Hearing Beaman tore his ACL in practice?

[arthurdawg]

Good grief if true. I hope Keenan is back for Wiscy.

Anyone have an inside information?

Edit: Same source said dinged but off the field on his own power. TOS discussing.

Saw the same on BOL that he got hurt after the viewing period today. Someone said ACL but the moderators haven’t confirmed yet.

Out for the year is what we're hearing. ACL.

This injury just increased the risk of .500 record substantially...

Who up next? London Simmons, a freshman?

Geeze, the hits keep on coming. Do we have any experienced defensive linemen approaching/more than 300 pounds available now? No promises Tim is even going to be half speed anytime soon even if he gets to come back by Georgia. The A and B gaps might get downright friendly to opposing teams’ running games regardless of coaching.

Best wishes to Beaman and Keenan on their recoveries.

Jess has sophomore Edric Hill but there could be changes that move others around, too.

Hill, Faga, Simmons and Mboumoua.

Renaud and Collins are lighter-weight options.

Could also move Overton over on some downs.

We get Keenan back for Georgia but some are now saying he could offer a few snaps against Wisconsin. But he won't be able to play more than 20-30 snaps for a few games regardless.

I hope these injuries are just bad luck and not attributable conditioning , next man up and make the most of your opportunity.

Given the lack of bulk, like Jess is saying below, we may go with a bigger rotation to keep guys fresher. Our biggest interior linemen is a true freshman at 305 and that shouldn’t be the case. Would’ve been great to dip into JUCO over the summer and pick up a 330 lb+ body at least for goal line and 3rd/4th and a yard work.

Are in-season transfers allowed ... now that so many other rules have been changed? We could surely use some BIG athletic guys.

 

[bamacpa]

The DL is already suspect after one game and I'm being kind. Now this...not good at all.

 

[mikeua69]

I really don't understand why we didn't hit the portal to bring in a couple of guys on the DL. I'm sure the staff wishes they did now...

 

[Joefus]

This is why cns thudded and didn’t take guys to the ground in practice. Intense injury ridden practices only to be soft on Saturday.

 

[CoolBreeze]

Well, this is the weekend to figure it out regarding Jimmies and Joes. Hopefully our D coordinator watched some film guy clips and learned something. But what we really need is some offensive production. I mean, can those guys learn to block in the trenches? Do we have the right scheme for a porous O line? Do we even have the most effective QB back there? Man, just too many questions for a simple fan this year going into game 2.

Right. This is what I am having trouble understanding.

 

[Bama Lee]

This is making me lean toward pointing at a strength and conditioning issue

 

[gman4tide]

Aren't a lot of acl injuries "non contact"?

 

[arthurdawg]

While having strong muscles around the knee can shield the ACL to some degree, you can't make the tendon itself stronger. In guys that big with that much force tossed around, you are going to tear them.

I think this was the reason we moved on from Scott Cochran too. I can check some old threads about that topic of conversation. Or just ask @selmaborntidefan.
