Stork not at practice today (Friday Oct 10)

[oldrover]

Bryan Stork's absence doesn't bode well for Sunday - espnBoston

That's just swell. Who's gonna play center? Larry Fitzgerald? LOL

Pounding the ball is out spreading them out as I suggested is now the best option.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

It will be a long day for the oline without him....however, stork could still play if the doctors clear him. He DID practice this week....

 

[PP2]

Not necessarily bad news- as they are past the bulk of gameplan installation and most likely are just resting him in the hope that he passes the concussion tests tomorrow before they leave.

 

[Kontradiction]

Didn't he practice all this week? Maybe we'll get lucky and find out he was excused for personal reasons. I don't want to see an interior OL of Connolly-Wendell-Devey trying to handle Dareus and Williams.

EDIT: Just saw it was due to a head injury...

This is one of the reasons I was not high on the Stork pick. He had head injury concerns entering the NFL.

He got a cncussion yesterday in practice...

Missing 2 games in 2011 for migraines is hardly a long and concerning history of head injuries. Where was it stated that 1 problem 3 years ago was a concern?

There were general injury concerns - finger (got infected, almost amputated), shoulder, knee and ankle however.

Yeah, just gotta hope that Williams isn't 100% yet, because I dunno how an interior without Stork will have any shot at handling him and Dareus. That's a potential gameplan-breaking mismatch.

This is not good news. We all saw what the OL is like w/Stork and with out. The bills DL is pretty good, and I shutter what will happen to Brady if the line plays like they did vs Mia or KC, or even like they did vs Oak.

 

[Jackson 2]

He got a cncussion yesterday in practice...

Unnamed source just reported he actually died yesterday in practice.

 

[LightSkinSmurf]

That does it. 72-3 bills.

He had 3 reported concussions during his college tenure.

I hope you're right. He's a big reason NE has had a semblance of an O-Line the past few weeks.

I hope you're right.

If Stork is out, and we have to field yet a new starting 5 on the heels of finally finding a competent group, I can't think of a word to describe that other than "annoying." That would be very annoying.

 

[JMC00]

He had 3 reported concussions during his college tenure.

All I ever saw reported was 1.

 

[Big-T]

All I ever saw reported was 1.

NFL.com only mentions the 2 games due to migraines, so assuming that is the 1 concussion. If he had 3 then they would have stated that along with his other injuries during his College career.

Shotgun and pass all day long against the Bills
