Stork NOT Released; Traded to the Redskins

[Wheelman]

Looks like Kline and Derby also got owned on that play. Not just Stork.

Reports are Thuney seems to have some "mean guy" in him w/o being "undisciplined mean guy."

Perfect

Worried about Solder our Best OL-Man when healthy???

He has trouble with some speed rushers.

Wasn't Andrews benched down the stretch for Stork last season if I recall correctly?

Thread title needs changing:

And now he's allegedly retiring. Bet he starts for us Friday night.

As Doug Kyed said:



So, his retirement isn't our problem.. It's Washington's. And since it's a conditional pick, they keep it..

Stork sucks - Andrews should have been starting at center last season, especially in the AFCCG.

 

[Hammer of Thor]

Wasn't Andrews benched down the stretch for Stork last season if I recall correctly?

He had a rough game in Week 11 against the Bills. Right at the typical time the "rookie wall" would hit and also right when Stork was ready to come back. And so Stork wound up playing most of the time thereafter. Andrews was passable early in the season to that point.

That said, I'm not saying it was simply the rookie wall and he'll be fine this year. I have no idea. The real question is if Andrews won the starting center job due to his own performance or by default because of Stork regressing. The line looked a lot better last week than week one, but it was against the Bears. I need the views of others more knowledgeable than me to give this assessment.

LOL a retiring JAG...

HE WAS WORTH AT LEAST 2 FIRST ROUNDERSS AND A THIRD, when will we learn...

getting into a fight in practice is not dumb football.
It is good for football players to be aggressive.

Being aggressive is a great trait for football players, but not wrecklessness and lack of discipline that can cost your team big with a penalty

With the new ejection rule after 2 unsportsmanlike penalties, the tolerance level for undisciplined players is going to be even less than it already was I'd imagine

Sure, but to call Stork an undisciplined player based on squirmishes in practice is silly.

You're talking about a man who was known around FSU for kicking his girlfriend, and now fiancée's, dog and shoving her to the ground when they would argue. The guy has a screw loose and sustaining more concussions isn't going to help him.

Yea admittedly i really didn't know anything about Stork's history in college, so I wasn't really all that concerned when I read about him having a couple practice confrontations, especially when I wasn't there so I don't know the context or the things that were said that lead to that confrontation. I wouldn't jump to conclusions based on a few practices, but from some stuff I'm learning from others it seems like Stork might have problems controlling his emotions

I have no ill will towards him, I mean the guy came in as a 4th round draft pick and started the entire year helping the team win a Superbowl... very, very impressive for a rookie to come in and do that.. I'll always be grateful for that

With all of the concussions he's had at such a young age, I think retirement would be his best option at this point so that he can still have a healthy future ahead of him... but ultimately he'll be the one that makes that choice and I wish him nothing but the best regardless of what decision he makes

You didn't hear? That stuffs okay. I mean, unless she gets the wind knocked out of her, then it's an integrity issue if the amount of air in her is out of the league range.
