Antonio Ford?

[19deac92]

Any word on the injury to Antonio Ford? It appeared like it was a season-ending type of injury.

 

[TheIshThatSaved WakeForest]

Broke his leg

 

[19deac92]

Damn. The hits keep coming.

 

[DirkTheDeac]

The air cast was telling. Next year big guy.

So what's the state of our O-Line now?

So what's the state of our O-Line now?

One less player than when we started today.

So what's the state of our O-Line now?

Catastrophe. We are going to be starting a player with a torn ACL at LT and his backups will be worse than he is.

I hear that Doofus is still eligible for O-Line!

We're getting so deep on the depth chart Rulz Jr. would be playing had he not quit like a Blitch.

Can Jimmy Newman play OL?

Can Jimmy Newman play OL?

Probably about as well as he kicks field goals.

It was a bad break. Lucky it wasn't compound, but his lower leg was flopping around on the replay. possibly both bones.

Per dans blog, its a broken tibia. Thankfully no fibula involved.

I don't know a ton about orthopedics but I don't think it matters much if the fibula is involved or not. It's a very minor part of weight bearing. The bummer is he broke his tibia, that's tough.

 

[ONW]

Tibia is a season ender, rehab it up Antonio, we'll need you next year.

 

[DeacLaw05]

Didn't we have an offensive lineman break his leg the last time we were at Maryland as well?

 

[Classof82Deac]

Get well soon Antonio! As ONW said, we're going to need you next year.

So what's the state of our O-Line now?

Well, we should get Souza back for the UVA game. What's the injury status of Devon Bolling? (he was dressed out yesterday, iirc) I would like to see Intemann, Preble, and Goodwin get coached up over the next 2 weeks and use them if necessary. Their redshirt freshmen so let's see what they can do. I wouldn't burn Suggs, Smith, or Hayworth's redshirts unless I absolutely had to.

These three need to play. They need to get experience this year so we can see where we stand for next year.

Heard today that Ford needed two days of surgery. Hopefully he will be back 100%.
