Overshown After the Game

[J12B]

Wouldnt he have been instructed to walk with crutches by the medical staff if they feared it was an ACL?

 

[phildadon86]

That's because Irvin wasn't human. His desire to compete, win championships and be the best was only rivaled by Michael Jordan

Quoting the great man. “Cocaine is a helluva drug.” I tore ACL and I woke up in an ambulance. It sucked

If I were superstitious, I'd say this is karma for all the useless threads about players from other teams being out for the year but I won't go there. Just the kind of unlucky play we see all the time in football, on any given night you can be down 3 starters in a matter of minutes. Love the sport but hate this part of it.

 

[phildadon86]

I assume everyone has seen this by now...

I saw this and gasped

The scary part is during the replay, Overshown didn't seem to twist his knee or bend it in a wrong way. It looked like a clean tackle without much stress on the knees. I didn't know his college injury history (which was extensive). This makes me wonder if his thin body frame is simply susceptible to injuries? If so, will his body be able to handle the physical rigors of playing in the NFL?

Say whatever you want but without Irvin none of those 90s championships would be there

 

[CowboysDrew]

What caused the death of the man electrocuted?

Ok, I'm dense, I don't get it.

 

[ConstantReboot]

He looked pretty good walking, but reports are he has a torn ACL I remember Michael Irvin coming back into a game for one play after he tore his ACL.

Coke helps alleviating the pain.

Just kidding....

 

[Cebrin]

Yeah, means little. We all hope the best, but soldiers press on until the body beats the mind. Very dependent on actual injury.

Lol it doesn’t work like that.

Our message board post have no ramifications on real life

 

[Carson]

His body language looked positive. Hopefully we'll get positive news tomorrow. Were we expecting him to start this season? Clarke and LVE are set but what's the other LBers besides Cox? What were we expecting from Overshown and what's the overall LBer situation?

He was not expected to start no.

But he would have played a ton

 

[Starforever]

Well hopefully an MCL and not ACL. Good to see him walking fairly quickly, however Ive seen people with ACL injuries still be able to walk around decently and even do some light sport activities like golf, etc.

Not worth to speculate until he gets an MRI, bur lets all hope for the best.

True, happened to me at 57, was still able to do most things. Did not have surgery until after a year.

2/3 of ACL injuries are exactly like this. Almost no contact. Lateral movement at the wrong angle with the wrong momentum.

I tore my ACL in my right knee. Two years later in my left. Both were non-contact injuries. Both times I could sorta walk normal afterwards, if I was super careful.

Such injuries have little to do with a "thin body frame." Sure some guys are more prone to ACL than others, but just as often they will randomly take down about anyone.

I remember Falcons RB Jamal Anderson walking off the field after an injury vs Dallas. I was shocked to read the next morning that he suffered a torn ACL. Learned then that athletes are able to slowly walk on a torn ACL.

What really matters is when the doctors perform the push/pull test on the knee/leg. They know almost immediately...

Ok, I'm dense, I don't get it.

From Google:

Electric shock refers to a non-fatal electrical injury, whereas electrocution describes a fatal electrical injury. In other words, electrocution results in death due to the passage of an electrical current through the body, whereas electric shock causes injury but not death.

Hope it's not a torn ACL. They're already so weak at LB.

I was talking about Rick James lol

All that and he plays extremely aggressive as well. It’s a valid question and we will see.

 

[shabazz]

I would guess that he knew that but skillfully applied Irvin to it as well. Kind of a twofer

Linebacker is such a collision position that you expect injuries. That is why you very rarely pay big money for that position.

Sucks that he got hurt on such a basic play though without a clear reason for the injury though
