Dungey still injured?

[OttoMets]

They gave him the good kind of HGH last week. It worked fast.

 

[patcuse]

he is still injured. what ever it is he still shakes his arm mid game for some reason.

I’m not saying he doesn’t have an owie but all athletes shake their arm after a bad throw it’s kind of a natural thing to do.

You benching 405 now.

You really didn't see any difference in Dungey's throwing between those 2 games?

Absolutely. 2nd half of Clemson and pretty much the entire Pitt game he looked tentative, indecisive in the extreme. Ball came out late and he looked like he did not want to throw the ball down field. There was also that stretch in the 2nd quarter where he put several balls in the dirt on short throws to the flat.

I said at the time that it looked mental to me. He looked like he was overthinking everything and not letting himself just react.

By the way he moved his body though, to my eye, he didn't look like an athlete with a significant injury. Something bruised or sore, sure. But not wounded in a way that would prevent him from throwing the ball the way he has in the past.

do you put the tape on your shoulder if you have no issues?

I use tape in my retirement community shuffleboard league...the chicks dig it

There was no injury. SU fans needed an excuse for a QB playing poorly. He was struggling with technique and confidence. (As he had previous seasons) Coach showed him the whip and he worked hard to concentrate more on his throwing technique and tuned into playing smart. Hope it continues.

He’s absolutely been injured all season and remains so. He’ll be injured the rest of the season when they then decide what to do next.

sometimes adrenaline (and playing for your job) can mask some things.

If he can play 80% of how he played last week to go along with no turnovers we have another 2-3 wins under our belt.

Well I will tell u he launched some balls sat. I was shocked and good for him. He was especially threading needles on some of those passes.

 

[shu 49]

The pervasive thread through nearly everyone's laments were that Dungey was injured and thus incapable of playing well.

Win against NC State...nothing. I don't see anyone saying this anymore.

What happened? Miraculous recovery? Did he take one of those vodka-collagen recovery baths? Did Syracuse hire a voodoo witch-doctor who is now on staff?

Somebody. Throw me a bone here.

I honestly thought he was hurt enough to not wanna throw the ball. But damn I was wrong.

There are so many people willing to make pronouncements like this that I can't tell if any of them are based on real knowledge. Does anyone here know the facts? If so, please say so.

 

[GooseMutt]

All football players have aches and pains. You carry some old ones and pick up some new ones. He performed and ran! Period

 

[Cuseregular]

Shy tore his labrum camp sophomore year he played all season... some times he would get hit and his arm would go limp. He would be out for the next play in pain but able to go. Some days it wouldn’t hurt at all until he moved a certain way or got hit a certain way

ding ding ding, exactly. Been teaching orthopedics nearly 30 years now that's my best educated guess too and that's my take as well for quite some time now:
Eric has to be hurt. The last two games he hasnt hit anything.

Not necessarily just from a hit or something, but from all his weight lifting being a significant contributing cause in the patient population I see with it and then a misfire throw into someones arm going the opposite way, or a fall onto your outstretched arm being the final straw.

You have labral tears and then you have LABRAL tears more the SLAP lesion type that can be big. You don't play through those. The smaller milder ones look like this and as many have said you can have good and bad days until post season when you might likely need to get it fixed surgically (like Terrance Roberts did with his "cartilage/meniscus" tear years back - its essentially the same stuff).

Lets hope one of his "good" days is this saturday!

You just can't state that as fact without any reference to its authenticity. If you have information please reference it. Why is he playing if he's injured, how is he playing so well? how is he taking so many hard shots? How is he playing so well? Why hasn't Coach Babers continually said he's not injured? Please elaborate if you have information.

fairly sure Babers hasn't said he's not injured just that the medical staff clears him or anyone to play with certain "owie" type injuries.

Close the thread

Absurd every direction

And I mean this nicely

No.

I get such a kick out of these guys that demand to know your sources...like it's their right. They can choose to believe it or not. Anyone who has been here long enough knows the posters who have some "insight" and those that don't. Thanks for sharing.

We have a number of contributors who have the extraordinary ability to detect and diagnose injuries through their TV screens.

Once the real or imagined injury is reported, we then have a host of medical experts chiming in based on their own experiences or of their second cousin's.

There are , of course, contributors on here that really do know what they are talking about when it comes to these injuries, their treatment and the likely impact on player availability. But it's all based on whether the player is actually injured and the extent of that injury.

Dungey's performance against NCSU suggests very strongly he wasn't injured previously or if so, it was so minor that by last Saturday he was healed.

What you will never read on here is, "Gee, I'm sorry. I must have been wrong about the extent of that player's injuries and the likely impact on the player's availability and/or performance".

i could be waaay off base but i never thought he was. i felt he was out of control. trying to do to much w/o his team

 

[DNABB5]

cuseregular has spoken

 

[tipphill]

Has nobody ever had joint issues that feel better sometimes and worse other times?

Possible that it’s overall getting better and he had a good day with it Saturday, as good days become more common as it heals?

Just a thought.

sorry the first line sounds like a late afternoon or late night infomercial

He has been injured. I wont share my source but it is solid. I dont know the extent of it and cant explain the drastic improvement against NCS but he has been hurt.

I hope his arm strength is back to normal!

I am no doctor, but his arm strength this year has seemed compromised.

I cannot explain his performance against NCS other than better pass protection and a lot of adrenaline.

 

[Halfmooncuse]

I don’t know if he’s been hurt or not but the one thing I’m sure of is he needs to stay away from the Kriptonite!
