DMN JJT Blog: Impressions from the Cowboys win over Minnesota

[Kilyin]

I am pretty sure Hurd was injured on the tackle. That was a classic ankle turn tackle because the guy fell on his ankle and you could see the left ankle get turned sideways.

I'm pretty sure you're wrong, but okay. If you actually watch the play you can see where he twisted it long before he was tackled. I rewatched the tackle several times and his ankle was never twisted or turned, they were just wrapped up.

I don't think high ankle sprains happen just running along, that is usually a roll of the ankle which is different. It seems to me that high ankle sprains happen when you get your foot twisted sideways from straight line and that is what happenned on the tackle if you watch it.

* Bobby Carpenter, a former first-round pick, was on the field with 2:07 left in the fourth quarter.

How is that an "impression"? Isn't that just a fact?

I thought he hurt his right ankle. I could be wrong...

Maybe I am too.

Can we get Sam on the phone to straighten this mess up? :laugh2:

Pretty sure Hurd injured his ankle while running down the field, not when he was tackled. The reason the linebacker caught him from behind was most likely due to the fact he had already injured the ankle...

I swear, JJT is a toolbag.

I think you're right about injuring it while running. His locomotion is peculiar. And slow.

And JJT can be a toolbag.
