DeSean Bishop Injury

[MOOOOONEY]

Hope it’s nothing major, but it sure didn’t look good the way his leg got rolled up. It was good to see him back on the sidelines during the 4th quarter.

Bishop is arguably our best running back especially over the past couple of games.

Hopeful he can play next week as we will need him.

That was a hip drop tackle. Should be an illegal play in college just like it is in the league

Well they only just made it illegal in the league. But I was in the same boat as you there.

He looked decent walking it off, but who knows?

Absolutely. It’s the same injury effect as a horse collar tackle.

Saw he was back on the sidelines later

I thought watching it live, he hurt his leg before the tackle. I didnt see a replay but maybe it was just the tv angle

Nope. Hip drop tackle

He won’t be 100%. That’s for sure. Looked like a nasty ankle roll to me.

 

[SentinelVol]

Crazy how many people were saying he wasn’t a take in his recruiting thread.

 

[JRich]

I thought hip drop was the same as a collar. Swear I’ve seen that flagged in the NFL.

Agreed

 

[BradstarVols]

I think he's fine

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

I feel if we needed him he could have came back in, but we rotate our RBs and they are all very good (subpar game for Star though).

It isn’t arguable. He may miss a couple cuts; he may not have breakaway sped, but our offense goes so much better with Bishop I. The backfield.

Why?

Serviceable+ running back, (especially when our line plays well), but very good when in the backfield because he makes the passing game a threat with his pass protection.

Early in the season, Thomas lit it up. After a few games of film, teams start stacking the line against him and Lewis because they k ow the (deep) passing game suffrs when Bishop is not in, so they stack the line.

 

[D-Vols]

To me Bishop has been our best back all year.

Edit: posted this before I saw it. Please disregard.

 

[VAVol85]

I thought Bishop was grabbing his hamstring. Pretty sure it wasn’t a knee which is the scariest injury for me to see.

 

[OrangeEtBlanc]

Any update on Staley, as well? He had that awkward injury run blocking.

 

[D-Vols]

I believe Staley was deep back on the game-ending play. I have to rewatch it to make sure.

 

[farmdogvol]

The good sign was he was on the sideline still in pads. If he was out of his pads or in street clothes that would be bad. They probably took his helmet away because he wanted to go back in.

I saw that too. He had a little hitch just before he was tackled

 

[1Big_Orange_Fan]

The tackle on Bishop looked bad but thank God it wasn't a side-to-side injury. He hopped up and got off the field so that was a very good sign.

 

[I Love Lamp]

After the game Heupel said he didn’t think Bishop’s injury was a long term concern and also said he didn’t think Staley’s was something that would keep him out of the Alabama game.

Watching the replay it looked like a right ankle as when the players went down the defender was on that ankle. Good thing is his foot didn’t stay twisted as they slid it came back to its “normal” position. Also when he was on the sidelines he wasn’t really limping or anything.

 

[Bigorangefan 98]

He was actually jogging on side line
