Mark it down.... 456985[/snapback] I hope that comes to pass but I've never heard of any player ever coming back from an Achilles injury and being successful. People forget how good Cowart was before this injury. I'll go on record and say I think he was better than TKO. His days of domination ended with this same injury. I hope you're right John, but I'm guessing Takeo's Pro Bowl days are over. This is probably the worst injury a football player can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Boy I don't know, look at how Marino didn't have any speed after the injury! Actually I tore my Achillis about six months after Marino did, and based on comments he had made on TV and stuff about it feeling like someone kicked him in the back of his ankle, I knew as soon as mine happened, that was what was wrong. My friends thought I was nuts at the time, but thatwas the problem. And I lost my speed too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked like he should have been on crutches out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's early but statistically he's off to the best season of his career, after tearing his achilles last year. TKO is a workout warrior. I wouldn't be suprised to see him come back at full strength next season. Infact I'd bank on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikie2times Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 JULIAN PETERSON.

I wouldn't be suprised to see him come back at full strength next season. Infact I'd bank on it. 457153[/snapback] I was just going to mention Peterson also. He tore his last year in the beginning of the year, and now he's back producing for the 49ers. For those Cowart comparisons also keep in mind he tore his knee the previous year in Tampa Bay. He returned for the Saints opener and then tore his Achilles. Those two injuries nearly back to back would kill even the best players. Takeo has hope!!!

Mark it down.... 456985[/snapback] I'll only add that if anoyone can come back after an achilles tendon injury, it would be Spikes. He's a phenomenal athlete, that's for sure. While I loved Cowart. Spikes is much tougher, stronger and moved very well too, and doesn't have the knee injury to overcome as well. Yet, I'd still say the odds are against him and our hopes. Prove us doubters wrong Takeo !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His days of domination ended with this same injury. If you you never saw Sam Cowart play before his injuries, all you really have to know is after two devastating back-to-back knee and achilles injuries, he is still good enough to be a starting MLB in the NFL. Just incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
