nucci Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Humber breaks his hand and comes back into the game. I have no doubt that back spasms hurt. I'm not trivializing the severity of the pain. But a broken hand hurts just as bad, I'm sure. And he went back out there. ever had a back injury?

BillnutinHouston Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Carr is saying Del Rio shouldn't speculate like an idiot, he's a piece of meat and they'll want him back out there ASAP, and seeing his baby boys will soothe the pain. I have no problem with anything he said. My read as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I've had my back spasm/lock up, just walking around. It's not fun. Yep. Personally I think it's a dick move by Del Rio to opine on what Carr's injury is. Why not just say he's being evaluated by our medical staff and we'll hope to know more tomorrow? No competitor wants to come out of a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike22nc Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 This is why you DONT look at the stat box to see what happened in a game. I literally just painted you a play by play of exactly what happened. Starting 8 for 8 and having 3 straight drops by WRs right in their hands, 2 of which are for TDs equals blaming the WR's. They 100% are the reason they lost the game...its not even debatable. No mention of WHY they had no timeouts left? EJ and his regular lack of awareness.

JohnC Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/20887809/oakland-raiders-quarterback-derek-carr-leaves-game-lower-back-injury Some comments he made really took me aback. "I think he just got roughed up there," Del Rio said. "He got tackled, and something caused his back to spasm up. I didn't see much that would indicate that he would be injured, but his back spasmed up, so that's what it was." Told that Del Rio said it was a spasm, Carr said, "I'm glad he knows. That's awesome." "It won't be fun," Carr said of the flight back to Oakland. "But at the end of the day, no one really cares. I'll do my best to get comfortable, but as soon as I see my two baby boys, it will feel a little bit better." I don't know boo about the guy, but he comes off as a dick, to me. He's deeply religious.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 No mention of WHY they had no timeouts left? EJ and his regular lack of awareness. I didn't see it, but from what I read yesterday coming in from the cold ... EJ was on target and driving down the field until he got INT'd at the end of the game. how odd is it that the people calling other people TT haters are some of the worst EJ haters here? EJ is gone, Gilmore is gone, Sammy is gone. Move along people there's nothing to see here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimp Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 "At first, you're like, 'Oh my gosh, what the heck?' But you kind of give it a little bit and let as much of the pain wear off as it can and go from there. I tried to come in and let [trainers] work on it. I tried to throw and those kinds of things. It just wasn't ready yet -- not saying it won't be [ready next week]. It just wasn't ready today. I tried to do anything I could to be back out there, but I just couldn't." What is it with these young players having to proclaim that they're not going in until they say they're ready? Pretty selfish, if you ask me. EDIT: And who the hell says, "oh my gosh, what the heck?" Fake ass. Come out and say it you raging bigot. He's a Christian and you can't deal with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolishDave Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I've had my back spasm/lock up, just walking around. It's not fun. I'm wondering why they are even calling it back spasms? In the video of the play, he took a knee to his lower back. You could see him reach his hand back there and squirm a little bit like he was in pain. I am no expert, but I thought spasms were totally different from a bruised back. I thought spasms were twitchy muscles. Seems more like an impact injury to me. But, just guessing from what I saw.

mike22nc Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) Actually they only had 1 timeout when EJ entered the game, so putting it on him is a bit silly don't you agree? Do you not think the circumstances under which the third timeout was taken show a lack of awareness by the QB? You'll find no argument that he threw some nice balls. Not mentioning the TO seems like a weird omission. Edited October 2, 2017 by mike22nc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cba fan Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) Carr was so intent on tidying up that day, on Oct. 25, 2015, that by the time Jones saw him, the quarterback had two armfuls of wrappers, plastic cups and discarded beer bottles. “He was about to go out on the field and he was looking for a trash can. He couldn’t find one,” Jones recalled. “I said, ‘Derek, why don’t you let me take care of that? I know you have to go play the second half.’ He just looked at me, like, ‘Thank you’ and ran out to the field.” Kind of Anti Raider no? It is only in the coddled world of entertainment/Hollywood/sports/music/NFL, that something any reasonable person who was raised by good parents would be excepted to do like "pick up after himself", is celebrated and newsworthy when someone does it vs scorned when they do not. Makes you wonder how jerky all these celebrities really are. Same goes for the clubhouse attendant who offered to help the guy. He is a good person also just like Carr. I'm wondering why they are even calling it back spasms? In the video of the play, he took a knee to his lower back. You could see him reach his hand back there and squirm a little bit like he was in pain. I am no expert, but I thought spasms were totally different from a bruised back. I thought spasms were twitchy muscles. Seems more like an impact injury to me. But, just guessing from what I saw. It is twitchy muscles. It appeared Carr twitched them by stretching awkwardly on the fall. I didn't see it, but from what I read yesterday coming in from the cold ... EJ was on target and driving down the field until he got INT'd at the end of the game. how odd is it that the people calling other people TT haters are some of the worst EJ haters here? EJ is gone, Gilmore is gone, Sammy is gone. Move along people there's nothing to see here. EJ looked real good. Completed his first 8. That last INT he was clearly throwing it up for a contested catch which his WR failed at. Rogers and Brady do this, all, the, time.

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Back spasms suuuuuck. No defining injury for me, but pretty sure the service industry slowly borked up my back and hips. Long hours, lots of standing, improper footwear, young and not paying attention to that sorta thing. So....why is Carr a dick? ....not to mention affecting your leg movement.....the torque to that region during dropbacks, rollouts and scrambles has to be painful as hell......

PolishDave Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) It is twitchy muscles. It appeared Carr twitched them by stretching awkwardly on the fall. If you watch the video, it shows a Denver tackler flying into the scene and kneeing Carr in the back (somewhere near the kidney area). Immediately after the knee impact, Carr reaches around with his hand and grabs the same exact spot on his back where the knee impacted and twinges in pain. So if kneeing a person in the back causes spasms, I guess I could believe it is spasms. Just seems like they would have said it is a contusion instead of spasms. Del Rio said "something caused his back to spasm up" I am guess that Del Rio said that not realizing he got kneed in the back. And that also might be why Carr responded with the comment "I'm glad he knows. That's awesome." Would make sense why he made the smart ass remark.

Tenhigh Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Back injuries SUCK, and the worst thing is that he can't take the kind of meds that really help, specifically steroids. Sure, he shoot off to planet Krypton on a handful of Oxy's, but only a big batch of prednisone makes you feel well again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
