Under Armour cleats reason why 2 broken fibulas

not sure that's it. been wearing ua cleats for years now and don't remember a ton of broken legs.
LOL at taters, too!
Some teams are turning to Jordans, which are getting good reviews from users.
Nothing I like better than a fully vetted scientific study.
Never knew why we left Russell Athletic. Craig Fitzgerald would have been worth 500 mil if he stayed at UA.
Y'all do realize that fibula injuries happen when the ankle is ultra supported & another area has to give way.
Sometimes, I wipe too hard and forget to wash my feet. Then, later when I'm smelling my feet before I go night night, I wonder why they smell like dookie.
I heard were using UA tape on the ankles and recent studies show it is too supportive....
Auburn, Notre Dame, Boston College, Maryland and UCLA say hi. No complaints. Just some people just want to bitch about UA.
Just don't wipe with under armour (or their shoes).
How would a cleat being cut lower INCREASE the chances of a broken bone? Logically it should be the opposite. A longer cleat getting caught and thus the fibula breaking under the strain. A shorter cleat may not be as good football wise because a blocker or rusher might push you back and you might slip as a back or receiver making cuts, but chances of injury go down with shorter cleats. Ankle support is important for sprained ankles and maybe torn achilles, but it shouldn't cause more broken bones. If anything increased flexibility with less support would minimize broken bones.
As long as they don’t look like doodoo ice, I think you’re ok.
Lol! He's talking about the ankle hieght not the cleat length.
Dillman's fault for not making the guys work out the fibula more. Don't any of you guys lift? We probably have the weakest fibulas in the league.
The great coach Darrell Royal was criticized for an unusually large number of players being out injured. The critic suggested that maybe Royal didn't have his players in proper condition. Royal responded: "Our fullback is out with a broken nose. Exactly how am I supposed to condition his nose so it doesn't get broken?"
There are rumors that Dowdle's mom tweeted that a Tennessee player twisted Rico's ankle after the whistle, but I have not seen the tweet.
I watched the play in slo motion and never saw anything dirty by the UT player. Likely broken when the guy fell on it.
I would look at the taping technique. Not because I think that is the reason. It's probably just a weird coincidence. But to rule it out.

I think it has more to do with all these pansy ass tackling rules. Can't actually HIT somebody in football anymore with any real force or they call a penalty and boot your ass from the game so everyone goes low on the tackles, wraps the legs up, falls on the back of the ankle and drags the ball carrier down- which leads to lots of stress and awkward twisting in the lower legs- thus more injuries to knees and ankles and the bones that THREE of our players have broken this year.
I am sure they did- we have a history of big injuries when playing the Viles. They try to knock your best players out of the game early... it is the Tenessee way.
I think it is just an anomaly (taters please reference your dictionary) that 2 of our guys went down with this injury. It just so happens they are both high profile players so this becomes a big deal. If it happened to Ed the offensive lineman and Alfred the deep snapper, we wouldn't be talking about it.
Well for the record I think there's prejudice going on here. Offensive skill players only ? I think there is a discriminatory law suit against UA in the making !
Anyone else in the country having this problem???
Losing players because of broken ankles?
I think the number of such injuries on particular teams is a germane consideration.

As a friend of mine noted too...Deebo wears #1, Crosby #3, Dowdle #5. Put #7 in bubble wrap now!
I believe Connor Shaw complained about UA shoes when he was playing for us.
I believe the injury to Beckham, Jr. would have happened in anybody's shoes. It was a terrible hyper-extension.
