Alex Mack - Out for the Season

VaporTrail

McQuistan and Greco stepped up. We're gonna miss Mack, but I think we still can run it.

How would you not already know this? Did you watch the game? If you did, you clearly saw Alex get rolled up on and break his ankle....if it wasn't his ankle it was his lower shin. Couldnt have been more obvious.

I bought a pair of X-ray glasses once a long time ago... Ad in the back of a comic book.

Just not a dumbass. He got rolled up on, you could see his ankle break. Wtf?

Do we have reliable backup?

The O-line did fine...he will be missed but Greco moved over and covered center for the first time in his NFL career and McQuistan covered for Greco.

I just remembered a playoff game between the Steelers and Bengals where A Pittsburg player rolled over on Carson Palmer's leg. Bengals lost and Palmer never went back to the playoffs with the Bengals again.

Perfumed punce? You're trying too hard.

Losing Mack is a big deal, especially in run blocking. Pass blocking not as much.

That was an ACL IIRC. Yeah, if it's a fibula break with ligament damage- or any damage to his ankle- he's probably gone for the year. BUT- the Browns can do the "designated for return" on IR- get ready for the playoff run.

Anyone remember the show from the 90's, The Secret World of Alex Mack?

Not everyone is as perfect as you I guess.

Dr Hoorta sez- if it a clean fibula break- 8 weeks. (assuming all that is). A tibia break, or ligament damage- yeah, longer.

Nerve damage is a concern too.
