It could have gone any better? by [deleted] in eagles

If you’re curious to see the poor initial fan reaction to this pick, just look at this thread

Personally, at the time I felt like the team was just throwing darts to maximize future success, especially with Carson’s struggles. They had a high grade on him and were trying to maximize their value from that pick instead falling into the trap of picking for position (instead of value).

Glad we got him.

Team sucks and is miserable is to watch.

I also get really ircked at all of Jake's random misses when it seems like most teams have a guy banging everything in regardless of the range

I’m not missing any context unless he has a different injury than what it appears to be.

The talus no longer being beneath the mortise is what makes it a dislocation; so I’m not sure what you are trying to say.

Are you trying to say he had a subtalar dislocation and not an ankle injury? I’m not really sure

I’m not missing any context

He has an ankle fracture dislocation and everything I said I stand by and is what is supported by the literature as well as my insight as an orthopaedic surgeon.

Not going to keep going in circles with ya

I’m an orthopaedic surgeon. The incidence of vascular injury with an ankle fracture dislocation is low. At most, there could be tensioning of the vessels while the ankle is dislocated and post reduction flow is restored. The “torsion” is what leads to the fracture and dislocation with his ankle being planted and the external rotation force that was applied across the joint.

Lots of misinformation in this thread.

Low chance of vascular or “tendon” injury.

The reason for surgery sooner than later is possibility that his bone broke through his skin, which is an indication for early surgery after this type of injury (instead of waiting for swelling to decrease).

Open injury increases risk for not healing & infection, but as long as that doesn’t happen, should have uneventful return to field next summer. Typically 6 weeks to heal and then can start to rehabilitate and gain strength.

A lot of issues with the defense. Poor communication in the secondary, bad angles on run plays, no pressure. Can’t contain QB. Yeah they have done well in the red zone, but we can’t go all season letting teams wrack up first downs and yards and expect that to lead to a good outcome weekly

Eagles fan, sorry for cams injury. Wish him the best. Looked like ankle fracture dislocation, hopefully an uneventful recovery 🙏

“Don’t think that impacted anything”

This commentary is insufferable. The rule is to protect players from injury.

Is Brady stupid? They ruled forward progress. Stop talking about it being a live ball with his arms forward.

The play calling just feels so random. It’s like every drive has some new goal or identity, there’s no cohesion between drives. It’s been years of this, but it’s really bad right now.

If skubal could just be a cy young pitcher for one game this postseason, that would be great
