jester43 Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 i see he is starting to limp around out there vs. the cowboys. trust me everyone, you can flush the toilet on him for this season. if he is your fantasy QB, get ready to cut bait. i sustained the same injury he has last fall; it started when i tore the tendon holding my ab muscle to my pelvis (although i don't have 24hour access to an army of dr's and trainers, so it took me a little longer to get diagnosed). it is a weird injury. you think you're going to be fine because it just feels like an abdominal pull. so you keep training. but the ab tendon tear changes the alignment of your pelvis, so that the groinals get overworked, and therefore severly overtightend. so then the pain spreads into your adductors, whereupon you can't accelerate, and can't move laterally. the lateral thing wasn't an issue for me since i was training for a marathon. but when i did repeat miles on the track for speedwork, it hurt so bad that it took me 200 meters to get up to the speed i was trying to run. and from there it only got worse. i survived the race, but i had to cut way back on training just to get to the starting line, and ran a good 6-8 mins slower than my fitness should have allowed. long story short- in january, i had the surgery to repair it by the same doc (william meyers) who will be doing donovan's surgery. he is recognized as the best in the business in this technique. depending on the cause/severity of the injury the surgery involves one or both of the following: -stitch the tendon/fascia of the ab muscle back to the sheath that surrounds the pubic bone, where it will grow back together quite nicely. -cut slits in the sheath around the adductor (groin muscles) to let them "release" back to their normal length. my recovery from all this has been complete, but the process was SLOOOOOWW. so when mcnabb has the work done, it will be 2 1/2- 3 months minimum before he can play, because he will risk tearing the same tissue apart again if he comes back too soon. so as you have read, the guy is screwed. every game is going to hurt worse than the one before, guaranteed, and when he finally breaks down and has surgery, he will be done for sure. the only good thing for eagles fans is that there is no one better at doing the repair than dr. meyers. so he should be fine next season.
jester43 Posted October 9, 2005 Author Posted October 9, 2005 koy detmer huh? is he under contract for next season?

As for mcnabb, its pretty obvious that his season is about to be over, but hopefully he can bounce back as you have... This guy is a class act and he plays very hard. Hopefully he won't turn into a steve mcnair type of guy who plays 5 years too long because of injury.
ajzepp Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 koy detmer huh? is he under contract for next season? 470979[/snapback] I tell you what, I saw Koy play a good bit when I lived in Philly.....call me crazy, but I really like the kid. He's got a TON of moxie, and just enough talent to back it up. He's not the most accurate passer, but he moves the ball. He's clearly a better solution than a gimpy McNabb.
Mikie2times Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 Damn Jester sounds painful, glad you recovered. I really hope Donovan has the same fate, IMO one of the classiest players in the NFL.
