Tucker Tapping Out

[BVille44]

Is it just me or does it seem
like Tucker taps out after every run longer than 10 yards?

In my opinion he seems to be playing thru some sort of leg injury.

I think that’s pretty clear, no?

I am just curious because the local news media and talking heads keep harping on the fact he had limited carries but seem to disregard the fact he is constantly tapping out.

Only two reasons to give Sean Tucker only 5 Carries in a game:
1- he is injured
2- coaches are very stupid.
And our coaches aren’t stupid!

he has been injured since the ville game. fact. and the hit he received in the Wagner game when he should have been on the bench didn't help matters.

Guess eventually we’ll find out if the staff has an ounce of confidence in Allen or Price?

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

It looks very apparent there’s a thigh and ankle issue. Started with that hit during the Louisville game.

I think they do but even a 80% Tucker is worlds better. Clemson set up to take him out on read plays and Shreder ended up with 20ish carriers

Not if he doesn’t get the ball. After awhile, it stops being a decoy.

It looks to me like he's OK running straight ahead but he can't make those quick cuts.

that would be an ankle then, you can go straight ahead OK, but cutting on it will cause pain

Sounds like a good pin point question opportunity for the Thursday call in for Dino. You run your fastest horses and make a team stop them. If you don't run your Heismen hopeful there should be a really good reason and Clemson taking "it away " isn't it. I think Tucker is tapping out after plays, I saw him do it. So why not the transfer? Why not more Allen? I get Anae has a history of throwing more but you don't completely forsake the Heismen hopeful unless there is a real reason.

LOL.

Yeah, Dino - the most transparent coach ever -
is gonna fess up and admit we’re using Tuck as a decoy, because he has an ‘owie’ and can’t run like he used to.

We’ll wait here, you go ahead and hold your breath waiting for that answer.

 

[Cuseregular]

It’s not an ankle, way too good lateral movement, educated guess is it’s a hip pointer type deal right where the upper leg/thigh/femur meets the hip joint. So probably deep bruise in the hip and leg.

You can play through it but it limits ya and is God awful every time you get hit on it again (which is why he taps out on every hit there on a tackle).

It’s called being “banged up” where you can declare yourself “healthy” as he does.

could be a rib issue too so stamina isnt as good

144 percent you are so right! Never ask any questions. Gotcha. So no one on this board don't ask any questions and same to any reporters with Dino except maybe about his favorite movie or song. Didn't say he would spew out the schit you said but maybe you get a nugget of info that we don't have like confirming he has been dealing with an injury but (shrugging) whatever. You do you. Hold your breath until I get back to you...I will be sure to hurry.

 

[FrancoPizza]

Could they wrap extra tape on his thigh?

 

[DPCuse]

Interesting that Tucker just tweeted that he’s healthy. Was that a little jab at the coaching staff? I was in the camp that he was hurt. Now I don’t know.

Yeah thigh bruise or something on the hip has been my thought. Feels okay until he gets hit then it hurts like heck.

 

[tptcuse]

"And I'm healthy"

 

[David321]

I don’t see Sean saying he’s healthy if he’s not. He’s a top NFL prospect, he’s not gonna say “this is my best” if it’s not his best. That tweet settles this speculation imo.

Nah smokescreen

 

[Scooch]

There isn’t a starter in all of college football who isn’t dealing with *something* by week 8’of the season. It’s a brutal sport.

Hopefully whatever is ailing Tucker can heal in season. There’s definitely something up. The tap outs are noticeable and frequent.
