Happened in the end zone just in front of me.

Watched him on the sidelines throughout the ordeal.

He's a beast.

Re: LOOK: Saints CB Keenan Lewis played even though his knee looked like this
 

It probably didn't swell up like that until after the game. Because if it looked like that in game, there's no way, no matter what my player said, would I have allowed him to go back in.

Much props to Keenan and I'm glad he avoided any significant injury... but they all were playing with fire.

Re: LOOK: Saints CB Keenan Lewis played even though his knee looked like this
 

Hard to know the extent of it. Had my ankle swollen that bad and it was fine in a couple of days after hitting it on a basketball pole. He's saying he'll be back so have to assume it looks a heck of a lot worse that it actually is.

The trauma of playing on the knee after the injury is where the swelling came from.

Just means that the healing process takes longer, dependent on how fast the swelling goes down. I'm sure he had better options than ice + Tylenol to bring it down though...

Re: LOOK: Saints CB Keenan Lewis played even though his knee looked like this
 

That's freaking nasty. Dude's a stud to play on that knee...

Take that derrick rose

Re: LOOK: Saints CB Keenan Lewis played even though his knee looked like this
 

...and knee of an elephant!

Re: LOOK: Saints CB Keenan Lewis played even though his knee looked like this
 

Yep, I can't believe he played on that ... gotta' drain it twice now, once to get all the blood off, then a second time to get all the fluid that replaces the blood and woulda' been there in the first place without the further trauma. Maybe one more time after that, et ... at least, that's how they used to do it, maybe they got something more advanced going on now. :neutral:

I think somebody needs a raise...

That's the truth ^

Re: LOOK: Saints CB Keenan Lewis played even though his knee looked like this
 

They drain it then give them a steroid shot in the same spot. That's how we do it at our office.

Re: LOOK: Saints CB Keenan Lewis played even though his knee looked like this
 

I don't think he's allowed to take a steroid shot is he?

Re: LOOK: Saints CB Keenan Lewis played even though his knee looked like this
 

I think he can get a shot of Cortisone for swelling.

I appreciate the dedication but i prefer him not putting himself at risk,,, we lost Jabari and if we lose him its over for the secondary

Re: LOOK: Saints CB Keenan Lewis played even though his knee looked like this
 

He is a stud. Remember him fighting to get back in the game after his concussion last year? I love this guy!


Edit: He has the attitude of a rugby player........we just don't stop because it hurts. For us it's ALL about this one game today. We know we'll be fine next week.:dunce:

Re: LOOK: Saints CB Keenan Lewis played even though his knee looked like this
 

Does that prevent further fluid on the knee? I'm just wondering because I had this done as a kid, blood was in the fluid & they had to drain a couple times. Being the drainee (and young), I don't recall if they did a steroid shot or not, or if that was even the protocol at the time. It was not a pleasant experience, :neutral:.

Thought about something in that regards watching the All Blacks/Eagles match in Chicago the other week. Rugby guys go full out, full contact, yet don't experience the high percentage/type of injuries NFL players do. Why? It's the pads/protective equipment. Take it away, simplify, convert the NFL game to a more rugby-style game where the players aren't all padded up & you'll eliminate a lot of the injury issue, players will be on the field more, you get a more consistent level of play, a game that crosses international borders & is worldwide (like the NFL is trying to do), plus it'll finally make us competitive in world rugby circles ... can you imagine the athletes on NFL rosters being converted to rugby stars? Be the same as when they sent Jordan & the Dream Team to the Olympics, :).

It's a win-win-win-win for the NFL, the athletes, the USA and the fans, IMO.

old school baby. rub some dirt on it, walk it off. sniff some sauce,

gotta love it

Re: LOOK: Saints CB Keenan Lewis played even though his knee looked like this
 

That is such a true statement my friend.:bng:

As rugby players we stay healthier because we don't feel invincible since we are wearing pads. Also we don't have helmets to use like weapons on opponents...........and amazingly I don't think we have as many concussions.(although we do get them)

Personally, I think this tackle heads up initiative in football is idiotic. If you use your shoulder you have less chance of injuring your neck making a tackle or being hammered by a hard plastic projectile in the tackle.(helmet)
