BeastMode54 Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 per rotoworld Redskins rookie Malcolm Kelly is currently in Birmingham, Alabama to have his knees evaluated. He may need a scope. Kelly has been missing time with a hamstring injury, but is also experiencing stiffness in his knees. NFL Network's Mike Mayock reported before the draft that Kelly had been removed from some teams' boards due to knee woes, so this is a concern. He remains out indefinitely. I was one of the many here who wanted kelly, and even at our 11 pick. Seems like the injury concerns were valid and maybe very serious. Very happy with Hardy right now
BillsCelticsAngelsBama Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 The first time we get in the REDZONE and Hardy catches a TD over a smaller defender he will be worth the selection. Just a few sevens instead of threes can turn a team fron 7-9 to 10-6 very easily
BeastMode54 Posted August 4, 2008 Author Posted August 4, 2008 Just saying that seeing James Andrews is never a good, thing. Also, Devin Thomas is hurt, and hasn't come along all that well either. I know it's only camp, but I would have thought he would be doing a little bit better. Out of all the WR's drafted, it seems from things that I've read that Jordy Nelson is the guy catching on the fastest.
MattyT Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 Is a knee scope a big deal? I thought it was one of those things that was fairly routine.
BeastMode54 Posted August 4, 2008 Author Posted August 4, 2008 I think it is, but for a rookie with no NFL experience, seeing Dr. James Andrews is a big deal
drnykterstein Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 I think Limas Sweed is going to win the battle of the big guys stat wise. But.. I like Hardy, he'll be fine and we'll be happy with him.
lilannie Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 Wow, Kelly and Thomas are hurt and Fred Davis is being lazy! Not good for Washington!
DrDawkinstein Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 The first time we get in the REDZONE and Hardy catches a TD over a smaller defender (or Evans, Parish, Lynch, Reed, Royal get open and catch a TD) he will be worth the selection. Just a few sevens instead of threes can turn a team fron 7-9 to 10-6 very easily lets not forget that he can make a big impact without scoring at all too.
VOR Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 In other rookie news, Brandon Albert will miss the rest of pre-season at least with a foot injury, making his transition from college OG to NFL LT harder. And DE Derrick Harvey still hasn't signed with the Jags.
Steely Dan Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 The first time we get in the REDZONE and Hardy catches a TD over a smaller defender he will be worth the selection. Just a few sevens instead of threes can turn a team fron 7-9 to 10-6 very easily What he said.* * Provided he can stay out of off field and on field problems. lets not forget that he can make a big impact without scoring at all too. Not according to sWillis. He likes scoring and making a big impact of baby mama's. BTW, Rice is looking awesome in Ravens camp and he will probably take a lot of carries away from sWillis this year.
jahnyc Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 I have wondered if Jordy Nelson was the guy the Bills were trying to move up to draft in the second round. Always had a feeling (without any information) that the Bills were interested in him.
BeastMode54 Posted August 4, 2008 Author Posted August 4, 2008 per rotoworld Redskins rookie WR Malcolm Kelly underwent arthroscopic surgery to remove loose particles from his left knee on Monday. Kelly's timetable for return is supposed to be two to three weeks, but his knees have been problematic for awhile and that complicates matters. We saw last year with Robert Meachem how far behind a rookie receiver with knee woes can fall. Don't expect much, if anything from Kelly early in the season despite his solid start to training camp.
BuffaloBilliever Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 Hmm, Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly both down and out...

Out of all the WR's drafted, it seems from things that I've read that Jordy Nelson is the guy catching on the fastest. Quite the contrary- NOT seeing Andrews can be MUCH worse. I read about a pro wrestler who had a torn muscle in his arm that decided to save some money by seeing a less accomplished surgeon. Within a week of the procedure, the wound opened and a fluid that he described as looking like chunky soup started gushing out of it. Andrews is the most well known surgeon of his type in the world for a reason. Under his supervision, Kelly gets his best chance of a full recovery.

ans4e64 Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 I think Limas Sweed is going to win the battle of the big guys stat wise. But.. I like Hardy, he'll be fine and we'll be happy with him. Sweed is behind Hines Ward, Santonio Holmes, Nate Washington and Heath Miller for receptions or touches, not to mention the two-headed monster at RB with Willie Parker and Rashard Mendenhall. Hardy is behind... well... Lee Evans.
Rubes Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Sweed is behind Hines Ward, Santonio Holmes, Nate Washington and Heath Miller for receptions or touches, not to mention the two-headed monster at RB with Willie Parker and Rashard Mendenhall. Not to mention the fact that Sweed was also carted off the field last week with a hammy.
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Sweed is behind Hines Ward, Santonio Holmes, Nate Washington and Heath Miller for receptions or touches, not to mention the two-headed monster at RB with Willie Parker and Rashard Mendenhall. Hardy is behind... well... Lee Evans. If Sweed is behind both Mendenhall and Willie Parker, Hardy is surely behind Lynch.
WellDressed Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 I have wondered if Jordy Nelson was the guy the Bills were trying to draft Modern era, caucasion WR's -Ed McCafferey -Ricky Proehl -Welker -Wayne Chrebet - -?????

Andrews is the most well known surgeon of his type in the world for a reason. Under his supervision, Kelly gets his best chance of a full recovery. The key to that statement is "Well known", although he's known as an excellent surgeon the big reason players go to him is the agents. They control which doctor to send players to, and Andrews has a whole process for pro athletes that caters to their needs (hotel, car service, private patient rooms, entertainment, etc) There are plenty of surgeons around the country that are equal and can even be considered better than Andrews, he just has a niche for pro athletes because of what he offers them. It's just that most of the other top surgeons will treat the players like ordinary patients and not get the special hospitality treatment.
