Froholdt

[MS_HogFan]

I was surprised Froholdt came back in the game yesterday. He looked like he was unconscious for at least a little bit.

Has anyone heard anything about that?

[PorkRinds]

In before someone claims CBB put his life in danger by putting him back in and therefore doesn't care about player safety, making him a huge hypocrite.

[Lake City Hog]

I'm guessing that you can get knocked out and not concussed. Not the same thing at all.

[ckhawgu]

He was also completely blown up several times after coming back in the game! He clearly looked like he was not able to perform at 100% after that vicious helmet shot he took to the facemask and chin! We have coaching at it's finest folks from our sidelines folks...

[Ex-Trumpet]

Someone needs to say it so I will...Froholdt has shown remarkable improvement over where he was in September--even October.

I look for him to be a huge asset on the o-line next year; but, I'm not sure today if he wouldn't have been a bigger asset on the defensive line.

[hogsgolfpro]

Will they attempt to move him back to defense assuming we are able to fill the O line for 2017?

He will be an anchor on the OL next year.

I don't know anything about concussions. Maybe that is the case.

When it happened I thought he was done for the day.

Definitely improved...we seem to pull with him quite a bit and he is pretty quick once downfield.

Agreed-- And if you can't see that, you know nothing about OL play.

agreed; he's made good on getting better throughout the year. before the injury yesterday, he had his man 10 yards downfield on several occasions. he's come along pretty good.

say what?? I have seen him on many occasion, come out of his stance at the snap, put his right hand on fellow linemans shoulder pads like he is helping him with a man that is "blocked" . All the while a defender comes right by him totally untouched.!! FRoholdt is not even engaged in a block. he is just standing there with his hand on his teammates shoulder pad. This happens every game and it happened  Friday too. he cant pass block. He couldnt play D because he got too heavy. This whole defense is SOFT SOFT

[texhog22]

If BB throws Austin Allen under the bus one more time im done. AA knows that if he doesnt make the play and the drive stalls the D cant stop them, so hes made some bad throws under tremendous pressure. He KNOWS we have to score to win. All year teams have smoked our D in the second half

[WorfHog]

As many blocks as he misses you'd think we'd be better when he's out. Poor kid, he was a great DE out of HS. This staff bulked him up too much like MANY others.

How did CBB throw Allen under the bus?

[BoarnSupremacy]

I thought the OL may have issues when they switched him from DL to OL.

Thank you for saying that..kid has potential and was put in a bad situation. He showed his ability to turn it into a positive.

You get KOed, you get a concussion. Somehow he passed the protocol tests....

Not true. One of the easiest ways to be knocked out is from a hit on the chin.  A hit to the chin isn't likely to cause brain trauma.

Bloody nose too. I don't think he was ever out.

Sorry but your obviously confused he was a 290lb DT in highschool

  Reference please.  You don't even have to be hit in the head to get a concussion.

[pigtrino]

I doubt he was ever out if he came back into the game.  That would be a tremendous amount of liability.

You get clocked on the chin you are getting a concussion whether you know it or not. The force of your own jaw and teeth pushing up, kind of the whole purpose of a mouth piece to absorb some of that shock. But even with one the force causes the brain to move inside the skull. Same as a direct hit to the crown.

Good observation. That is called passing him off, all the linemen do it, and it's by design.

Certainly COULD happen.  But as far as your claim that if you get knocked out you have a concussion? I'll need a link to believe you.

you sir, are being ridiculous.

Well that technique is stupid! Keep your head on a swivel and block. He needs to stop passing off defensive linemen and linebackers to Austin Allen.

It is if you don't understand the scheme, apparently it's worked somewhere before, Anderson continues to use it

[MountieDawg]

The definition of a concussion is a temporary stoppage of  brain function.  A KO is a temporary stop of brain function.  It doesnt take a blow to the brain just a jar or shaking of the brain. 

[pfrg999]

He tries.. Works hard, was horrible, is now serviceable... reasonable fast outside but gets blown up and beaten alot inside.. Maybe All-SEC but not for a few years..

[ckhawgu]

Froholdt probably should have had a RS year before being thrown into the starting lineup against SEC talented D-Lineman. It was definitely hard to watch at times! I hope he gets those techniques down in the Spring and looks all SEC team worthy next year!
