Feel for the guy

Sad sad. Sorry for him

 

[DiderotsGhost]

Sucks. Felt like he had a breakout game versus Auburn, too.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Kongbo out....get well soon. Sure enjoyed your interception and play yesterday.

 

[GetEmVols]

So his career is over?

 

[BearCat204]

And it was a cheap shot. outlaw the chop block

It was clean and not a chop block. Do you know what a chop block is?

 

[90 Vol]

And it was a cheap shot. outlaw the chop block

It was a cut block, not a chop block. With that being said, I think they need to look at making these type of blocks illegal.

 

[tennesseepride84]

Hate it for him. So is a medical redshirt out of question for him?

 

[TheBigOne10]

Need Deandre Johnson to keep stepping up like he did yesterday!! Hate it for Kongbo though.

 

[MaTaLa]

Some kind of snake bit that this happens just as his name is getting heard on Saturday.

Not that up on the current rule set but the lick look like a dive at mid shin to me. If legal it still look like a cheap shot.
Legal doesn't always make it right and illegal doesn't always make it wrong.

Any chance he could get a medical?

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

That’s rough. I think that is why CJP made the comment, I have to get some clarification about “blocking below the waist” on the Jeremy Pruitt show because it happened to Darrell Taylor as well.

Both blocks were illegal. The one on Kongbo just happened to hit him right in the knee/shin area and got him. Officials can’t miss calls like those. Especially if they are calling the targeting calls they are calling. (If you want true protection of players you have to be as vigilant with blocking below the waist as you are with targeting)

 

[lukeneyland]

FML hope he recovers completely

 

[SobeVol]

It was a cut block, not a chop block. With that being said, I think they need to look at making these type of blocks illegal.

I agree even if the cut block is legal it is very dangerous if performed on a planted foot. Kongbo case in point. It clearly doesn’t take being engaged by a second player ( thus a chop block) to cause significant harm

 

[appvol]

Just saw it on the replay. It was a RB #27 that went low. That what a RB usually does when making a block on a LB or DL coming through the line.

Any chance he could get a medical?

Don't see how he could. I hate it for him. Maybe if we somehow make a bowl, he could possibly come back.
