WarTim 3,456 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 When I broke my hip, completely torn out of socket, at first I thought I had a hip pointer. THAT is how painful it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creed 1,641 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Opinions aside, it's up to the doctors and Tank whether he plays or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it may have ruined Pettway's NFL career. Gus has no say in the matter. If they are cleared by the medical staff, they are sound and they can play. If not cleared, they cannot play. Think about it, there are legal reasons why this is so. As far as Pettway's career, Pettway did that to himself. Personal decisions were involved, not physical injury.

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Praying for Tank to have a full recovery so he can rejoin the Tigers. WAR EAGLE!!! Tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Win4AU 4,054 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Gus said earlier today neither tackles nor Tank have practiced this week. Auburn needs to survive Bama and get these guys back to face a winnable TaMu and an improving Miss State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamp Eagle 5,144 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 It would be pointless to bring them back Saturday if cleared but not 100%. The difference in the talent level and coaching between Auburn and Alabama goes well beyond any 3 players we have to risk further injury. Let ‘em heal and bring them back when they’re 100%.

aucanucktiger 1,794 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I'd be stunned if our med staff gave green light for him to reenter game (which he did) unless it was a mild, garden variety injury. Fwiw, at this point in the season everybody is hurt - so unless he's at risk of long term injury, this is the Iron Bowl and Tank at 80% is better than 99% of the nation's RBs.

He’s riding the pine if it was up to me. Agreed, we have him at least two more years and this year ain't it. Even if we beat Alabama we don't stop their playoff run and we're not going to meet all the ridiculous scenarios to make it into the SEC playoffs. Let him rest. Shivers, DJ, and MAR can get it done with some Bo runs as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUStew87 326 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Some of you sound like you have the same “play it safe” mentality that you gripe about Gus having. If the kid is cleared to play and wants to play, let the kid play. Legends aren’t made on the sidelines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think we, along with most other teams not named Alabama, Clemson, ND, tOSU, and Florida, have so little to gain this season. This is the second most apathetic I've been about an IB since I started following Auburn football. You're the most talented RB Auburn has had in 16 years (yes, more so than he-who-liked-spice-a-bit-too-much). Would you risk getting worse injured in a sure loss in a meaningless season?

toddc 13,194 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Tank is a competitive and tough as nails running back who wants to play if cleared. A player of his caliber would be sick if he had to miss his first Iron Bowl, so if he’s cleared let him give it a shot. War Eagle 🦅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnNTexas 7,157 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 From what I know about hip pointer it is very painful but not an injury that gets worse by playing. If playing could hurt him don't play him if no real risk of serious injury and he is cleared and wants to play let him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoALtiger 3,867 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I imagine he’ll play some assuming he’s cleared and medically able. There is no reason to not at least try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
