Rebooting the OL decisions

[captain stone]

I wouldn't be surprised if McDermott reaches an injury settlement and looks for work somewhere else.

 

[captain stone]

I've got to think they're trying to put him on the PS as someone to elevate in an emergency.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[captain stone]

Yes. He’s like another coach out there. Ever hear him speak? He’s very smart. His dad is one of the great coaches in college.

Then he should join Daddy's staff there, because he Sucks as an NFL player.

 

[captain stone]

He's kind of the Bryant of the offense. Just good enough to be better than a scrub, but not good enough that you want to see him have to play.

No he isn't.

 

[captain stone]

I want Calvin Anderson @ RT.

Why?!? He's barely over 300 pounds! The dude's a LEFT-side lineman, period.

 

[PatsFan2]

Glad he's back from whatever was ailing him seem like he didn't miss many meals.

It's been said here numerous times that a rookie going on IR is as good as done, that it is always the end of the career. I don't know the original source for that, but it is a repeat factoid on the board.

It really is a shot in the gut for a rookie. I'm hoping that Isaiah Bolden is the exception, but that unfortunate collision set him WAY back.

There is basically no difference between left and right any more.

Exactly. It doesn’t happen for the simple reason there is no benefit to it.
If a guy isn’t good enough to make the team having him take a year off of football doesnt help him.
Plus the player has to be injured to go on IR. If it’s not severe he can ask for an injury settlement so he can participate in football for another team.

Just curious, what exactly are the rules about what they can and cannot do on IR?

I’m pretty sure they cannot participate in any team activities

How in the world can you surmise that from this one photo?

Not again with this trope...

You spelled truth wrong

 

[rochrist]

I don’t know about you, but maybe I speak for others. I’m a little shell shocked by the flurry of recent moves bringing in two new OTs, releasing the backup QB (no one does that but they may start now that Belichick has opened that door), and going with 11 fatties on the 53.

None of us I think it’s fair to say would have predicted any of that.

Adrian Klemm is going to be one busy man!

I highly doubt there will be 11 fatties on the roster come opening day. Things are in flux.

Keene eyes.

So Hines is gone, right?

 

[Uptown]

Yes, he’s now Chasen Hinds in South Beach..

 

[State]

Could we see Wynn and Hines starting for the Phins this season? Hines can be a backup center and a starting RG in this league. Too bad about the injuries. The die was cast when Jake Andrews was drafted. Then he played LG when there was Onwenu’s absence. Makes me sad.

Is it fair to link him with Mafi? Who will have the better career?

I read on Atlanta's practice squad
