drowland Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 You know u can walk on torn ACLs right. My teacher is doing it right now and its pretty funny watching him walk :laugh: You can run on a torn ACL as long as you're running straight.

PCS Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Damn. This has been a season for the books. Way, way too many injuries. Testing the depth of the team severely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjwilliams76 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Do you think that's what it is? I mean yeah the strains and pulls but does training have anything to do with legs getting rolled under, tricepts getting torn off the bone etc? Not a single thing to do with it.

SMOSS89 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Damn. This has been a season for the books. Way, way too many injuries. Testing the depth of the team severely. Yeah, I know. TOughest part is that theres no one to blame, because you cant see it coming. However, you can just keep building depth. But even if they make the playoffs, this is still one of the roughest years ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard666 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 to be honest, Rocky has not been outstanding. No chance at the pro bowl. No mention when it comes to best linebackers in the league. He has a long way to go even after he gets healthy. This team could use a great linebacker who can sack the QB 8-10 times and make 100 tackles.

Ghost of Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 This is the first I've heard of this about him. Wow, if it's true it's just another bad pick by us where we overpaid in doling out more draft picks. I'd like someone to confirm this as true first though... Well, I don't know about structural issues but it was pretty common knowledge he was viewed as injury prone or 'predisposed' before then. You'd have to do a search and wade through a bunch of threads from that year (if you can find it) but there was a lot of talk leading up to the draft about his knee. Then you throw in him being scoped 3 times in 12 months while with the Skins... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ez2envy Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I've never seen a team with SO MANY inurys!!! And you know what that just shows how great a coach Gibbs is because we are still in every single game and it always goes down to the wire. Imagine if we stayed full healthy like Dallas have, a lot of those close games most likely woulda went our way. Its real hard when you lose your whole right side of the line and you already got a pretty new QB, then the WR are all banged up Sellers out a couple games then on Defense Griffin been in and out, Rogers was a big injury, and of course the great Sean Taylor rip. And now McIntosh with a season ender, and we r still plugging away. I can't wait to see this team fully healthy next year that's when we will make sum serious noise. Shoot we making noise now and we are a crippled team but this team is still playing hard for there coach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least from what I've heard he's got a heckuva work ethic, he's going need that in rehab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 OUCH. Rocky Mac was playing so well, Pro bowl calibur early on. Now he's basically out all of this year and next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan2k Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Agreed I think Blades will perform at a higher level basd on what 1 game? Rocky was our best LB in the beginning of the season and then teams got tape of weakness and that he bites alot on playaction and they send TE near his path Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Will have to check, but according to JLC's blcg, this is the other knee that he injured. Not the one he has had scoped and possibly not the same one that was of concern to the Skins when he was drafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zCommander Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I hope he gets well soon. At the rate our players are going down we might be the first team to win a SB with just mostly backups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjwilliams76 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 If they are saying it's both his ACL AND MCL, I'm not buying it either. You can only walk off the field under your own power on a torn ACL. If it's an MCL, you can't walk at all. He might have just sprained his MCL. Incorrect. 1) an MCL tear would not require surgery. 2) You can walk on an MCL tear. Research has shown that, despite the significant valgus stress involved, the vastus medialis could provide enough strength to allow simple single plane movement. With Rocky's muscle strength, it is not improbable. Hence Ladell in St. Louis, Grade 3 MCL strain and he walked off. Played 4 weeks later. If both the ACL/MCL are torn, then yes multiplanar stresses involved would most likely inhibit walking. 3) Typically, Musculotendinous injuries result in the most inhibition of movement. Why, simple, the muscle is no longer attached to its lever(bone). No muscle attachment no movement. (achilles tendon, bicep tendon, quad tendon, etc.) Ligament injuries often times have smaller effects on movement. Albeit a small category for comparison. I believe he suffered either an ACL tear or a meniscus tear. I didn't see any significant valgus of his knee or any major instabilities in his gait. His combine reports are of concern though. If he started his NFL career with an osteochondral defect, this injury could doom him to Mike Barrow/Lavar Arrington status. We will have to see. Redskins injury reports are like Pabst Blue Ribbon beer. Yeah it says beer, but is it really beer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfbovey Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Yeah, I've heard it on both 980 and 730 that it's both the MCL and ACL and that he may not only be out the rest of this season, but next season as well. This season is one great big heaping pile that keeps stacking up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
