Gaines out for season

[Sudeepvol]

ESPN - Tennessee CB Gaines (torn ACL) lost for season - College Football

hmy: oh boy

 

[crazyguy]

wow,
it's a good thing we're stacked at CB...o wait...

 

[TennesseeFan07]

That sucks

 

[kkep48]

Not good for a position we have little depth at. Willingham, Wardlow and Kemp will all have to step up.

If they guys stretched the correct way it would further prevent injuries like this from happening. He was a SR too, you think he would know this.

It's time for the youngins to step in and show what got them to Tennessee.

I know this is bad, cause he's a senior, but this guy got BURNED both games......

 

[BleedOrange11]

Will he be able to get a medical redshirt?

true, still hate to see a senior go down though. But it's not like we're actually losing a good player, but it hurts our depth

Hello Mr. Berry

 

[BleedOrange11]

Isn't Brad Cottam trying to get a medical redshirt too? I thought I read that somewhere.

First i've heard of that

 

[kkep48]

Cottam should get a med. redshirt since he's in grad. school

I heard that too. Would definitely be good for next season. Him and his bro as starting TE's. I could see him come in during the middle of the season though.

Interesting, I would like to have him next year. This year we could probably let him miss since Brown and his brother are both contributing

Stretching is going to prevent an ACL tear?

now don't get me wrong....i HATE to see any of our boys get hurt, but I would "like" to think this opens the door of opportunity for some of the kids to "show their stones" so to speak.

um, no.

If he gets it, then next year we would be absolutely loaded at TE.
1. Brandon Warren
2. Brad Cottam
3. Jeff Cottam
4. David Holbert
5. Luke Stocker
6. Kevin Cooper
:good!:

um, no.

Certain stretches will help prevent knee injuries and such.

I see Cooper being more of a pure FB but, we'll see how his hands are. Warren, if he comes, will prob. be red-shirted, since he'd been out of football for so long.

The offense right now doesn't have a pure FB position, just the TE/H-Back. I'm sure they could change that up pretty easy if it would help us though. You're probably right about Warren, but he is so athletic that he might be able to play right away.

Stretching is mainly for taking care of your muscles. The ACL is a ligament. I don't think stretching would really do anything to it.

he has had his good moments and these some like this one recently....

Gaines is in my prayers. I hope he has a speedy recovery and makes an impact for you guys next season.
