Jakob Johnson to IR

[FreeTedWilliams]

Its time to convert a Dlineman to FB. Winovich would be an excellent candidate. He is already on all the Special teams. The only drawback is that the Pats need him on defense too.

Brain Cowert might be another posibility, big strong fast, can't seem to make the gameday roster. Much bigger than Devlin or Winovich, but he could be a load.

What’s Patrick Pass up to these days?

I was just about to make the same joke you bastard!

Just can't catch a break here. Seems like we get 2-3 significant injuries per game.

It's also that these injuries keep happening to the same position. We have good players at RB, LB, and DB that are inactive because those positions have amazing depth, but we get multiple longterm injuries at FB, WR, and OL.

Kyle Eckel and Marc Edwards aren't taken, yet.

Looked in good shape when I saw him at last year’s draft night. Hell, I’ll play if need be.

Hell bring back chonk Kevin Faulk!

Jakob Johnson to IR


You’ve got to be kidding.

Report: Patriots to place Jakob Johnson on injured reserve list

 

[ctpatsfan77]

Injuries may be the toughest opponent the Pats face this year.

I am very sorry to hear this. Jakob was doing an admirable job.

I know this is Johnson's thread, but noticed that Izzo was sliding into the fullback position in the running game.

For all you haters Izzo did a good job opening holes in this position.

 

[DarrylS]

At this juncture any player who knows the offense is a tough loss.......

Very sorry to hear this....tough position....goes to show how tough Develin is as well....he was hardly ever out....hope Develin can make it back

Insert expletive laden post expressing dismay and frustration here

 

[Patstastic]

It's crazy the amount of injuries the team gets during odd years. Either a coincidence or real curse.

Simple solution. Move Rizzo to FB. Bring Watson back as a real TE

Thursday night games are a goddamn travesty

 

[TomPatriot]

One TE who doubles as a FB.

This can't be good. And it won't last for long.

 

[Brandon_Cox]

Simple solution. Move Rizzo to FB. Bring Gronk back as a real TE

FIFY

Thursday night games are a goddamn travesty

Bad games, tired players, injuries, sloppy play, hardly any practice. Who benefits? Oh, wait . . .

I don't really believe that the NFL benefits that much from the Thursday games.. Especially when you consider the loss of talent that dilutes the product overall..
