Michael Hoecht Achilles Injury (Confirmed torn Achilles out for the year)

[5ths the charm]

Lots of soft tissue injuries. Poor conditioning.

[TheBrownBear]

Ridiculous. Feels like we are cursed.  He's basically toast until 2027. 🙁

[Nihilarian]

WHY can't we have nice things????

[Johnnycage46]

Lets hope his impact was enough last two weeks with big wins, to still mean something come season's end. Really crappy loss. He was a difference maker.

[Georgia Bill]

Man that sucks big time 😞  Our D was really starting to come alive with him.

Look at what our defense has dealt with.

- Oliver done for the year

- Hoecht done for the year.

- TJ Sanders done most of the year

- DaQuan Jones out for awhile.

- Milano out for most of the year

And yet, here we are!

Man just feels like the von miller situation all over again…guy was a wrecking ball his first game+ back then gets a serious injury.

This is what happens when you sign injury prone players and play on fake grass. 
 

Hate to say it but only a matter of time before Bosa gets hurt, too. 

[Brand J]

The injury happened AFTER that stupid defensive timeout on 4th and 17, didn’t it? Talk about a chain of events.

They need to get Landon Jackson up to speed.

Too many PEDs

It was a risk.

It paid off for 1.5 games.

Having Hoecht gone for the year was the worst loss this defense could have in my opinion. 
 

He was the missing piece to getting over the hump. He brought pressure from many different spots and helped Bosa and Epenesa get open for more sacks. 
 

I wasn’t even that worried about the Oliver loss because we had Hoecht. Now with both of them gone not feeling good about it.

He brought so much juice to the defense.  This is devastating

After a big win and i just feel dejected. Like we cant withstand anymore injuries on defense. Like its not even funny anymore. They want smaller fast players but they are more injury prone. Idk we won and it feels like a loss. We get a guy he looks great ajd bam gone for the year. Max and Bishop better be careful.

[Success]

Like everyone - I hated that timeout.

 

[JMM]

Unbelievable.  He had changed our entire D in play and energy. As I like to say : CURSED!!!

As happy as I am getting the W in convincing fashion, this injury is really upsetting.  What a difference maker.  Hopefully he can come back and help us win a SB at some points. 
 

McD earned his chops tonight.

 

as did Beane.  Bishop and Hairston…. Wow.  Both were ridiculously good tonight to my eye

This is not medically accurate. Jayson Tatum on the Celtics tore his Achilles in the NBA playoffs. He’s an NBA player who played the entire season. He was in peak shape.
