I do not have a great feel for the backup situation, who is going to replace Moore, and is it for sure that Horvath is second in line to fill in for Haldi.
I have a sinking feeling Haldi will not start the Maryland game. I can't imagine from being on crutches with a broken bone in your foot to playing in a game within the time span of one week, it is unrealisitc. From what I have heard from Novak and articles, would Carr be a good choice?

A stress fracture is a bit different than a real 'break'...I think josh can probably play through it, and the doctor gave him the ok so...we shall see.
im no dr but i wouldnt be suprised if he was on crutches only to play it safe until they really got evaluated.
I expect haldi to play the only thing i worry about is either him hurting it worse or if he doesnt play maryland stuffing the box ala ohio and making Horvath or whoever else throw to beat them
I watched the replay of the '03 Maryland game....Haldi took some massive hits from them last year. Our D-line is supposed to be suspect, it could be a scarry situation.
This guy has gotta be tough as nails though, that whole thing about loosing toenails sounds like hell! Hopefully everything will work out ok.
Yeah you are so right, he sure is tough. I still don't know how he finished the 2002 season with that hand injury. Someone made a good point, Haldi is not extremely mobile, and if the offensive line is the strength of the team, maybe just maybe he will be ok. Maybe in this game he will not be able to check off receivers, if the primary receiver is not there for him, just chuck it out of bounds because he can't get hit like he did last year versus Maryland. It is just the worst of luck because if you could pick 2 people you would least want hurt due to injury, my two would be Moore and Haldi. I think we will be ok, if Maryland does get out huge, hopefully it will be a great chance to give alot of playing time to people that will help down the road in the MAC championship fight.
I thought a fracture was a break of the bone though crazywilly?
My experience playing with Josh tells me he will be just fine. This kid has the heart of a Lion. His first season he played from the opener throughout the season with a torn thumb ligament. He is no sally thats for sure.
He will be ready and the only way the kid will come off the field is if Phil Voorhis takes his helmet away (as he did at Central Michigan with Haldi last year) becuase he rufused to sit out with a concussion.

Yes maybe this game he won't check off WR's...Brilliant... :chair:

Also 'dawg' a stress fracture is not a break as much as it is a crack, comprende?
Break = Straight through or broken, I have a broken window, My window is no longer there.
Crack = I have a cracked window, The window is still around, just a crack in it so be carful.
2 Sentences using words I thought might help.
I just mean that Haldi can't sit in the pocket forever like he did versus Maryland last year where he took so many hits. If the primary receiver isn't there, he just has to cut his losses and get rid of the ball. And I am sure he will do that because Josh is the smartest QB probably in all of college football, he knows his importance to this team.
A stress fracture IS a broken bone, get a clue. :withstupid:

Maybe the reason they don't call it a "broken foot" is because it isn't. He has a stress fracture in his foot.
Now for small vocabulary folks such as your self a fracture and a break are the same thing, thats fine, but for the rest of the world maddawg they aren't.
So no they aren't the same thing. :ownd:

Here is another sentence to help you!
There is a fracture in the pipe, a small crack in the pipe!
The pipe is broken, Well that one is pretty easy but it doesn't mean small crack!
I think its pretty obvious why you are an 8th year senior now.

Is it because i'm smarter than you? You figure wow, how did he learn the difference between break and fracture! He must have been in school 8 y ears! :rofl: :rofl:
Just admit you were wrong and take it like a man, it's ok.
Well I called my wife who has been a Nurse for over 12 years. I talked with one of the doctors she works with there who also does sports medicine for HS athletes. He told me that stress fractures of the foot are generally seen in the athletes and Military personnel. The biggest misconception is that it is broken. He said that is not the case. It is a small crack in the bone. He also said for those of you who run allot you may get something called a Shin Splint this is very similar. If not treated properly the Stress fracture will get bigger and wider resulting in a break of the bone. I hope this clears up this discussion.

Thanks for saving this thread.
Oh... good.
I thought the kid was just under too much stress! I was going to suggest a mini-vacation -- to help him take his mind off things, then be back ready to play.
Maybe some stress management classes---
But I see now that's not the way to go. :eek: :wave:

Hey man thanks for playing!
CPT D thanks for the info!
Stress fractures should not be take lightly. If they are not healed properly they can have problems for a long time.
Why don't we ask Frank "The big Skirt" Thomas and the White Sox about his stress fracture in his left foot.
From what I remember, there are various degrees of stress fractures as well. I will not be surprised if Haldi had problems all year with this foot. If it is that bad, I say let him heal and get him ready for conference play.
