I did like this quote from the article:

"Dugger said he has spoken with Vrabel since his hiring and came away encouraged by their conversation.

“(Vrabel) was really positive,” Dugger said. “From the small talk we had and his energy, he seems like a genuine dude that wants to come in, win and put us in the best position to do so, which is all I can hope for as a player. So I’m excited to move forward.”

If i remember correctly he missed the miami game with an ankle injury , played against Houston, then missed 3 games without any new injuries from the Houston game that i recall. Yeah that’s never good

Thanks, Brother Mayo

Deron to Dugger - "Rub some dirt on it."

Miss-diag'd. Cheezus.

Deron to Dugger - "Rub some dirt on it."

He got prescriptions of "Hard Work Works", "When We Win, We Win Together" and "Take 'Em To The Hill"

The man who should be called to answer questions is long-time trainer Jim Whalen.

Hes been here since 2002 and this is the first time i've heard a player come out and say their injury was misdiagnosed.

I suspect it's not him we should be pointing fingers at....

I've been on this for weeks... Dugger is much better player than what he was last season.

So he was the one who cleared Dugger to play..

 

[Rob0729]

Dugger sucked after he came back from injury. Like he should have been benched sucked. This explains a lot.

 

[Brotherblues]

Reading the article it 100% exonerates Dugger for his season.

And it shines a brighter light on Cov and Mayo continuing to play him on one leg all season. Unbelievable.

Is it the same leg at whose back pocket he keeps his wallet? That would explain a lot too.

Yeah, that’ll never see the light of day. Hotter than plutonium. They’ll handle it internally.

Is Deron still with the team?

Not sure. I gotta think Deron is moving on.

 

[reflexblue]

I figured there was something physically wrong with him the way his play dropped off.

in that timeframe, what are the results in terms of games and snaps lost and how it compares to league averages, etc.? I had a perception that under BB the Pats are generally conservative about bringing guys back. I didn’t notice much of a difference last season but with the Peppers situation maybe they brought back Duggar sooner than they otherwise would. Certainly also I wonder about how Barmore’s case was handled.

Deron is gone. Vrabel hired his guy from Tenn. The rest of the strength staff stays though.
