Listened to Brandon Taylor talk with Hunt Palmer about his injury and recovery. Nov 5 injury. Nov 15 surgery. Stayed in a boot for 3 months. Was able to run sprints full speed in the beginning of February. Was still timid as far as stopping and no lateral movements. Jack Marucci helped prepare a rehab schedule. Started running in a swimming pool with an underwater treadmill after every workout for 20-30 minutes. Has nightmares to this day about the swimming pool treadmill.

He was physically ok long before mentally ok. Wasn't mentally ok until the first day of training camp when he was able to plant his foot, put pressure on it and hit someone. All hell broke loose as soon as he knew it was good to go. Said he actually became faster and more explosive after the rehab. Jack wanted to put a green jersey on him for no contact and he refused saying he was going to be a full go and was out to hit somebody in early August. Says he is very confident that Sam Leavitt will definitely be ready to go come training camp. Feels he will be a better player after it’s all done.

Anytime brother. You share a ton of info. Always get something from it. I can’t always check in and contribute, but absolutely will when I have the time and find some gems worthwhile. It’s the best thing about this board. Keeps me from having to go anywhere near a bunch of the other social media when I don’t need to be. When TigerDroppings is good, there’s nothing like it.
