RayFinkle Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 LINKY....If JP plays lights out, I am officially taking a leave of absence from the board until the season starts.
John from Riverside Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 I expected this.... It makes no sense for TE to not practice all week and then play a game. Better to have him 100 percent for the season. One thing is for sure I think. I am not saying that TE is injury prone but it would be a good indea to have a backup behind him who can win some games. I am not saying it should be Losman.....but somebody.
IDBillzFan Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 I don't care if JP Losman single handledly revives a dying player on the field with a toothpick and a 9V battery, Edwards is the starter and anyone who argues that deserves to be ignored.
GG Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 I don't care if JP Losman single handledly revives a dying player on the field with a toothpick and a 9V battery,. When did we trade for Bruschi?
reddogblitz Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 I am not saying that TE is injury prone but it would be a good idea to have a backup behind him who can win some games. I am. And so is JP. That's whey they both need to be ready, because they're both going to play a lot this year. Hamdan may get some work as well.
ACor58 Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 I am not saying that TE is injury prone What would make you say that? Stanford 2003 - Shoulder injury - Season ending 2004 - Various Injuries - missed four games 2005 - Phew , he made it 2006 - Broken foot - Season ending Buffalo 2007 - Injured wrist 2008 - Deep thigh bruise Anyone who reads this board has seen that I am pro TE, but my concern has always been his injury history. They need to surround him with bubble wrap.

But since it's pre-season, why rush it. What does concern me is the collision between ML and TE that caused this bruise. Who ran the wrong direction? In one of the pre-season games TE did a play action fake with ML no where near the ball. Is ML running the wrong plays or TE's? That's something that hopefully will be corrected and concerns me more than TE sitting out a pre-season game.

Hamdan may get some work as well. Getting a knee shot on the thigh has nothing to do with being injury-prone. It's a happenstance, no more.
Fingon Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 If this was the regular season, he would be playing.

I believe witnesses have said that Trent had the right-of-way, and Lynch may have clipped him but didn't really know it.
kota Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 God don't people listen to the interviews. Trent Edwards said Marshawn went to close to him and that he went to wide. Both were in error and these kind of Misqueues happen. this is why you practice so they don't happen. Trent is the starter and it's unfortunate that he can't play in this game. It sounds like if it was the regular season he would be playing.
drnykterstein Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 2008 - Deep thigh bruise 2008? You have a crystal ball? Do we make it to the Super Bowl? Does Peters hold out the whole season? Tell us more.
RayFinkle Posted August 22, 2008 Author Posted August 22, 2008 You have a crystal ball? Yes Do we make it to the Super Bowl? No Does Peters hold out the whole season? No Tell us more. Your hemroids will continue to itch
Albany,n.y. Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 2008? You have a crystal ball? Do we make it to the Super Bowl? Does Peters hold out the whole season? Tell us more. Yes, we make it to the Super Bowl. No, Peters reports before opening day. Here's just a peek into the future: JP is with the team in 2010 after getting cut, JP comes back to be our backup. Any more questions? I've got a sports almanac from 2020 that I picked up while getting a ride from Doc Brown.
ACor58 Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 2008? You have a crystal ball? Do we make it to the Super Bowl? Does Peters hold out the whole season? Tell us more. You don't need a Crystal Ball to "predict" an injury that he received on August 19th 2008.
The Big Cat Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Yes, we make it to the Super Bowl. No, Peters reports before opening day.

stuckincincy Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 YesNo No Your hemorrhoids will continue to itch. I corrected your spelling and punctuation. But... I enjoy your wryness, Walnuts...
DrDawkinstein Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 If this was the regular season, he would be playing. ^^^^ this is not a big deal, and if JP plays lights out, all it means is that we have a backup that we can rely on.

They need to surround him with bubble wrap. So is this some sort of trend or just bad luck? Are you suggesting that getting your foot broke and your shoulder injured is somehow a flaw in the player himself? PTR
