He had a serious leg injury last week in practice. Will be having surgery tomorrow morning. I was told 2 months but I believe it will be longer. He was running with the 1’s before the injury
Tommy Ziesmer
- Thread starter BigBlueCarti.
- Start date
he was playing defensive tackle with the first team when the injury happende
Sad news and let's pray for a speedy and perfect recovery.
I like Tommy Zeismer and his potential…but he’s not running first team over Deonne Walker
if it was "with the ones", my guess is either
1. he was running with the ones (as in stepped in for Deone but the ones were still on the field)
or
2. he was at the DE spot opposite Walker
Sucks, inevitable with this violent sport to have injuries. Sure hope he can recover 100% to get some experience this season.
Hope he can stay upbeat, heal and the future will look better for him.
Stoops mentioned in last week's PC that "due to existing injuries we're having to get creative in the DL to scrimmage." Mentioned Gadson/Gilbert getting extra reps. Ziesmer is undersized for DT, built more like a DE. Is a depth piece, hope he heals fast.
The D-line has been thin this spring because of injury and planned surgery. So, the healthy young players are/were getting a lot of snaps.
I am very sorry to hear about the injury. Hate to see this, and and hope he recovers quickly. An effort player for sure. But Deone Walker is our 1st team DT, just to clarify that part. Running nonstarters through the first team in the spring happens a lot. Spring is a time when all hands are on deck and everyone gets a look. Not diminishing anyone.
I know the Zeismer’s, not so much Tommy, but the family, they are class acts. I pray Tommy gets well soon and comes back even stronger!!! Nothing but the best wishes for Tommy here! You go big guy! Your potential is not diminished. Stay strong sir.
I hate to hear that, I hope he has a speedy recovery.
He was getting first team snaps in practice just like Patterson is at RB. Just means they earned the right to get a sniff with the best players in order to further gauge if they are ready for that level yet. Doesn't necessarily mean they supplanted anyone.
Guess I shouldn't be surprised bit I continue to be amazed how little many understand the game of football and how coaches identify talent and who plays andbwhen.
Guess I, or anyone else, shouldn’t be surprised by the lack of spelling or understanding coherent sentences either… I’ll hang up and keep listening to the deep insight you think you have. 🤔.
He isn't ,or no one is, playing over Deonne Walker. TZ has a motor and probably was seeing some work on the field with DW
Deone is hurt so someone has to be playing with the 1s. Doubt that they are leaving a gap and pretending that Deone is being a beast! 🤣🤣🤣
I get it. I grew up an FSU football fan in FL because my dad played ball there. I had never watched a basketball game, other than the Globetrotters, until I moved to Lexington in Jr High. I like UK basketball, but I love ALL football. When I lived in Miami, my pop and I would pick a random HS football game to go watch most weekends, so I learned to love and understand the nuance of the sport. My Lexington friends said they loved watching football with me because I see things they would never notice. I suspect there are a lot of UK fans that are that way with basketball. Unfortunately, maybe because they aren't alumni etc, they just loved basketball because they won so much and they chose not to follow football until now, so they may have a novice eye for the game. I never understood loving only one sport for a school. I'll watch the women's softball or soccer games if I see them on the SEC network.
