I mean that’s objectively absurd if it was an SC sprain. But fuck let’s goooo

He was only throwing short, *gentle* passes.  That said, we don't know if that is because he was told to or if he is holding back.  I'd guess 90% he was told to, but could throw harder.  Why waste him and risk further injury for UTSA?

[Hank_Hill 18,791]

Yea he’s not playing today obviously. Solid to see him even attempting throws 1 week in though. Fuck OU

[blutow 238]

He's in pads and throwiing.  I still doubt he starts, but maybe good enough to go if things go sideways.  

[hornbri 1,396]

Well I see him on the field in pads

[Rickylovesweed 14,262]

I'm thinking Ewers will be good to go against Tech. 

[WinningIsHard 4,026]

I’m at a birthday party in Jourdanton, and Ewer’s grandparents are here on his dads side. They are under the impression he’s out 4-6 weeks. If that turns out to be subterfuge then bravo to Sark for running a tight mother fucking ship. He seems to have learned a lot of good habits from saban.

Any hope he’s back this week or most likely WV?

He’s going to travel with the team and be the back up option at QB. This isn’t sourced or anything, so so with that as you may. 
This week the backup option was RoCat. Next week the RoCat will still be a change of pace but it Card goes down I bet you see Ewers. Or if the game gets unmanageable maybe you see him.

He's gotten past the first hurdle of being able to throw again.  I would bet he will be pretty close to being able to throw full speed by the weekend.  The issue is if it's healed enough to take hits without being re-injured.

Maybe that will motivate the O-line. 

[ztejas 43,411]

Can we make some sort of - bear with me - superquarterback here with an injured Ewers on top of Card's shoulders? This would leave him less vulnerable to direct hits while also granting him increased mobility.

This sounds plausible to me. Maybe drill it into his head this week that when in doubt just throw the ball away -- do everything you possibly can to avoid a hit.

I'd expect Tech will take as many cheap shots as it can get away with, even some that it can't.

[bluto 4,912]

Sam Bradford was a grade 3 (dislocation) back in 2009. He sat out ~3 games then played clean vs Baylor, then Aaron Williams ended his college career. 
 

saying that to ask if there’s really any difference of reinjury potential between 2 wks off and say 4 wks off or does ewers need an off-season to fully heal (back to normal pre injury) and it’s really just a matter time off regarding pain and joint mobility? ^Big time word salad.

I proposed something like this last year. A 2 qb system where Casey took the snaps and made the reads but would hand it to Hudson if it was an intermediate or deep pass (this was in the preseason when the narrative was Card had a better intermediate to deep ball but Casey was better short and knew the offense better)

That didn't gain much traction, but perhaps this is the year. Quinn takes the snap, makes the read, and makes all the throws, but if he is going to be sacked then he hands it to Hudson to take the hit. 

If we're worried about Tech playing dirty and twisting Hudson's ankle, then when Hudson gets sacked and is at the bottom of a pile, he and Quinn can switch back so that they're twisting Quinn's healthy ankle instead. Player safety is always paramount

This is all unnecessary. Just have Kelvin Banks hide the football under his shirt and run to the end zone. Back in the late 50s that worked like a charm in the street games we would play in Lampasas.

Unfortunately I'm not sure that will work anymore now that it's been put on film

Show him tape of Payton taking sacks as his line collapsed.   He would essentially kneel and live to fight another day.

He was a grade 2. Became a grade 3 with the hit. And it was his AC. Completely different injury

If he's traveling, he's playing. You can only travel 65, you aren't going to waste a spot on a guy, the starting QB no less, unless he's playing.

We need a 1999 regular season game against Nebraska performance from the OL. Applewhite wasn't hit the entire game.

So the opposite of the Nebraska big 12 game 10 years later. Still salty about how they beat up Colt, but fuck those putos we still won.

[Rickylovesweed 14,262]

Sark's comment about the "QBs not all being able to practice last Monday" seems to imply they were able to practice at some point last week? Or am I reading too much into this? 

Based on that comment, I got the impression that Ewers practiced some last week.

Ewers throwing is good but him taking hits is a whole different story with that injury.

Yes - you are - because Tech won't know whether he's playing or not. 

Ewers is 100% making the trip regardless of health.

[MonkeyDoughnut 10,227]

Isn't Ewers recovery more of he could play but shouldn't play type situation? As each days passes the likelihood of this injury leading to a much worse degree goes down significantly?

This makes no sense. By the time Tech finds out whether or not Ewers made the trip, they aren't practicing anymore. They are going to have to prepare for him playing all week, there isn't much they can do on Saturday.

[Bodacious Bevo 3,584]

I'd argue Quinn should travel for the process. He hasn't had to travel so far this year. Have him go through the flight, hotel, visitor locker room, etc. That stuff matters. Did he travel at all last year for OSU?

This is a hybrid. This is a cross, ah, of Bluegrass, Kentucky Bluegrass, Featherbed Bent, and Northern California Sensemilia. The amazing stuff about this is, that you can play 36 holes on it in the afternoon, take it home and just get stoned to the bejeezus-belt that night on this stuff.

Somebody check my work here. VY slaps the hell outta Quinn's right asscheek and says: "Whats up, babygarl? You betta have fun mothafucka, enjoy yourself." Is that accurate? And then the Texas Football socials posted the video. And we're just not talking about it at all?
