Emmit Gooden out for year with knee injury (confirmed by Pruitt)

[RockyTopTexas]

yea guys..... this one hurts
DAMN!

This loss hurts, if true. We’re already thin at DL. We need Aubrey eligible more than ever.

Not past the high school level. Do you think that the learning curve is higher for Dlineman than LB or DB? I would assume LB would be the hardest followed by DB.

QB followed by Oline. RB probably the easiest which is why it’s normal for freshmen RBs to play if they’re talented

Like what, exactly?

Hiring ****** coaches has nothing to do with luck.

Only a simpleton would chalk up a 15 year run of sucking as "bad luck"

Maybe it was just a nightmare, but I recall two years of a historically high number of injuries before Pruitt got here. Are you suggesting that was due to bad coaching?

 

[orangebloodgmc]

Lol.yeah because we always have guys ready to step in and do great.

Yes, hilarious to think any ever played both O n D before, ever changed positions, or stepped up when someone else went down. LOL.

Elijah Simmons, you're up. Kid's about to shock the world. All-American.

 

[Titan05]

Brutal news. Devastating injury to already the thinnest and weakest part of the team. Awful.

 

[BigOrangeAl 1979]

We are cursed.

the dlinemen have to know the different defenses, gap assignments, stunts as well as being able to recognize plays to drop in coverage and cover a TE or back out of the backfield. In addition to have 300+ pound linemen pushing and pulling on you. The defenses in College are more complex than HS for sure. I know in HS, we ran a simple 4 6 defense and tinkered with a 3 4 for 1 game.

Going the LotR route this quote works the best

Lawdy, make it stop!

Stinks. Who’s next.

Don’t forget Emerson. This will be his freshman year after redshirting last season

 

[jps2194]

Yes, this hurts but it is not catastrophic nor dooms our season. The d-line is the one position group that gets rotated more than any other unit. This will certainly have an impact, but I don't think is as bad as many on here are making this out to be. I seem to recall Clemson winning a Natty last year without their best D-lineman.

 

[JettVol]

Calm down kids..... it does hurt, but we will be better at DL this year than we were last year. GBO!

 

[Bluetick7578]

Tape him up. He'll be fine.

 

[VeeOhElEsYes]

Has it been confirmed?

My theory is that one of the bigger contributing factors is the diets kids eat today. In general over-sugared and over-salted, high carbohydrate, and over-grease junk. Stuff that doesn't contribute to strong bones, ligaments, and overall good health. It isn't just us but you see it in the numerous injuries on other football teams. Also in sports where impacts of all kinds demand body resiliency. Gymnastics, basketball, even tennis. Pre-digital age moms were right when they insisted you eat your vegetables.

And they throttled BAMA to boot!

 

[FLVOL_79]

have you ever played football?

Its not complicated...the ACT/SAT scores of 99% of the players in college prove that.

Has it been confirmed?

No.

I doubt either in this case. ACL tears are rarely because of conditioning or training. You see them happen to highly conditioned athletes and to poorly conditioned athletes just because of freak stresses to the knee. Wrong step while running or landing can cause it.

Agree completely. My first ACL was when I was in my best shape playing semi-pro soccer. I am sure they performed a McMurray Test already which is one of the first things you check which will definitely expose meniscus issue. If anterior (front knee) issue, all that will be confirmed with MRI. I am praying no issue of course and hope it is meniscus at worst case. I am really concerned if beyond that being ACL or MCL. Those are no joke.

 

[Bluetick7578]

COMPASSIONATE BUNCH OF COMMENTS. For a D-Line an ACL tear is a nightmare of an injury. Praying for this young man he's had a ruff road getting to this point. Yes it's next man up but you never want something like this to happen. Sometimes I think people forget that these young men are still kids 20,21,22. #GBO

You are officially on ignore. Your preaching on here annoys the eff out of me.

Nothing has been confirmed other than we know he's injured just don't know the extent and severity
