thebandit27 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I can't watch when guys have these injuries I've been there (hockey injury when I was 15), and it's absolutely terrifying. I made a full recovery, but man it was a close call. I don't know that I'd go so far as to call it PTSD, but whenever I see a guy go down like that, it physically affects me. I am very hopeful that he doesn't have long-term issues. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Just now, Wayne Arnold said: Don't lead with the head, kids. Very, very true. That's what I thought seeing it live. If you watch the youtube video and slow it down (literally hit pause, play, pause, play) you can see he is going for a textbook shoulder tackle. When the WR moves to the right of the screen after the pass via his forward momentum, he also attempts to protect himself from the hit, and something happens with Schzier's head and the WR's back in terms of contact. .

Jerome007 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Scary results, and I immediately wished him well, but even scarier that it's something that can happen anytime. If he has movement in lower extremities, then he should recover, at least walk again, and that's good news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very hopeful that he doesn't have long-term issues. I had a teammate go through it in football, we thought he was paralyzed but recovered, just seeing this makes me put everything in perspective,it's tough to watch. It's even why I'm more livid about the Gronk hit. That could be Tre White we are waiting for updates on, a guy double his size goes full force in his head/neck region , disgusting, idk how I wouldn't return the favor in 3 weeks if I'm Tre White's teammate 20 minutes ago, Jerome007 said: Scary results, and I immediately wished him well, but even scarier that it's something that can happen anytime.

It is precisely why they teach you to tackle with your head up now. Kids in my son's' leagues will get kicked out of games for leading with the crown of their helmets.

YoloinOhio Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 I haven’t don’t it myself but a poster earlier in the thread said he slowed down the video of the tackle and he was intending to use his shoulder until a slight movement from the WR made him change course - happened so fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOTE TO KIDS: NEVER LEAD WITH YOUR HEAD It was bad tackling form, but I don't know that's what caused his paralysis. Looked more like they way his back bent backwards when he was falling. Side note: this reminds me how truly glad I am Aaron Williams walked away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 This news doesn't sound that great to me at all. It could be much worse right now, for sure, but he obviously still has really limited movement in his legs. Let's hope it gets better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Murica Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) Aditi KinkhabwalaVerified account @AKinkhabwala FollowFollow @AKinkhabwala More Steelers won't know more re Ryan Shazier until the swelling goes down. But Tommy Maddox had similar injury, made full recovery once swelling was gone. That is giving these players much optimism. 9:49 PM - 4 Dec 2017 862 Retweets 2,531 Like Some optimism at least.

Fadingpain Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Yeah, this whole thing is not going super well and it that was kind of obvious the moment the hit took place. If the guy can regain most of the use of his legs and get around OK, he will be very lucky. If he can't continue to play in the NFL, that's OK. Still hoping for full recovery for the guy, of course.

Alphadawg7 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 And yet people in some other threads keep telling me the players are owed nothing but their contracts. Statements like that make me sick for these very reasons. I stated that the team owes it to the Vets who lay it on line every week to start the QB this week the staff feels gives us the best chance to win. Several posters snapped back that the vets and players are owed nothing other than the contracts. What BS. These guys put their well being on the line each and ever week for the fans, their franchise, their families, and their teammates. Its about time more respect is shown to them, but because they get big paychecks people think they aren't owed anything. Even worse, those checks aren't guaranteed. Next time I see someone b*tch about a player who is holding out, I want them to come back and remember what this kid is going through. His career is in serious jeopardy and looknig like it could be over and would be losing his primary source to provide for his family since contracts are not guaranteed, and will also be battling to just have a normal life again. Prayers to him and his family. Hoping for better news and a full recovery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
