Insider talk says it’s not nearly as bad as last year. I played and I know what a sever injury a high ankle is. He walked off the field and into the locker room without a limp, I’ve never seen a high ankle do that. He was supposed to be non-weight bearing for 10 days but he was in a walking boot 7 days later at the Arky game.

Cam Robinson couldn’t put any weight on his coming off the field a few years ago. We shall see but I think and pray Tua will be 90% or so.

I guess the Tigers that said that Saban was sandbagging were correct. TRant is so smart.

I watched the replay of him walk into the locker room on SEC nation this morning. I did not see the actual game time injury. I was watching aTm, hoping they lose. I saw Tau walking what looked normally and didn’t think he would have needed surgery after how he was walking. I have seen players play with ankle sprains before and it did not look bad enough to be something that would hold him out a game whether than have surgery. I think he will be back to play. I did notice one thing. That dude’s calves are huge. He must spend hours working them out. It seams like with calves that strong, he would be able to heal faster than an average person for sure. I think he plays at near 100%. I would t doubt that this has been overplayed so that he can get the sympathy Heisman vote. “ look what Tau did after he had surgery “ kind of thing.

Let me dissect this.

quote:

He was supposed to be non-weight bearing for 10 days


Non-weight bearing for 4-5 days. Because there was no swelling this time, this time was shortened to about 3.

quote:

but he was in a walking boot 7 days later at the Arky game.


He was off the scooter and in the walking boot about 5 days later. He was actually out of it the week of the Arkansas game but wore it for the game as a precaution if a player ran into him.

quote:

Cam Robinson couldn’t put any weight on his coming off the field a few years ago.


And played 2 weeks later. Another Bama player had this procedure and was practicing 7 days later. This is the normal timeframe.
This surgery provides stability and quickens recovery time. That's why it was created.

quote:

We shall see but I think and pray Tua will be 90% or so.


All indications from the beginning was his recovery is ahead of schedule. People inside the program indicate he'll be close to 100%.

I agree, keep in mind Bama tightropes all ankles. It’s a joke on the locker room, seriously

I don’t want it said that LSU only won because Tau was out. I hope he plays and I hope LSU wins but either way no excuses. Best team won. I just don’t want it to come down to a ref making a fricked up call like a unsportsmanlike that takes a td off the board that cost the game. I hope the refs are t even noticed and the teams are allowed to play. Not like LSU auburn but like LSU Florida.
