Title: No Fowler update
Post by: bama87 on September 09, 2012, 04:47:02 PM
I think this injury is significant, because no news until tomorrow's pressed. It has been said by someone on this board that it is a PCL. It wouldn't  surprise me that it would be worse. I hope JF has a quick recovery. He is one of the hearts and soul of this team.

Saw a tweet that said torn ACL and PCL can't verify reliance of tweet but it would not surprise me.

Yes there are rumors flying around and hopefully they are wrong. :(

I've looked at that replay at the risk of throwing up, several times. It's not good.  :(

Losing Fowler is just terrrible but it could have been a lot worse but AJ survived his hits. I'm not pointing fingers at anyone as being the fault but I hope all of yesterday is corrected in practice this week. ;)

Indeed it could have been worse.  Arky had the worst "luck", but almost every team in the SEC games had some injuries, many serious.  Losing Fowler is a severe blow to our offensive plan, but it could have been worse.  

We've been fortunate that the O-line and other areas with thin depth have stayed healthy.  May it stay so from here on to #15.

My concern is the inside power running game. Lacy is still hobbled and now Fowler is gone. Who do we have as a power back to go up the middle for that critical half yard? Yeldon is not a power back.

Major concern.  Our goalline offense depended on Fowler, no doubt.  It'll have to be Lacy until someone steps up.

I wonder if we will have our best players in with 6 minutes left in the game of a blowout after this?

Problem was, Fowler was in because Reggie Ragland is injured too (like Lacy).  Who's next in the rotation?  Calloway? 
Fowler needed some reps.  Snap happens.

^^This^^

I got sick when they showed the slo-mo replay. I hate it I think he's done for the year. The knee joint is not designed to go in that direction.

Dee Hart was available. Also, I wonder if they are looking at moving someone like Calloway to RB. "Needing snaps' is a poor excuse for risking one of your most important players, especially with Lacy not 100%.

I think Callaway is the next man up. He will be used as a blocker more so than runner. We have plenty who can run. He is big enough to do the dirty blocking work.

Well one thing for sure. We had better come together as a team tighter than ever. I hope JF gets well soon. RTR!
