Re: Ellington to Play for Ga. State
That's a real competitor, he has been so much for that program. I hope he is able to make it through the game.

Re: Ellington to Play for Ga. State
Headline on Sunday: Georgia State's Ellington out for rest of season with ACL injury.
I know it's a big game, but that's smoking next to a gas tank.

Re: Ellington to Play for Ga. State
Not a fan of a player going out there injured but I agree that I hope he doesn’t make it worse. Glad he is ready to go. I’m sure we have prepared for him to play.

Re: Ellington to Play for Ga. State
Think it's safe to say they will be ready to play, going to be a lot of emotion on that side. We are going to have to match it, this should be an exciting game.

Re: Ellington to Play for Ga. State
If this is true, Elliott is a snake. He is selling out the health of his qb to try and beat us. Really bad idea

Re: Ellington to Play for Ga. State
Sometimes coaches need to save players from themselves. This seems to be one of those times.

Re: Ellington to Play for Ga. State
As an athletic trainer I see this: 1) he can't injure it any worse unless he rips one of the other 3 ligaments; 2) it's time to "fish or cut bait" for the SBC championship; 3) the current state of the art ACL braces are pretty darn good so there's that going for him. That being said I'd question his mobility because it won't be 100%. Prepare for him to play as if he's full-strength and then adjust.
We don't slide at Appalachian State. It's a sign of weakness.

Re: Ellington to Play for Ga. State
I ask these questions not out of fear, but compassion... What kind of doctor gives this clearance?! Is this even legal, much less humane?!... Finally, how much is a divisional championship really worth?!?! SMH! Oh well, regardless, the blood’s on their hands, not ours...

Does this not put him at a higher risk of nuking his MCL, LCL, PCL?scatman77 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 16, 2019 12:00 pmAs an athletic trainer I see this: 1) he can't injure it any worse unless he rips one of the other 3 ligaments; 2) it's time to "fish or cut bait" for the SBC championship; 3) the current state of the art ACL braces are pretty darn good so there's that going for him.

Re: Ellington to Play for Ga. State
Possibly but as I stated the ACL braces are pretty darn good; much better than 20 years ago. It's just a chance he's willing to take, I guess.yosef69 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 16, 2019 12:09 pmDoes this not put him at a higher risk of nuking his MCL, LCL, PCL?scatman77 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 16, 2019 12:00 pmAs an athletic trainer I see this: 1) he can't injure it any worse unless he rips one of the other 3 ligaments; 2) it's time to "fish or cut bait" for the SBC championship; 3) the current state of the art ACL braces are pretty darn good so there's that going for him.

Re: Ellington to Play for Ga. State
See my post in reply to another. He is not the first athlete to play with a torn ACL and a brace. Granted football is a totally different sport from basketball or baseball or volleyball.booneboy92 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 16, 2019 12:05 pmI ask these questions not out of fear, but compassion...

Re: Ellington to Play for Ga. State
Isn’t the deal with a torn ACL that you can run forward but lateral is the problem? I really don’t think he is going to be nearly enough. Dumb decision. I’m willing to bet this is a ploy to try to mess with our defensive preparations

That’s nothing, Richie Williams won a national Championship with an amputated leg.

Re: Ellington to Play for Ga. State
Either the kid is going to play with an ACL tear, not be very good, and risk injuring himself further; or the team was lying about him having a torn ACL, and they’re a bunch of punks.
Either way, App is going to beat the brakes off of them.
