Richt says Quarterman and Smith injuries shouldn’t be too serious...

[JHallCanes]

Shaq’s ankle is probably pretty bad because he has an unusually high pain tolerance. I’ll be pleasantly surprised if he plays this week.

Yeah that whole scene was hard to watch. We get a little crazy around here with linebacker evaluations. Shaq showed on Saturday why he is the leader of this defense and pretty much has been since he got here

I think everyone plays AR82 included

Shaq will rehab all week. He can be effective at 80%. I am confident in Mike Smith.

Mike Smith is a **** man...That son of a gun is a hitting machine

 

[Ver]

Never thought I'd say this but we need at least two of JJ, Shaq, & Smith
JJ will be the most ready

Has there been any mention of Johnson and whether he is hurt or not?

He was fully dressed on the sideline vs UNC and appeared eager to get in the game. Apparently, the coaching staff thought it better to rest him another week to make sure he did not aggravate it.

Man I hope so! Would be nice to give Kosi more weapons! You need them for rivalry games!

Franchise, I’d be surprised if he doesn’t play. I’d be shocked if he hasn’t been icing it, staying off it, in a boot, on crutches or whatever all weekend.

If I’m him, I’m not doing a thing all weekend except living in the training room.

Can we get him a quick consultation trip to Tuscaloosa?

You do realize he’s not a doctor and that injuries like what AR has, and also what Shaq have are notoriously difficult to predict as far as recoveries.

In Shaq’s case, have you ever ever severely sprained your ankle? I have. Numerous times. I don’t even go to the doctor I’ve sprained them so many times.

Sometimes they swell up as big as a tennis ball or two. Are purple and yellow on day 3, and by day 7, I’m a full go. Sometimes they hurt for 2-3 weeks or more. Impossible to ascertain soft tissue damage.

Same here, I’ve been spraining the same ankle every year since I was like 12 lmao. But that 1st time you do it, the pain is almost unbearable. Now I can turn my ****, have the bone touch the floor lace my shoes back up and usually I’m good. But that same night or the days afterward are a *****..on the replay it looked like Shaq has a high ankle sprain which are even tougher to manage

 

[NasaCane]

If Shaq isn’t 90%...he shouldn’t play. Hopefully the staff learned their lesson with Walton last year.

Can’t have some dude out there limping around...just to show folks how tough he is.

 

[atlantadan]

what happened to Mike Smith? can someone please explain?

 

[Coach Macho]

Mike Smith is playing his *** off.
