I'll take that as a back-handed compliment and apparently a whole bunch of motor oil in your cheerios this morning.
Can't seem to find any info on that but it's disturbing to see this kid hurt again and it certainly can't help that he'll miss the rest of preseason. He might turn out to be alot tougher down the road. Willis Magahee is a prime example of a kid that got tougher as time went by.
I don't think he ever missed a game in college. I also think people are way overreacting to this. So he took a hit to the ribs and Ryan wants to rest him, so what? Lat I checked it was pre-season. If the games counted they would tape him up and put him in. Give it a break. I guess Jenkins, Mangold and Faneca must be injury prone too..or do you think they would have played if the games meant anything?
so preseason games arent important to a rookie? missing the next 2 weeks of preseason does nothing but put the kid behind. its very tough for a rb to learn all the things they need to do as a rookie. missing 2 weeks of practice and preseason games doesnt help that. im not saying the kid is injury prone, i am saying that you may be undervaluing the importance of preseason and practice to a rookie rb.
No, they aren't. That's why they want to get rid of two of them. It's not like he has to worry about getting a job. Again, he took a shot to the ribs. There is no reason at all to play him. He didn't get hurt pushing off and totally untouched like Jenkins did. That's who you need to worry about.
lol i saw the play. looked pretty painful. getting hit with helmets is the equivalent of someone smashing you with a hammer. hes probably just got some bruised ribs. he'll be fine come the season just let him sit a week or two.
thats what those of us old enough said about freeman mcneil. oh its only his ribs. i guess blocking isnt important, or making the read to figure out who he has to pickup. you will see that every single rb that comes into the league has trouble with that. hopefully the qb doesnt get killed cause shonn comes in and we audible out of a run and they have a blitz on.
