Kiwibrown Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Fitzpatrick tackle on chubb was dirty. Rolling on someone's knee should be out lawed. He may have ruined a hall of fame calibre players career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
struby3 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 I dislocated my knee and tore my ACL, MCL, PCL, meniscus, patellar tendon, and quad in high school in a play pretty similar to Chubb's. Prevented me from playing in college and was a looooong recovery. Had to re-learn how to walk with that leg, multiple surgeries, years of physical therapy, will likely need a total knee done by age 40, etc. I felt sick watching that Chubb replay. If his knee dislocated then I just don't see how he ever plays again. Same thing happened to Marcus Lattimore. Note - I see a lot of people on Twitter confused about knee dislocations. A knee dislocation is when your tibia dislocates from your femur, meaning the bottom half of your leg is dislocated from the top half of the leg (my leg basically made a 45 degree angle to the side). A kneecap dislocation is when your patella dislocates (not a very serious injury). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifeelasleep Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 i wont ever watch the clip, best runner in the league and somehow he was still underrated by the public, hope the best for him and his recovery. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I think that's wishful thinking. Tonight sucks ***. It sure looked bad, but remember when Adrian Peterson was injured, he came back and was stronger than ever. He had the best year of his career the year after a knee injury. It sounds like Chubb is the same kind of warrior as AP was, so there is some hope for him.

His was actually a non-contact injury, but it was really bad. lSupposedly, he was really lucky it happened at practice because the medical team was there and went right to work on him. They actually saved his leg because they got to work so quickly. It was that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s ridiculous. Cards and ejections every game Rugby players know how to tackle though. Minkah didn't tackle or cut, he bodied his knee. I have watched hours of rugby and football, there are way less catastrophic leg injuries in rugby. A low left shoulder cut on the leg and Chubb ķeeps playing. In rugby Minka would have been penalized. Learn to tackle. A left shoulder to the abdominal he is OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Keeping in mind that Chubb had reconstructive knee surgery to repair his MCL, PCL, & LCL on the same injured knee in 2015, this could be career ending. Unfortunately I saw the up close replay this morning, they were not lying on the broadcast, it was as bad as you can imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time someone gets hurt, people wanna say it was dirty. You knownwhat was dirty? The 2 blatantly obvious face mask grabs by Deshaun Watson. Unfortunately in Chubbs case it went horribly wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think Minkah went out there to intentionally try to hurt Chubb, I mean, okay, that's a choice, but I think you're very wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't tell players they can't go high and then also tell them they can't go low. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
