Augie Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Did Goodwin break or bruise his ribs? As one very smart guy (retired pediatric neuro-radiologist) told me when my kid had a break, on a scale of 1-10, a bad bruise is like a 5 and a break is like a 6. They can be almost the same thing.
truth on hold Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 I gather they're thinking if they get 8-10 games / year out of him its worth the roster spot.
Chilly Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 You're a pretty happy fellow, aren't you... I like how he wished we kept a guy over Goodwin who we waived/injured. As one very smart guy (retired pediatric neuro-radiologist) told me when my kid had a break, on a scale of 1-10, a bad bruise is like a 5 and a break is like a 6. They can be almost the same thing. Yup. I (probably) cracked a rib once. Dr. took a look, felt it and the swelling, said he thought it was cracked, but it could just be bruised pretty good, and there wasn't much of a difference from treatment or pain, gave me some strong pain meds, and told me it wasn't worth x-raying to see if it was broken. Driving to/from the Dr. with that rib was one of the most painful things I've ever done. I could barely suffer through it. I thought Every single little bump, and having to move left or right to look in a mirror, was going to kill me.
Saxum Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 I personally don't even know why he was kept on the team other than his speed. Pretty sure Harvin has speed too and he can actually catch a ball without hurting himself. As a guy who is his size and build he needs to learn that if you aren't running free on a go route you need to give yourself up and go down and not try to run all over the field. He DID give himself up, he went to the ground and the Zebras ignored a blatant late hit on him.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Somehow I see him getting hurt in the first game along with Harvin and we would of wished we kept Tbompson or Davis. He can't get hurt in the first game unless he trips on a wet towel in the locker room or something
ALF Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 I thought that was a dangerous , dirty hit that injured Flash. He earned another chance here or a trade when healthy.
The Wiz Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 He DID give himself up, he went to the ground and the Zebras ignored a blatant late hit on him.I'll agree he did but that was after he ran about 15 yards from one sideline to the middle of the field.
Coach Tuesday Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 I mean, his ribs are broken. I don't see how that can be put on him, or what you expect him to be doing about it.
starrymessenger Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 He's small, he's (pretty much always) hurt, he's hardly a great receiver by any stretch of the imagination. He's maybe a notch above TJ Graham and that's pretty much it. Lots of guys are fast.
Kelly the Dog Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 He's small, he's (pretty much always) hurt, he's hardly a great receiver by any stretch of the imagination. He's maybe a notch above TJ Graham and that's pretty much it. Lots of guys are fast. Why on earth would they keep him then?
Big C Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 His first 3 years he played pretty much every game. He missed 3 games in his first 3 years. Goodwin has missed 9 in 2 years. Ditched the Uncle Rico avatar I see. Does this include games Marrone scratched him?
DC Greg Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) He's small, he's (pretty much always) hurt, he's hardly a great receiver by any stretch of the imagination.

He's maybe a notch above TJ Graham and that's pretty much it. Lots of guys are fast. Disagree. In the preseason games, dude showed potential of catching the medium stuff also. he can catch and he can run - which is one more than TJ ever did. Goodwin's only issue is his durability. Yeah, his love for comic books is a bit troubling: One of the most underappreciated movies ever.
3rdand12 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 I mean, his ribs are broken. I don't see how that can be put on him, or what you expect him to be doing about it. well, he should do something darnit all ! he just is not meeting expectations. ask Saint Doug why he made him a healthy scratch? Or on the other hand you could ask Sanjay Lal why he loves the Kid, and then, why he is on the roster?
The Dean Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Why on earth would they keep him then? Because coaches are stupid, and posters know better. Pretty clear, actually.

I hope YOU, of all people, give Sammy due credit for playing through it as he did last year. Hope we get to see what he can do healthy and with decent QB play.
FireChan Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Because coaches are stupid, and posters know better. Pretty clear, actually. This is the same GM who kept Lee Smith on the roster, so who knows. Apparently only certain posters can call out coaches.
