SunnySide 11-21-2019, 04:25 PM Like Bo Jackson?
Instant fear surrounded the connection between Tagovailoa's injury and the one that ended Bo Jackson's pro football career.
Yes, Jackson dislocated his hip being tackled in a 1991 game for the Oakland Raiders. And he had the same fracture as Jackson.
So, what made Jackson's injury so life-changing? The multi-sport star suffered from Avascular necrosis or AVN in the aftermath of his dislocation and fracture.
"What can happen with the dislocation is that blood vessels will either tear or they'll be placed on stretch for so long that the bone itself will lose its blood supply and that will cause death of the bone," Banffy said. "If you get it reduced right away, the idea is that will minimize the risk. But this is still something that you have to watch and it might not even present itself for a couple of months, similar to the way it did with Bo Jackson."
The statement released by Alabama's team orthopedist Saturday night stated the hip was reduced at the stadium before being transported to St. Vincent's in Birmingham. Reducing a hip means putting it back in socket.

Yesh ... worse than I thought in terms of chances of never recovering.
but I was right .. there is little chance this means he will be a repeat hip dislocator. Just a rare freak injury for football that doesnt happen very often. Perhaps once every 28 years.

Eh, with the small caveat that he might never be the same again, but I'm sure that's nothing to worry about when deciding what to do with your #2 overall pick.
Number44 11-21-2019, 06:07 PM I'm thinking Tua probably opts to go back to Alabama rather than declaring for the draft. If he recovers and reestablishes himself for the 2021 draft, he stands to do much better in the draft, IMO. I just don't think he would be a top pick and get a huge contract as of now if he declares for the 2020 draft.

That's my hunch too. I'm a SEC guy, so that would be fine with me. I doubt NFL teams will know enough by draft time to risk a high draft pick on him. If he goes back to 'Bama for a year and rises back to the top, he'll be an easy first-rounder. Waiting the year will probably be worth it financially for Tua.
skinsfaninok 11-22-2019, 10:34 AM Trade Kerrigan for a 4th and sign one of these 3 guys below:
8. Yannick Ngakoue, EDGE, Jaguars (25)
His 34.5 sacks since the start of the 2016 season rank 12th, and Ngakoue’s 79 quarterback hits during that span rank eighth. Ngakoue will be just 25 at the start of next season, has been productive, plays a premium position and has missed just one game in four seasons. Frank Clark, who received $20.8 million per year from the Chiefs last offseason, could be a good comp.
9. Shaquil Barrett, EDGE, Buccaneers (27)
He was a free agent last offseason and settled on a one-year, $4 million deal with Tampa. That gamble is going to pay off as Barrett has had a monster 2019 season. He’s second with 11.5 sacks and fourth with 28.5 combined sacks and quarterback hits. Barrett will be an intriguing option for a team in need of edge rush help.
10. Matt Judon, EDGE, Ravens (28)
He was a productive pass rusher in 2017 and 2018 (totaling 15 sacks in the two seasons) and has seen a bump in playing time this season. Judon’s 29 combined sacks/QB hits are third behind only T.J. Watt and Joey Bosa. His profile is somewhat similar to Za’Darius Smith, who left the Ravens in free agency last year to sign with the Packers for $16.5 million per season.

I like Judon and Ngakoue, I'm not sure about Barrett since he wasn't a factor for Broncos before signing with Bucs.. I don't think we will need those type of players since we already have Allen and Ioannidis, and Kerrigan is OLB?
That's my hunch too. I'm a SEC guy, so that would be fine with me. I doubt NFL teams will know enough by draft time to risk a high draft pick on him. If he goes back to 'Bama for a year and rises back to the top, he'll be an easy first-rounder. Waiting the year will probably be worth it financially for Tua.
Waiting a year also puts him at risk for another injury. He should have a solid enough medical prognosis by the time the draft rolls around. If he’s going to be good to go in a year or two I don’t think it will drastically hurt his draft stock. He will likely still go first round, teams love that 5th year option especially with a QB.

None of this...cut/trade Kerrigan. Move sweat to right side, draft chase young
skinsfaninok 11-22-2019, 12:38 PM Jon Allen hasn't lived up to his draft selection either IMO, he's been solid but he's not a legit difference maker. In fact I think Payne is the better player.
