Having scoured all currently available resources to find any tidbit on Justin Miller's reported injury I am left wondering why only Cimini would have this information. No one asked Mangini about the injury during the post scrimmage press conference even after he mentioned having looked at Miller's notebook. So, I assume this is straight bs.
But it was also reported to have happened at the end of the fourth quarter, so him not going back in is not all that meangingful. We'll have to see if he practices.
"CB Andre Dyson may not be the guaranteed starter we figured him to be. Not only did he not play with the first defensive unit (Barrett and Miller were there), but Dyson was burned by McCareins on a 39-yard pass and was part of whatever coverage mishap led to Justin?s 66-yard wide open TD catch. Dyson did have an interception in which he yanked the ball away from McCareins. But Miller and Barrett did a nice job of keeping tabs on Coles and Cotchery. Not sure the extent of Miller?s injury, but he seemed pretty upset when he came off the field clutching his right hamstring. Mangini has been talking Miller up all training camp ? most figure it?s a way to bully Darrelle Revis into training camp ? but Miller did look pretty good on Sunday. He didn?t look good fielding the punts, however. And if Miller is missing for any period of time, it could be bad news for the Jets."
ya, thunderbird just mentioned his name so i copypaste'd it in there. http://blogs.trb.com/sports/football/jets/blog/
The secondary looked very good all camp long and Miller was very impressive. I'm really hoping he's alright as I think he's due for an outbreak year. As for Dyson, He looks to be suffering from a foot injury. He doesnt have the same recovery speed as year's past and has a little limp.That would explain why he's getting limited reps.
And once again, you'd be patently wrong. I am not writing with green blinders on. I'm simply looking at things from a BUSINESS perspective, which you seem utterly incapable of doing. EDIT: This should actually be discussed in the Revis thread. My comment above seems incongruent with what I posted here, when taken out of context. It doesn't change the fact that this is still a business decision though, and the Jets have all the leverage.
Well, if Miller was in severe pain I would put my money on cramps over a strain (tear) simply because with Miller's age and athleticism he would be unlikely to have a grade 3 strain which is really the only level of strain accompanied with severe pain. Severity of Pulled Hamstring: Strains are graded 1, 2 or 3 depending on severity. Grade 1 consists of minor tears within the muscle. A grade 2 is a partial tear in the muscle and grade 3 is a severe or complete rupture of the muscle. Grade 1: What does it feel like? May have tightness in the posterior thigh. Probably able to walk normally however will be aware of some discomfort Minimal swelling. Lying on front and trying to bend the knee against resistance probably won't produce much pain. Grade 2: What does it feel like? Gait will be affected-limp may be present . May be associated with occasional sudden twinges of pain during activity. May notice swelling. Pressure increases pain. Flexing the knee against resistance causes pain. Might be unable to fully straighten the knee. Grade 3: What does it feel like? Walking severely affected- may need walking aids such as crutches Severe pain- particularly during activity such as knee flexion. Noticeable swelling visible immediately. What is a leg cramp? Leg cramps are painful contractions of the muscle that happen involuntarily (i.e. without the athlete intending then to happen). Leg cramps affect most people training hard, particularly running at some point in time. The hamstring muscles are often affected. Occasionally if you are unlucky the quadriceps muscles at the front of the leg are affected as well. Although the exact cause of cramp has not yet been successfully determined there are thought to be a number of possible causes including: Dehydration (not taking on enough water, especially in hot conditions). Low potassium or sodium (salt) levels. Low carbohydrate levels. Very tight muscles.
