Jameis Winston says “everything is going great” in his return from knee injury
 

Less than seven months after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, Jameis Winston is back on the practice field. He isn’t going full speed with everything yet, but it’s a good sign for the Saints quarterback in his bid to be fully healthy for Week 1.

Winston said his top priority now is strenthening the area around his meniscus.

Sims gives Jamay some props.

Re: Jameis Winston says “everything is going great” in his return from knee injury
 

Wow. Torn ACL. Rehabbed religiously. And is now on the field with his teammates just six months later. Without a massive contract.

Interesting...

Re: Jameis Winston says “everything is going great” in his return from knee injury
 

That's the same thing everybody wants for their team. A couple of bad asses...

Winston may be a bad ass too.

Re: Jameis Winston says “everything is going great” in his return from knee injury
 

Word is that he's wearing a knee brace and walking with a noticeable limp.
Cause for concern of him rushing his rehab to get back?

Re: Jameis Winston says “everything is going great” in his return from knee injury
 

If you were wearing that knee brace he's wearing you'd be limping too. :D It's one of those big assed ones like a lineman would wear.

Re: Jameis Winston says “everything is going great” in his return from knee injury
 

it's been 9 months. I wouldn't call his rehab "rushed".

What matters is that he's there, with his team, setting the tone and being a leader.

MT however will be one to watch for the start of camp.

Re: Jameis Winston says “everything is going great” in his return from knee injury
 

Agreed :bng:

Re: Jameis Winston says “everything is going great” in his return from knee injury
 

Not sure that’s right. Didn’t it happen October 31st? That’s seven months on my calendar not nine.

Re: Jameis Winston says “everything is going great” in his return from knee injury
 

You're right. 7 months. Burrow's injury was worse and he came back around the same time frame. I heard it said somewhere that he didn't feel 100% until around mid season.

Re: Jameis Winston says “everything is going great” in his return from knee injury
 

Here's the brace that Jameis is wearing in practice. It's hard to wear one without it affecting your normal gait while walking. It's less apparent when running or moving around quicker.

Re: Jameis Winston says “everything is going great” in his return from knee injury
 

Seems that having no limp would be better than having a limp, whatever the reason.

Re: Jameis Winston says “everything is going great” in his return from knee injury
 

It also seems that not having been injured would be better than having to rehab from injury.

The brace isn't to aid him in walking. It's purpose is to give added protection. I would think that it is better to have that protection, even if takes some getting use to (ie. limping a bit), than to not have the protection at all. He said he plans to wear a brace throughout the season. There are different braces that still give great support, but are less cumbersome that I would think he could move to later.

I just wish the part of Moore's Law that dealt with lowering cost applied, as well.

Let's hope it's applicable to all medical treatments.

Re: Jameis Winston says “everything is going great” in his return from knee injury
 

I just hope he learns his lesson and stops running unless it's completely wide open. Take the check down or the sack.

Re: Jameis Winston says “everything is going great” in his return from knee injury
 

It sure sucks an illegal horse collar took him out. Cheap friggin shot artist, no good tampon bay, brady butt kissing SOBs!!

Yes, I’m still upset about it and hope all those MFers get their clocks cleaned this year….Bastards!

Re: Jameis Winston says “everything is going great” in his return from knee injury
 

You should see some of the stuff these reps are bringing through the hospital. Medical advancements are about to be ridiculous by 2030. But like Guido said, the cost will probably be just as ridiculous.

Re: Jameis Winston says “everything is going great” in his return from knee injury
 

and the thing is, I'm pretty sure Ingram was open in the flat

Re: Jameis Winston says “everything is going great” in his return from knee injury
 

Maybe so. But Winston had broken through the initial rush and was clear to run had the tampon defender not made a play he KNOWS he’s not supposed to do. Josh Allen and Mahomes earn their living making plays like the one Winston was trying to make.

Re: Jameis Winston says “everything is going great” in his return from knee injury
 

Yeah, I feel you at the time I mentioned given that the horse collar is almost always causes injury the penalty should be greater at least an ejection, fine, and possibly suspension.

Re: Jameis Winston says “everything is going great” in his return from knee injury
 

Thing is... despite that play and how bad it looked, it was technically not a horse collar. The jersey was grabbed... and was grabbed strong enough so that Winston could not pull away. This portends to behoving a QB to realize his limitations and gracefully and uneventfully go down rather than attempt to fight through, somewhat like Aaron Rodgers does. We've seen over the years a number of players, and not just at the QB position, with an innate ability to feel tacklers and see them gracefully avoid them or go down sans injury. Maybe Jameis learned from this going forward.

Re: Jameis Winston says “everything is going great” in his return from knee injury
 

Interesting take Smash. This site thinks it was a horse collar…

I agree with you about players being able to “sense” these things.

Re: Jameis Winston says “everything is going great” in his return from knee injury
 

It was definitely a horse collar tackle. That's why the league fined Devin White $15,450 after reviewing the play.

Re: Jameis Winston says “everything is going great” in his return from knee injury
 

They did call it... and it looked like it. Maybe the rule includes the top back part of the jersey. But technically a horse collar is when they grab higher at the neck opening of the jersey. I am glad they called it. Doesn't stop the QB from sensing this kind of threat and reacting in a non-injurious manner. If he stops resisting the tackle and goes/falls in the opposite direction, maybe he doesn't injure himself.

Re: Jameis Winston says “everything is going great” in his return from knee injury
 

All I know is that Devin White plays undisciplined and reckless (he launches with the crown & tackles after the whistle) football.

Kamara, Ingram, and Taysom would agree with me.

Especially against the Saints. Borderline dirty.

Re: Jameis Winston says “everything is going great” in his return from knee injury
 

The rule was changed in 2016, I believe, to include the back of the jersey anywhere from the nameplate and up. Even if the player somehow senses a player behind them, they cannot know that player is going to make an illegal tackle that stops the upper body while allowing the legs to advance past the point of balance. Are you suggesting that anytime a player senses an opponent behind them that they immediately give up and go into a slide or such?

Perhaps I'm just not understanding. :confused:

Re: Jameis Winston says “everything is going great” in his return from knee injury
 

Kamara has some of that ability IMO. Only goes so far unfortunately.

Re: Jameis Winston says “everything is going great” in his return from knee injury
 

Yup. I remember watching Roy Williams end several seasons for players with that move. The penalty has evolved over the past couple of decades to become more inclusive. It is so easy to suffer a severe knee injury in that manner. I blew out a knee in almost the same way with a heavy weight on my shoulders and having my leg buckle under me when I fell back.

Re: Jameis Winston says “everything is going great” in his return from knee injury
 

That was my signature rugby tackle but after a safety review by the rugby union we no longer allow that tackle either. It was definitely time to retire from rugby because I'm all about living dangerously.:dunce:

Re: Jameis Winston says “everything is going great” in his return from knee injury
 

Here is another example I'm going to use to show you are misguided in your assertion that I am always out to argue with you Guido. This is a James Winston thread. To my knowledge I have been in 100% agreement with you all along about his potential, his work ethic, his maturity etc. I want him as the Saints QB and think he is an excellent option. I've NEVER argued with you about him.

How does this jive with your assertion that I'm always out to argue with you?

Re: Jameis Winston says “everything is going great” in his return from knee injury
 

Don't bother, Boston. We've lost too many good posters as it is. I don't want you to be next.

Re: Jameis Winston says “everything is going great” in his return from knee injury
 

Boston, you do realize that you are now arguing that you don't argue, right? Lord, help me.

Re: Jameis Winston says “everything is going great” in his return from knee injury
 

You would see it that way.

I posed a simple question. How do I always disagree with you when i’ve shown I agree with you in the past ?

Your serve

Yet another positive sign for Winston ...
