A little off topic but think we should have moved RoJo to tight end. He was a tweener but I think he could have given LBs and safeties fits.

no shit. I ****ed that op up 20 years ago. Fortunately it has allowed me the chance to work at Taco Bell for Taco Tuhouy now.
The "I told you so" card is fun to play tho. It never gets old year after year. Seeing everyone flip out about me being right as we went 5-7 this year was very gratifying. Just think about if I had been wrong about the Om investigation????
I think we will be just fine on receiving... if we can just get them to work back to Fitz after the play breaks down we will be fine and dandy
We have shitty luck at receiver. Wilson leaving us cost us as many as 3 games last year. No bullshit.
Back to the original point of the thread, any further word on Dear's condition?
Robert Johnson was a productive WR for us. I'd take another him in a heartbeat. Couch, Todd and Mitchell give us some serious size at WR. But they have no talent so we're done, in March.***********
I don't get the whole ER thing. Its not like if we have a guy that feels something pop at practice, we rush him to OCH and stick him in a waiting room for 3 hours sitting next to a guy who cut a finger tip off with his hedge clippers and a homeless guy with bronchitis. We have a team of trainers and doctors that are more than capable of making a tentative, worst case diagnosis and immobilizing the affected area until he can get an X-ray, MRI, or whatever the case may be. Whoever claimed he was in the ER for a torn ACL is full of shit, unless he tore it playing pickup basketball at 1 AM and literally couldn't reach anyone on the team's medical staff.
Back to the original topic. It's not 100% confirmed but look like I was wrong. Should have confirmation this week & will be known to the public next week. Hate it for Malik.
Unless it's a catastrophic injury like Napoleon McCallum or Robert Edwards, involving injury to nerves or blood vessels.
Those guys almost lost their leg due to blood loss or disrupted blood flow.
Not saying that's what happened to Malik; have no idea of his injury.
Rojo was a solid receiver for us. Not an ALL-SEC type, but productive.
RoJo was Tarzan. He just couldn't learn the offense. It's that simple.
Malik has missed several games for disciplinary reasons also. Decent player who I thought would be a difference maker but for several reasons he hasn't. Hopefully he will be that play maker.
Is it really that shocking...Never seen somebody that loves making blanket statements and then when he is wrong finding some buckshot excuse , IE things just didnt go as they should have because of da da da da da.... He will still argue that Miles was a better coach than Saban.
I kind of enjoy it. It gets pretty comical from time to time. I tip my cap he is good at semi-trolling /semi serious discussion. We all think its hilarious when it involves OM and find it insulting when it involves something you or I don't agree with. Just part of the internet, the quicker you learn to laugh at it the easier it will be to read.
Saw that Mullen confirmed the torn ACL...he said there's a chance Malik plays this upcoming season. Anyone with knowledge on the subject know the likelihood of this happening?
I will be interested to see how he rebounds from this. I have heard that he really has to work hard to his weight under control, so hopefully he doesn't blow up and get too out of shape while he is sidelined.
I assume Dr. Jones outta Columbus did his surgery. He did my ACL surgery & also cleaned up some cartilage. I was told it would be 6 months w/ rehab before I could play football again. Unless they have reason to be overly cautious I'd expect him back late September/ early October.
Of course, that was 10 years ago & I wasn't 1/1000th the athlete that Dear is. More sophisticated surgery & rehab methods + Dear's athleticism could shorten the time. However, OL don't rely as much on lateral agility so his slot position could give reason for extra caution. Just speaking from my experience w/ Dr. Jones.
not a doc, but by my understanding if the ACL fully tears then it separates, the ends pull apart from each other, and thus can't heal without surgery to rejoin the ligament. if the tear is partial, then it can heal on its own. that's what happened with mine.
