Prochazka?

[Pennsyhusker]

So Rhule said today that Teddy is once again "banged up" but will be back in time for the opener. No specifics as to the nature of the injury but must be serious enough that it would keep him out for the remainder of Fall camp. I am increasingly of the opinion that Teddy is a talented player but is just one of those guys whose body is not able to withstand the pounding of big time football. I hope I am wrong about that, obviously. Would love the guy to heal up and have a stellar year. But at this point who on here really expects him to last the season? I know I don't.

 

[Mrs HuskerHusaria]

You've again read the room. Putting into text the thoughts we wish weren't true.

I'd love to share a beer with you one day.

Pennsy, you should write a book.

Well never said how long he’s going to be out I’m going to hold out thinking he not out longer than a week..

Never verified what type of injury other than mentioning he was a little banged up..

Good news is getting someone else ready the next few weeks for the Gophers..

Can he play basketball? You can't teach 6'10

Made of glass....

Jaivorio Burkes comes to mind. If your body keeps telling you, you can’t play, you shouldn’t probably play. Teddy is 21-ish with knees of a 58 year old

My take on it is that when Rhule said that he was hopeful Teddy could be back by the opener that that was his way of saying that Teddy is most likely out for most of the rest of Fall camp. But you are correct -- it does not necessarily mean that and maybe his injuries are not that bad and he will be back sooner rather than later.

Still, I think my initial point still stands. The poor kid has now had two season ending knee injuries, comes back for one week of Fall camp, and is injured enough again that he is forced to sit things out again for an undetermined amount of time. Not a good omen.

Rhule said that they think he has a chance to be ready by the first game. But if not, definitely by the second game.

Can he play tight end? I feel he is just too tall to have leverage going against 300+ pound DL and he'll just continue to get injured. If he can run and catch at all he'd make an excellent blocking TE and would have a terrific size advantage over the middle.

He actually injured his right shoulder last year. So one knee injury, one shoulder injury.

 

[SLOHusker]

He looks pretty athletic for an OT. I question whether TE is an option. 6'10 is 4 inches taller than Michael Jordan. He is necessarily leaning downward to maintain leverage and that puts more strain on the legs. Shorter guys (6'0 - 6-2) are usually better run blockers and that was one reason the old NU lines were typically on the shorter side.
For the record the tallest NFL OL is 6'8 and the average is 6'5 (I just looked it up). Those guys are primarily pass blocking OTs. Teddy is just too tall unfortunately.

And for all we know he possibly could have rolled an ankle..

In any event, he seems to be injury prone.

stop cowering from this question. I know you see it each time it's posed to you.

FSU will join - I don’t have the exact timetable

Probably for 2025 season

Spare me your analogy of what happened when you weren’t even there.

 

[huskerfan1414]

Yep. Teddy might not ever finish a complete season at Nebraska. That's too bad and seems like Nebraska curse. Very talented. NFL talent.

I'm very worried about another player too who shall not be named. I don't think he'll make it through a season either, but I'd love to be wrong.

 

[Redmich]

They’ll fully merge, as predicted

I can’t be anymore wrong than predicting the PAC and BIG will fully merge seconds before ASU, Arizona and Utah go to the Big12

if Sims goes down we are screwed.

sure you can. it's binary for you.

B1G will house at least 6 Pac12 teams when it's all said and done. could be as many as 8.

making me - at worst - half right.

 

[scarletred]

Ditto..

 

[redwine65]

he seemed too tall, when he got injured against mich..(he did have a pretty good rush end coming at him)
put him at rush end...he can knock down passes...

 

[Mrs HuskerHusaria]

I like the beer idea a lot.

We can definitely do that same day!

I don’t think you know what “fully merge” means. It isn’t synonymous with “partially merge”

Not thinking of sims. But you aren't wrong.

I hope they aren't rushing him onto the field. At this point, I don't think we're going to see Teddy at max, again.

it's typical of someone who's backed into a corner to hedge their prediction (already) with semantics.

sad. expected more from you.

I’m not hedging - FSU 100% to the BIG. The only hedge in this exchange is fully to maybe partially and maybe being “half” right

Totally different circumstances. Burkes had an inherited kidney disease. Teddy IMO is just too tall to be playing in the O line. ☹️

Oh... Fidone. Yep

prayers for a quick recovery. Sometimes players come back from injuries, JoJo was hurt a lot at first then ended up a stud, same for Jurgens.

I don’t think they’re rushing him back. I also don’t think he is hurt bad. I really think it’s a case of them being very cautious with him.
