What’s Up With Geno?

[WarHawks]

Out indefitely. Next man up. If Howell is as inaccurate as reports say he is in camp so far, it's going to be a long season. But hey, at least we have Walker.

The injury doesn't sound serious. He'll be fine.

The imaging tests showed no significant injury, he can return to practice when allowed.

Macdonald said that Geno is "working through a couple things from the other day," which would indicate that he sustained several injuries. How is a quarterback, wearing a red jersey, sustaining multiple injuries to his hips and knees in the first week of training camp? Something doesn't add up.

Excited Young Pups, we know they would NEVER, EVER have non sanctioned contact in practice.

This.

You don’t just bump into the QB at the end of a play during practice.

I coach middle school ball. Our DEs torch our scout Tackles…and they have gone as far as actually sitting down before hitting the QB.

Accidents happen but this is one that should not occur.

Not having seen the play I’d think it would be possible for someone to get bad footing during blocking and get blocked into the qb, especially considering it was during a scrimmage and not just a drill. Still not something you want to see but I can see it happening.

Sure, there's always the possibility of something like that happening. But from what Macdonald has been saying, it's happened more than once as it involves injuries to both the knees and hip. I find it hard to believe that it's all as a result of live contact scrimmages.

To be fair, there is just a little bit of a difference between the speed and momentum of a middle schooler and NFL player. I get your point though, it should be easy enough to NOT HIT THE QB. But it's not as simple as being able to always stop on a dime.

Definitely a difference but the premise is the same.

Accidents happen.

There are plenty of ways to challenge both an offensive lineman and a defensive lineman in drills that don’t involve the potential to accidentally bump into the QB. Likewise, QBs go through several progressions that are normally time-based (i.e., simulate pressure).

You typically don’t hear about QBs being injured in practice due to contact with other players.

An accident is not intentional of course but, it sounds like they need to reinforce some very basic principles.

Simulation is not like live action, your mind knows it's a simulation, there is no risk, just like a video game you start over or drop another coin if you screw up. To sharpen reactions, you need to actually have a risk, not saying injury but a repercussion. I mean if that's what people want then never play the games just draft players, have a computer simulate skills and scores.

Heard Geno is practicing now, so good news there
