Not sure if you're being

Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but either way:
Whoever thought anyone could even feign disappointment like this at the thought of Sheridan not playing?
The plus side: Tate will get many more snaps now, which will help in the fall.

In light of losing Threet,
In light of losing Threet,
yeah, this is a big deal.
Not withstanding all of the jokes, Michigan how has how many viable QBs? They are all without any college experience (OK, Feagin took a couple of snaps and seemed forbidden to throw), and other than Feagin, they are both true freshmen.
Not a good situation.

Depth is a major, major concern. It has been ever since Threet transferred. You have to presume that Sheridan was going to make amazing strides over the offseason in order to consider him a "viable QB."

Michigan is not too far from playing guys that were behind Sheridan like Feagin and Brown. Compared to Sheridan, neither is viable. Robinson, who knows?
If Sheridan doesn't recover, this team is 1 injury away from the abyss.
March 25th, 2009 at 7:40 PM |
Definitely not sarcasm
Definitely not sarcasm
Definitely not sarcasm. Yes, Sheridan was DEATH last year, but he was our only experienced quarterback, and I'm sure he would have been better this year. Tate and Denard might be DEATH coming out of the gate this year - who knows? What we do know is that if they are, that's all we got.

But its still worrisome, because if Tate goes out there and, god forbid, can't handle it, we then move on to someone with even less experience than him.

Sheridan adds depth we desperately lack. It's far from assured that the QB woes of '08 are as bad as it gets.

Here's a dumb question....
Here's a dumb question....
Why are [some] people losing their minds over Sheridan's injury?
Sure, he's going to miss the spring game and all the practices in between - but it's only March 26th and he's got over four months to recover from it until the rest of the 2009 recruits join their new teammates.
It's certainly a setback and that's never a good thing, and admittedly, I don't know just how serious the fracture is - but it seems a little premature to write him off for the 2009 season.
Just a thought. Maybe I'm not quite getting something everyone else is.

As to this situation. It isn't good, but it's not that bad. Personally I was one of the group that thought Sheridan would take the first snap against Western and then never see the field again. It would be nice to have some competition at practice. We now need to hope Tate doesn't get too cocky.

¡El hablador de español llega!
¡El hablador de español llega!
Queme is the 3rd person subjunctive form of Quemar, which is (obviously) "to burn." In this case, however it is used as a formal command (3rd person, usted is the formal version of "you" which is treated as a 3rd person pronoun, not sure if you get the point, but 'nuff said)
So, if you are trying to recreate the formal command it would be "Rompa las piernas," but I was never sure why it wasn't a more colloquial informal command ("Quema los barcos") so in that case it would be "Rompe las piernas." I like it best as "Rompe las piernas" because that also doubles as "breaks the legs" (as in saying Michigan football "breaks the legs").
Eh, whatever. I was just pumped because my semi-fluency of spanish has never been useful on this board.

Not a doctor here, but I have had more than a handful of broken bones thanks to motocross.
Fibula injury, quick recovery (relatively). Femur or tibia or otherwise...not so fast.
If these drills are truly no contact, I would guess it is a spiral fracture of the fibula. That bone is non weight bearing, it controls rotation of the foot and a good twist can break it (and screw up the ankle at the same time!).
Just my guess...again not a doctor but do have quite a bit of broken bone experience and broke my fibula a few years back.

If you read the Freep blog, Sheridan was in a walking boot.
When you break your femur, you don't get a walking boot. You don't get a boot, period. You get a giant fucking cast and a hospital bed to wheel yourself around in.
My official diagnosis:
It is not a broken femur.
March 26th, 2009 at 7:16 AM |
FWIW
FWIW
At the time of the OP it didn't say anything about crutches or a boot. It was titled something like "Sheridan has serious leg injury" with no other info. It was probably updated by the time you clicked it.
Anyway, sounds better for Nick. Well, as good as a broken leg could anyway. I wonder who broke it? I hope they start.
