Beason Situation "Dire"...

[bigdog10]

If he ruptured it, this is a huge loss not only for this 2011 team, but potentially for this franchise. Beason is our defensive leader and in my opinion will be hugely missed.

Let's hope it is just a partial tear and not career threatening

Could have been the best Panther of all time. This is just fuging depressing if it's a complete rupture.

Totally negates all the positive stuff Cam brought today.

fug.

Beason goes to IR, we pick up pat williams and tommie harris.

Tear :'(

I was completely unaware that achilles ruptures were considered career ending now? I mean, they're serious, but I was always under the assumption that you could come back from them relatively close to where you were.

We all worried this would happen. fug! I had a bad feeling an achilles tear might happen! I hope it is not but it doesn't look or sound good for Beason.

connor is a pile of crap compared to beason and you all know it

They take a long time to heal from and normally a full year. It is tendon, not a muscle and blood supply isn't as great. I hope it's not a full rupture, a tear isn't great but his recovery will be better and swifter depending on the degree of a tear.

The way he collapsed when King scored wasn't a great sign. i hope it was not as bad as it looked.

you should take the blinders off

Conner played well in Beason absence last year. And Gaither was pretty good when he played MLB philly's defense.

[MGH1989]

Shouldnt have rushed him back, now some of the talk about career is scaring me. Im not a docotor so I dont know, can you come back from achilles tears and be at the level you were, does it depend on the degree of the tear? I mean I know Kemo tore his and wasnt the same, but he was older and fat.

Posted that in another thread. While almost 2/3 of those athletes made it back playing level/time sees a drop off. So it's not really will he make it back (if it's even a rupture) it's will he be the same player. Either way my money is on the BEAST....

Kemo ruptured his Achilles' tendon, and returned exactly where he was, a very large, average DT. And he weighed 110+ more pounds that Beason.

Based on the injury previous you would assume its ruptured and its COMPLETELY on the training staff. In high school I strained some stuff in my hip. I was told rest a few weeks and you'll be fine. I felt 100% which im sure Beason did, then running down the field completely alone stepped wrong and basically destroyed all the tissue in my hip. Some one should have held him out and they should lose their job

I think he is comparable in run defense. Not as good as Beason but in the ballpark.

Connor is just a liability in pass coverage.
