Edelman Leaves Field, Apparent Foot Injury

[AtomicDawg]

Boom.

Why change it? I thought this was a thread all about wrong ideas.

Wouldn't want anyone thinking I'm trolling

Bad news gets worse. I heard they had to put Edelman down about 15 minutes ago. RIP Julian.

I read it on a tweet someone wrote, once. Seems legit.

I heard that that French gymnast cringed when he saw footage of Edelman's injury and said "ohhhh... Now that's a tough break...."

With the free time......wedding?

Remember when Gronk took that hit to his knee last year and was writhing on the ground and was clearly done for the year if not the career and then missed one game?

I do, fnord. That's why I'm trying not to panic. And it's also why I said 'usually. ' I'm just nervous, friend. Ninko is so important to that D.

 

[fnordcircle]

Yeah but Nink is a true competitor, I could see him shaking his head over an injury that costs him a week. I'm holding out hope that way I can only be disappointed!

Thank Christ.

 

[Kontradiction]

Boom.

Thank God, but I wouldn't be disappointed if he missed time. Need to be as cautious as humanely possible. These foot injuries are a pain in the ass.

Nice spin. Since you can no longer LOL at all the fanboys who didn't instantly conclude that Edelman's season was over, start acting like we're all expecting him back at practice tomorrow.

I'm still loling

 

[DaBruinz]

YEAH, great news

He continues to have problems with his surgically repaired foot and we haven't even played a pre season game.

NOTHING TO SEE HERE

Gotta love how you are such a tool. Don't actually quote anyone. Just act like a dumbarse and spew nonsense..

You might want to stop loling. You'll just look more foolish, otherwise.

Why? Because you've made a complete ass of yourself in this thread?

 

[PatsFan2]

Excellent news because I was going to ask for that Surgeons head...off with his head!

So many angry virgins in this thread, lol

Guarantee you that no one is wasting the energy to get angry with you. Most people are shaking their heads and putting your dumb ass on ignore..

If you understand that you have no evidence about what Edelman might know or not know and are just speculating, then of course that's a different story and didn't warrant my response. It seems, though, that you are using the report that Edelman injured his foot as evidence that he came back before he felt he was ready. I'm saying there are at least three other reasonable possibilities and it is impossible to put "odds" on any one of them: 1. He felt he was ready, but, unbeknownst to him, either the bone or surrounding tissue was not fully healed; 2. He felt he was ready and the foot was as healed as it was ever going to be, but even then it is more susceptible to injury than a foot that has never been injured; 3. He felt he was ready and the foot was healed and as good as new, but he still hurt it, just as he has hurt his foot on at least two other occasions when seemingly healthy.

Sorry to jump on you, it is a cumulative effect of hearing forms of this argument over the years. For some reason, people would rather assume the cause of reinjury is a reckless player rather than the nature of the injury (e.g., poor blood flow in the area makes complete healing impossible) or the physiology or playing style of the player that contributed to the first injury.

Well, Chao is now saying that he thinks Edelman tore some scar tissue in the operated foot. This is what I was saying in the OP. It may have been because he came back before he was truly ready. I speak on that as someone who broke his foot playing football and someone who has seen it with pro athletes. Foot injuries, especially guys who cut as violently and as suddenly as Edelman does, are tricky bastards. So, if that's the case, I wouldn't mind seeing him sit out the rest of the preseason and rest up. I understand he's probably dying to get back out there with his guys, but his overall health is more important to this team than practicing with them in August.
