section122 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 One of the concerning things about this injury (and the same for Kyle WIlliams and Merriman) is that an Achilles injury is usually followed by hamstring injuries. I hope this isn't the case for these guys but it is worrisome to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Whoa, that stinks. never wish an injury on anyone. Having said that i was happy when the Bills traded him and am even more happy this is not another injury BLO has to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this isn't the case for these guys but it is worrisome to say the least. The good thing about Merriman and Williams is the type of surgery and injury are much different than a rupture. Hopefully not as difficult of a recovery. I remember after Marino blew is achillies his lower leg looked like a little girls arm for the rest of his career.

Zulu Cthulhu Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Sucks for the Eagles. JP was their only good lineman. Bell is a huge step down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides a game besides Minnesota last year against Allen (in a dome down by a ton of points), name a game he has struggled in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of being a good player is being reliable, no? Bell's been hurt too much to be considered reliable. Even back when he was drafted many noted his body type was less than ideal for OT and could lead to injuries. Guess what happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 No ****. Bell is an Eagle. ESPN Text just verified http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/56463/peters-injury-shakes-up-eagles-offseason That's not what this says. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramius Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Given how well that fat piece of crap stayed in shape during his holdout, the Iggles should expect him to show up at 2013 OTA pushing 500 lbs. With him on the shelf, now's a good time to buy stock in taco bell and cheetos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I am worried that this may inflate D. Bell's price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) Wow, that really sucks for them... EDIT: Whoa, just read this: RT @judybattista: RT @pdomo: Major blow for Eags losing Peters. Allowed 1 sack in 570 pass plays in '11. Was monster blocker for Shady McCoy Can that possibly be right? Bigger loss than I thought...

Kelly the Dog Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I am worried that this may inflate D. Bell's price. Hard to say if they even go after Bell. As soon as they learned about Peters injury they re-sign King Dunlap to a contract. Maybe that is their answer. It's also possible that they may have just wanted a back-up plan, get Dunlap in the fold, and then go after another guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
