Injuries

[Blueforlife]

Zach went down after tackling the guy on the int.  I see him take him out on the sidelines but I'm upper deck centre so he got washed out by the sidelines.  Walked off ok but I have no idea what he hurt or how bad.  Any clues would be good.

Who else got banged up? Can't really remember.

Ayers got up slow once but that's a foggy one.

Stan got up slow once as well.

ZC8 tackled the guy on the Int. lol.  It was Nield that tackled Oladipo.

Yeah missed that live, I thought that he went down with them as a trio.  Thanks for clearing that up, the play ended outside my field of vision.

I was worried Zach tried to hard to finish that play off.  Hopefully he will be ok.  Did he fall on the sidelines hard there?

On the TV slomo replay, it looked like he landed awkwardly on his right/throwing shoulder.

With just his weight or someone else on him? I wouldn't get too worried if it was just his weight.

If he was doing the birds flying thing he probably left for head reasons. The ol' precautions thing.

Another look with different angles from 4:43.  Make sure you watch after the Txada knockdown & FG (at 5:23), because they come back to it in slowmo.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUao97PmCCA

Jesus! Talk about grabbing at straws.  It's football even Collaros looked great jogging off. Contact on occasion, or the ground hurts for a nut. Then it disapates. They get a week off, so they have time to ice or hit the whirlpool. They all looked good.

The same could be said when he got injured earlier and then missed 4 games. If he jolted his neck again we may have a similar problem. Initially it just looked like a precautionary decision and it wouldn't surprise me if he is limited in practice.

None of that means he won't play but it's the question of the week once they get back to work.

OTOH I think we can beat the Argos with Brown starting.

With Dru getting the practice reps, I'm as comfortable with him behind C as with Zac, simply because there is less injury worry, and what happens IF he gets injured. A cold backup with no practice reps is not good.

Its not Ideal, but maybe we ride Dru for the rest of the season, let Zach be QB2,heal up and come back for the playoffs.  By then, Dru has built lots of reps and is comfortable, and Zach should be as healthy as possible.  So, we won't be Dinwiddied if Zach gets knocked out.

If Zach has concussion issues there is no healing, he should be ok in normal life as long as he stops playing football.

The sooner we move on from Collaros the better off we'll be. Brown is just as good on the whole and the ball doesn't take forever to get there and he can actually negotiate the pocket a little bit.

Noone looking at Zach today would give him the keys to anything if they were being totally subjective to output this season. His value is his leadership and experience but that matters less than getting balls into windows and being able to extend plays to make throws.

Aards, Zach needs to play still to get chemistry with the new recs, like singer. And even the ones he's played with all year: there's not a ton of chemistry yet.

Since tsn was trying to play up Zach being against leaving the bb game, I would expect he tells everyone he is fine and does not miss a game.

Like I said before, I think Zach has decided that now is the time to go all in and to heck with the woozy brain.

Pay cut aside he might be an OC candidate in the near future.
