Injury Updates

[Shocker0]

Has anyone heard anything at all on the status of these players after the game?

Darren Kirkland Jr. - We all saw what happened

Preston Williams - Didn't recall seeing him really and some people were saying he got hurt in game 1

Evan Berry - He wasn't in on any of the kickoffs in the second half, any idea what happened? Hope he isn't hurt

I'm probably forgetting someone. God I hope Jumper doesn't have to play much or we might be in trouble.

Preston Williams dropped a long pass; so he played.

I think both Mckenzie and kongbo were helped off the field at least once also

 

[Vol Kilmer]

Fort said Kirkland Jr was in a walking boot last night, so that's somewhat optimistic. MRI will be the key if ligaments are damaged.

 

[Nationdom]

They put Kamara in to see if they would kick it to him and they wanted no part of him either.

Is this just a guess or what? I don't see why they'd take out Berry regardless. I hope that's all it was though.

It's a guess, but I'm confident.

LaTroy Lewis was also in a walking boot and on crutches following the game.

 

[Volnukem]

Pretty sure Nationdom is right.

Im skeptical as well -- EB could have done better covering those WR than Martin did --- why isnt he playing ?

 

[UTodd01]

DK being in a walking boot is actually a pretty good sign. Probably a high ankle sprain. If it's not too severe he could be back by Florida.

If we get DK and Chance Hall back by Florida I feel bad for the Gators.

Think LaTroy and Kirkland are the only injuries

Martin will be fine. He just needs to get his head around, he was in great position on both PI calls.

He is too valuable on touchbacks

 

[Shocker0]

Yeah I actually think Martin had extremely good coverage both times. If only he had turned around he likely would've gotten two INTs instead of two PIs

 

[508mikey]

yeah thats it

That's a huge if, though. Kid seems constitutionally unable to turn around. He's like the Derek Zoolander of CBs. He can be in the best position all day, but if he just keeps running into the WR every play then he's a liability.

 

[Carl Pickens]

I agree. He was right where he needed to be. I thought the 2nd PI coukd have gone either way as the receiver basically stiff armed him while the ball was in the air

 

[Lovesomebigorange]

Did Fort say anything else regarding Kirkland? Only that he was in a walking boot? God I'm so nervous about his injury because that's one position we don't have a great option for. Jumper is a liability and has no speed, misses tackles, maybe he gets the defense lined up right but that's all he can do. He is not an elite athlete.

 

[Vol$_Deep_11_9]

Martin was exactly where he needed to be coverage wise, he's just got to learn to look for the ball.

 

[Thou]

It's a guess, but I'm confident.

Read somewhere he was in street clothes by the end of game? (Evan Berry)

 

[norriscraftbasser]

I really thought Martin was better than what he is showing,must do things different or teams will challenge him al the time.

 

[JohnD13]

Pretty sure Nationdom is right.

Never happened before...:thud:

 

[Crazy Ivan]

Im skeptical as well -- EB could have done better covering those WR than Martin did --- why isnt he playing ?

That is debatable. That was a 6'7" reciever with speed Martin was covering.

Thread title misleading.
