Cam Jurgens NOT injured again

I saw something on this a few weeks ago. I don’t remember exactly but I think it had to do with “free running” or no shoes.

The theory was the our footwear, specifically the padded heel and thick soles,  prevent our foot development when it comes to strength and flexibility.  It was stated that the only reason to even wear footwear in endurance running was because of injuries associated with sharp/rough terrain.

i thought it was it was interesting.

You pretty much nailed it. Think of your body as a tree or plant. Your feet are the roots to what we do daily. I have seen many people with back, knee and hip pain have it all attributed back to having weak feet. Now does this mean to go start doing everything you do barefoot? Not really. It's a normal progression just like a weight lifting or running program. But the idea is that if your feet are strong and functioning as they should that it will keep the knee properly in line and functioning, which in turn helps the hips and so on.

This deal with Cam is something other than what is going on in the weight room. With the resources UNL has if there was any sort of warning sign I'm sure the proper precautions would have been taken. Especially given the events of last winter with the rhabdo episodes.

Sean Callahan said he heard he injured the foot when he started "cutting" again. Said he plans on asking Frost about it next week.

Good lord

i said that he would never play center because he was chronically injured in high school when it was announced he would move to center 

I made that comment months ago

Riley made offers to Nebraska kids with stars and national pedigrees 

not great  football players 

see jurgens and the Lincoln kid who played at img and can’t make the 3 deep now 

see all the kids at Iowa and Wisconsin who consistently beat us and the local kids he passed on

the gift that keeps on giving

My man, had Riley passed on Jurgens, he would have been flayed alive, Bolton style. There is *absolutely no way* you do not recruit someone as highly thought of as Jurgens was when they are, QUITE LITERALLY on your back doorstep. 

And, I'm also on the record as wanting Jurgens at a different position, but the football staff has forgotten more than I know about football, so I'll trust their judgement here.

You guys might be right...considering Frost said he could play Guard....

 
Riley passed on several Nebraska kids he should have taken

 Bryson Williams says hello

instead he goes for a combine performer who was consistently injured in high schooL and Broc Bando whose claim to fame is a stint at img where nearly every player is automatically s 3 star and broc will never break the 3 deep

pelini did the same thing

both were wrong

Should’ve gone after Bryson. Also should’ve signed Jurgens and Bando.

It's almost as if there's no mutual exclusivity between the two scenarios...

 
I’m very confident both broc and jurgens will never be part of a meaningful down here 

i wish them well and have seen both play a number of times 

frost is all about getting football players in who fit the culture

that is why he is in early on some kids who no one else is on 

bando and jurgens were combine and measurement guys

Frost just said last night that Jurgens is “the best blocker on the team.” I think he’s more than a combine and measurement guy and it seems Frost does too.

You could be right, they may never play a down though...
