Wow. Well ok then.

This dude has been totally absent from my thoughts this season.

Obviously any notion that he could play a role this year is probably remote but I’m just glad to see that he’s actually available which means that he’s going to be practicing, etc. For some reason I thought he was still in rehab.

Absolutely same... I figured he was shut down for the year.

That said I hope he technically is shut down for the year provided he isn't going to see the field. No point in setting him back because we will surely need him next year.

Injury risk wise, sure. But this is a free year eligibility wise. Not sure if that's what you meant or not.

Shoot, it used to be they never did come back the same after an ACL. Now, depending on the severity and involvement of the surrounding ligaments and meniscus, 6-8 months isn't out of the norm.

True but some kids tear the other knee trying to come back... and I hate the possibility. So if we can stand it (and I think we can) I'd just rest the young man until next year unless he's Zeke 2.0

The tearing of the other ACL that you tend to see isn't necessarily from a lack of rehab or lack of recovery time but most likely due to a defect in intercondylar notch width of the opposite knee, which most likely helped aid in the cause of the initial ACL tear to begin with. Retear rates are all over the place but the reoccurrence actually isn't that high in well-trained male athletes (around 2-3%) who are getting quality physical therapy. The numbers become inflated when you consider the high rates of adolescent female tears in the same knee or contralateral knee within 2-3 years of their initial surgery.

I hear your concerns though. I say if he is active, presumed healthy, and can give the run game a spark....give him some carries in the next few games.

You seem educated on the matter lol... would giving the knee more time away from full go sports help though or is there really no benefit?

Yeah that’s my diagnosis too.

“I think last year he was a little frustrated as we went through the year and wasn’t playing much,” Ohio State running backs coach Tony Alford said. “As he was coming back from injury, he had some setbacks and things like that. We’re playing in the Alabama game and he gets a couple carries, gets tackled and comes to see me on the sideline. He looks up and says: ‘Hey, man, I apologize.’ This is the middle of the game. I was like: Apologize, what are you talking about? He goes: ‘You had been saying I wasn’t ready, and I’m not. You were right.’

“My health right now, I would say I’m 100 percent,” Crowley said. “You know, last season was a long journey after the Maryland game tearing my ACL [in 2019], and then with COVID, it was harder than what it should have been. I feel like everything went smoothly, shout-out to the trainers and everybody because I’m feeling good for this upcoming season.

“Definitely my cutting ability [has improved]. At the end of last season, I still wasn’t able to cut as sharply or as quickly as I can now, and that’s just come with the more rehab I’ve been doing, the more treatment I’ve been doing, working with the training staff. Honestly, it’s hard to tell right now because we haven’t put on our pads or really played much football. But I personally feel like I’ve made a lot of improvements since my freshman year even after the injury. So, we’re going to see.”

“He’s getting better — he’s really done a good job of committing himself to getting stronger, just more girth and strength so he doesn’t get knocked off his feet as easily,” Alford said. “His change of direction [is improved] and he’s had a really good offseason. I’m anxious to see where this continues to go.

“I’m really excited to see what he does, because Marcus has a lot of talent.”

Ok, Page 8 is too far down now with his reps increasing and he's looking good at that.

Why is no one talking about the flat release pass he caught for big yardage on Saturday? I mean, wtf did that come from?!?! Thing of beauty!

It's funny what can happen when a player gets healthy
