ready to say it's for sure fixed yet. So far so good but let's see what happens if they have a bad loss or two. That'll be the real test.
  4. Random thought experiment - what do you think the line on this game would have been with a fully healthy Card and with a healthy Ewers? Line opened at -14 and is currently -12.5. I'm gonna say it would've been around -18 with healthy Card and -25 with Ewers.
  5. Even with our QB situation, I don't really understand how the line is as low as it is. And that's exactly what concerns me. Vegas isn't dumb.
  6. So this, Evan Stewart retweeting how the scheme sucks, and Chris Marshall allegedly walking out mid-practice. Sounds like Jimbo has everything under control!
  7. A lot of interesting stuff on there. One that stands out -- Yards before contact per rush = NEGATIVE ONE...that's no bueno
  8. Maybe so but I'm sure his coaches and aggie fans wont like it one bit
  9. I have a bad feeling about this game
  10. Yeah the DLs for UTSA, Tech, and WVU are nowhere Bama's universe, on paper. But still, the OL needs to play well in pass and run. Obviously need the D to keep playing well too.
  11. Pretty sure Nebraska is a downgrade for Aranda, Stoops, and Pittman. Maybe Klieman too.
  12. Well it's an SC sprain so pretty sure this is irrelevant
  13. I'll be a little surprised if King starts this week tbh
  14. Next couple weeks are gonna ride on the OL. Card is fine with good protection and the running game is gonna be critical.
  15. Damn I didn't even know about Bijan. I assume he'll be ok since he came back? This is becoming one of the worst injury seasons I can remember when including Neyor and Junior
  16. All-time weird decision. Season is fucked, why not wait 4 weeks? Those cornfuckers better not steal Patterson from us before the season ends
  17. Pete Thamel isn't getting his info from OB
  18. That's scary. That's a trap line.
  19. I would think so but who knows. Tbh it concerns me a bit that Ewers didn't come back because it sounds like people often do with an AC sprain (ie Drew Brees' comment).
  20. Wtf happened on the OL the the QE injury play? Looked like the play was designed to roll left where we had two receivers and one defender, but Will Anderson came through untouched and Quinn had to spin around to avoid him. Also, Bijan needs new cleats. Dude slips like every play.
  21. I noticed live Guilbeau struggling early with tackling and then Barron seemed to take over effectively. Looks like PFF agrees. Also, Agiye got a snap?
  22. The real miss was Drew Sanders - 11 tackles, 2 sacks vs USCe yesterday. Mathis looks like money saved for sure.
  23. Everyone is just going off Sark's "clavicle sprain" comment which is obviously a little vague and sloppy terminology because you can sprain the AC or SC (which both have clavicle in their full names), but the clavicle itself would only be a fracture. I think people are then just assuming Sark was using layman's terms "clavicle" for AC or SC but that the sprain part is accurate. From there, AC is much more common and lines up with what happened on the play. So bottom line, we're all guessing but hoping the sprain part was true. As noted in a previous post, players often miss no time with an AC sprain. Even OBJ when he had a grade 3 one. But I'm sure it depends on the specifics. edit: AC joint separation is also what Drew Brees said "shoot it up" and get back in there for.
  24. Your point still stands but AC (Acromioclavicular) joint sprain sounds like the more common one actually and is generally caused by that type of hit/fall. AC seems to be the consensus "twitter doctor" guess as to what it is based on Sark's comment and the play.
  25. Did some Googling on potential Ewers injury. Assuming the term "sprain" was accurate, it sounds like an AC sprain is the most likely injury and a fairly common one in football. SC sprain sounds pretty rare and supposedly the Ewers play was a classic AC injury type of hit. I didn't read a ton but the examples I saw for NFL players with AC sprains had them missing very little time (most 0-1 game). Kyler sprained his throwing AC and didn't miss time. Tom Brady sprained his non-throwing one, didn't miss time. Justin Jefferson (WR) didn't miss time. Odell Beckham had a Grade 3 one last year, left the game "shrieking in pain", still played the next week. Mccafrey had an "AC joint separation" and missed at least 2 games (maybe 3, not clear). Will Rogers (Miss St) sprained his throwing AC joint against Bama last year and actually finished the game. Of course, I have no idea severity or if that is indeed what QE has. But I did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
