Quote:You can't simulate putting yourself in uncontrolled situations. No rehab is going to prepare the player for that first unexpected hit or slip or twist that tells the player that his knee can take an unexpected challenge and actually hold up. Rehab will never put you that far out of your comfort zone. Those things you will have to experience on your own.


There are so many random forces at play in real situations that a player has to experience in order to fully regain confidence in his repaired body part.


I know this from my own experiences with surgery and rehabilitation.

First off w/respect to you'r surgery/rehad. Was it comparable to the NFL standards of 24/7? Unless you're an professional athlete, you won't get this type of rehab. Not even close...


You can't simulate anything in practices that comes close to actual playing time. I give you this little tidbit...


What does Adrien Peterson, Rod Woodson and Thomas Davis have in common?


Just to name a few...


He's put in the time w/respect to rehad and conditioning. If he wasn't ready, he wouldn't have been actived to the 53...


NH3...
