As If the Injury Thing Couldn't Get Any Worse - #22 Hand in Cast

[shmessy]

How intriguing that Colemans injury warrants a point of discussion.

Did you mistakenly end up on Patsfans.com when you were aiming for Martha Stewart's site?

Eli being intercepted by a guy with a cast would generate interesting memes

Abnormal.
Godell probably paid all voodoo ppl in the world to cast injury spell on pats.
He bought 5000 goats and he sacrificed them to satan.
And if one major injury will happen, he probably kidnap some young virgin and sacrifice her to satan.

I'm pretty sure that if Satan exists, he IS Roger Goodell.

We're getting close to early-2013 levels of injury here.

Perhaps. The 2013 team had a lot of injured key players including Gronk, Spikes, Mayo, Wilfork, and Volmer. Besides Lewis and Solder, this years injuries seem to be roll players.

Although on BB's team, every player is pretty important. And sort of replaceable too.

Maybe Coleman can squeeze the ball between his cast and his helmet to make the catch.

(Too soon?)

It will always be too soon for that.

Good thing we shored up the corner position.

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

To clarify: the injury thing could get much worse. We still have virtually all of our irreplaceable players.

 

[Wheelman]

Time for Rashaan "The Dream" Melvin to make his mark!

Not even close. These are mostly minor, with the exception of a few. 2013 was catastrophic. With these injuries, if you have to have them, you'd prefer they take place earlier in the season. That said, depth at CB was a question mark before the season and we're getting dangerously thin if Coleman can't go.

Maybe they've trained up Aaron Dobson as a CB?

 

[WinstonSmith]

Hopefully he doesn't have the dreaded Fletcher Thumb...he could miss the rest of the season.

We're getting close to early-2013 levels of injury here.

It's tough but 2013 was the worst. As long as we have Gronk and Brady we are in business.

Effects of a cast on a CB:

• Greatly reduces chance of an INT or of a fumble recovery.
• Might slightly increase the chance of a FF.
• Might slightly decrease the chance of a DPI call.
• Interferes w/ press coverage or anything else around the LOS.
• Interferes w/ some tackle attempts ... Ken can explain why it shouldn't interfere with others.

Rashaan Melvin next man up would love to see what this Big CB can do.

As long as he doesn't turn into Smelvin

Meanwhile some better news, possibly...

Hey, knock that **** off. You know as well as I do that positive news on illness/injuries is frowned upon around here.

 

[PatriotsPimp136]

Ridiculous. Injuries will catch up with this team all these other teams have not had the injuries that this team has had. Smh

Satan isn't merely a figurehead. He spreads his corruption by whispering in ears. Jeff Pash is a much stronger candidate.

Coleman played on 55 of the 58 defensive reps on Sunday. As our nickel back, he plays lots, lots more than many of our starters.

You clearly aint following other teams to say this. Look toward Bills, Chargers, 49ers, Packers, Steelers, Ravens should I go on? Trust me, Patriots had few so fare.. But same 2 groups have been hit ( CB and OL )
