There is really no ‘issue’ about flying-body-bumping-celebrations – Drew Tranquil is out for the year because of one and he has no one to blame but himself.

Either his teammates learn from that or they don’t.

In reply to Irish Elvis. You beat me to it, Elvis. I was going to say that the "flying body-bumping celebrations" are probably not the issue. The issue is really maybe the incredible physical stresses to which these guys are subjected.

In reply to Irishize.

While I agree that this injury was regrettable, I hope you don’t mean to suggest that Joe Schmidt is somehow responsible. I’m concerned that you’re inferring that eliminating a routine athletic activity (jumping) in celebration would somehow eliminate stress to a player’s body…in the middle of a football contest.

I’m all for chasing down injury causes, but we shouldn’t go full witch hunt. If so, we could say that this is the first day/September game so we should ban afternoon games in September to keep our ACLs intact.

It is time for Kelly to curtail the flying body-bumping celebrations. Joe Schmidt initiated this yesterday with Drue Tranquil and now Tranquil is done for the year (Schmidt also knocked Jarron Jones out for the year when he he rolled up onto his knee in camp–he will easily win the MVP for friendly fire this year!).
Anyway, it’s time to ban the airborne celebrations.
