Re: Army QB Allen likely to play with shoulder injury
The kid can fall forward and gain 3 yards.
Doesn't really matter who they put in there with that porous O-line.
Cole Kelly is his name and he has a cannon for an arm. His aim on the other hand.....

That poor guy.
He could get seriously, permanently, hurt, and sent out there by a guy who was born to play Benjy in Of Mice and Men
Anybody who's seen The Lost Battalion knows the parallels between Austin and Whittlesey.

How the hell did Franchione get away with that?
I'm glad to see that everyone is in the same page. Hopefully we win, he walks away unscathed, etc.

I think Allen knows the NFL probably isn't in his future, the Alabama game is the biggest game he'll ever play in. I understand why he's going to suit up.
no doubt
reading the article, I would have assumed this was just coach speak to make us prepare for both guys, and that allen would not play. It's kinda funny that it looks like no one is assuming bert is smart enough to come up with a strategy like that...
Re: Army QB Allen likely to play with shoulder injury
Have a bad feeling about this and whatever happens will be on Bert. I still feel bad for Mettenberger.....and this was 100% on Les....

Arky fans are saying team, primarily the OL, has quit on Allen.

Re: Army QB Allen likely to play with shoulder injury
A few years later, Earle pointed out that every kick was excruciating and Fran had basically guilted him into playing. Any remaining respect I had for fRan was gone at that moment. I sincerely regret spending time discussing the injury with him once I understood the entire situation. I remember him always heading to the stationary bike to work the pain out following each kick.
You always want to assume your school and staff always put the best interest of the players first and then you hear stories of the way injuries to Travis Carrol and Lane Bearden were managed leaving you just shaking your head. I am so thankful for the current staff and administration for bringing in the very best equipment for recovery along with a great medical team.
This was heartbreaking when I first learned this several years ago. I had met Tyler and Lane at an autograph session in Pelham. Lane playing through a blown out knee was the kind of gutsy performance you read about the old school players at Alabama. At the time I understood that the medical staff said he couldn't hurt it any worse unless there was contact and they couldn't keep Lane off the field because he was such a competitor. He embodied everything that makes you a legend at a place like Alabama and I was thrilled to speak to him for a few minutes.

Re: Army QB Allen likely to play with shoulder injury
I don't understand how it was medically cleared, TBF. To guarantee there will be no further damage is shaky, to say the least. You have a tibia banging around in there without mooring, grating against cartilage with every shock accompanying the kick. I just don't know how they could say "no further damage."
Re: Army QB Allen likely to play with shoulder injury
I disliked your post, because it makes me sad to remember. Poor Lane.

Army would probably play us tighter than Arky this year.

Re: Army QB Allen likely to play with shoulder injury
I've never considered that. In retrospect, it seems likely, although with all the animosity directed at Fran it also seems likely the settlement would have leaked, to reflect poorly on Fran, if nothing else. I never knew it was Bearden's preference to not kick, but that he did it at Fran's insistence. That puts Fran right back in Fulmer/Paterno territory as the most disgusting person involved with college football.
Re: Army QB Allen likely to play with shoulder injury
I imagine both QB for Arky will play (after AA gets hit one too many times). It seems from reading their football blogs that the O Line performs better (although still not great) with Cole Kelly in the game. Our defense should be prepared for both. Cole Kelly will be much more difficult to tackle. Maybe we will get at least 2 NOT's in this game.
