YoloinOhio Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 He came back toward the end of last year I think. Bills don’t play them until end of November unfortunately so he should be back. He’s a game changer on their D for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiltonWaddams Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Terrible luck. When healthy, he’s definitely a top 2 safety in the league. Missing the key ability of avail-ability. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 It seems incredibly strange how some guys can play a decade or more and barley miss a start, while other have a constant stream of injuries. I have no answers for that...... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2020 Our Year For Sure Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 This hit me in the gut when I read it. Sucks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2catch Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 He’s been good when healthy, but with that pass rush I think a lot of players would look pretty good back there. What makes him on the cusp of elite status is his ability to wreak some havoc close to the line. Sucks to see young players missing big chunks of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then other injuries kind of happen after that. You tear ur achilles and then you're significantly more likely to tear the other, or to suffer muscle tissue injuries etc. A lot of these guys spend a ton of time in the gym too building strength muscles. But I'm not sure enough of them spend enough time on flexibility. I remember seeing a diggs workout and everyone was ribbing him on social media, but an actual trainer said - he's building functional strength for his position, not just getting huge... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sprained my knee playing hockey 6 months ago and it took two months just to get back to normal running and I have to use a brace now. A tear is wayy worse and the activities and abuse football players do is not a good thing for knees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Really hate it for Derwin. Such a good player. Removes another obstacle from KC’s path to repeat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I’m sorry for this guy. It’s heartbreaking to keep trying at something, and keep getting hurt. As far as the PED comment, I never read anything about him getting suspended for PED’s so if just a guess, ok. PED’s can encourage injuries, but I don’t want to accuse someone of something if they didn’t do it. I’ve seen a lot of injuries over the years of guys on PED’s blowing out shoulders, knees, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you have a much greater force now being able to be applied without the body being ready to handle that and injuries are the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you have a much greater force now being able to be applied without the body being ready to handle that and injuries are the result. Matter, I know as I was a national level power lifter, held the deadlift national record, and yes Although I went in untested meets, I was at the top in tested meets. I saw guy after guy in the untested group blow out all kinds of joints, ligaments, tendons, meniscus over and over again. I’ve seen one guy have a compound fracture in his tibia and fibula while trying to squat 920lbs, and then god the three spotters were able to catch the bar as he would have died if not. People were vomiting everywhere it was so disgusting. I’ve also seen another guy completely rip both of his biceps from his and fly up to his shoulder because he was dumb enough on a deadlift, to think he should somewhat shrug the deadlift. Both guys were juicing on steroids, and HGH. I felt bad for them as they both had from what friends of friends DS told me life changing injuries. It is terrible and if Derwin, did this, which is a big if as I don’t know, then he learned a terrible lesson. The problem if this was tru is they are so desperate to get back or get an edge, they don’t realize the serious damage they can do to themselves. Thankfully my parents raised me to not cheat as I always in football, wrestling and power lifting never took a thing other than creatine, amd later learned that was bad on renal functioning. God looked over me as I’m healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God looked over me as I’m healthy. Damn that's impressive! I thought about competing because I worked up to deadlifitng and squatting some serious weight that put me in the elite category based on the charts I saw for my weight but I ended up hurting myself on all my PRs so I dialed it down...got my Big 3 up to 1420 lbs at 185 lbs which is pretty decent for a non competitive lifter at 41 years old but I couldn't do anything close to that now. Highest DL I had was 565 and I used to do 5 sets of 12 with a minute rest in between with 355 lbs...talk about seeing the white light...hahaha Edited September 1, 2020 by matter2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Matter, that’s awesome. I didn’t give my totals as I wasn’t making it about me, just I can relate to you’re comments if the guy really did take the stuff. Send me a pm and happy to chat about it, but very good on you’re part. People who haven’t pulled or pushed that kind of weight don’t know how hard and how much skill is involved as they typically think it’s just about being a muscle head. Couldn’t be farther from the truth on the team I was on back in the day. They were relentless on technique and it paid off. Have a great Day bud.
