Oh crap, he must have got whacked pretty good.
He may not be back for a while.
:mad:

Re: The Defense Only Thread
 

Yup, but what he said about the glasses has been debunked already. I don't know if he was trolling for fun or what?

Can we get a link? I haven't seen or heard anything about anyone debunking this theory.

This makes me sad that we didn't sign him but at the same time I am excited to see more from Ionnuwhodunit.

There is an open PS spot right now. Could they cut someone currently on the roster tomorrow hoping he clears waivers? Then sign one of the workout guys to the roster? Stay tuned

I feel like if there was a terrible defensive team out there and they watched footage of Ionanabooboodis, and they felt like he performed solidly they would snap him up in a second. If I'm McC I'm not risking it. Plus you risk alienating your locker room demoting your homegrown guy who just got his first chance in favor of a temporary solution.

Regarding Cravens and glasses, this is from braininjuries.com:

Essentially, Concussion or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) or Acquired Brain Injury is an insult to the brain, such as a blow to the head, stroke, or neurological dysfunction. The insult can produce cognitive, sensory or physical impairments; most are amenable to rehabilitation.

The following is a list of symptoms of visual problems which can result from brain injuries:
Blurred vision
Sensitivity to light, glare sensitivity
Reading difficulties; words appear to move
Comprehension difficulty
Attention and concentration difficulty
Memory difficulty
Double vision
Aching eyes
Headaches with visual tasks
Inability to maintain visual contact or focus
Reduction or loss of visual field (Visual Field Loss)
Difficulties with eye movements, such as:
[B]ocular pursuits (eye tracking ability)[/B]
saccadics (shifting gaze quickly from one point to the other)
accommodative inability (focusing)
binocular vision (eye alignment, eye teaming, depth perception, 3D vision, stereopsis)

These visual problems can be successfully decreased or eliminated with various treatments, such as:

Optometric Vision Therapy
Neuro-optometric Rehabilitation Therapy
[B]Corrective lenses, such as prism lenses[/B]
Phototherapy programs (Syntonic Optometry, Light Therapy)

I was referring to maybe Jenkins or Phillips being cut.

Re: The Defense Only Thread
 

I meant in regards to him, and the rest of his life thing. It's impossible for any Doctor to make that call at this point.

It's crazy to think back 3 or 4 years ago maybe, that guys would have just played through all this stuff.

Re: The Defense Only Thread
 

And here you go, we signed a former Terp DL with size instead of Potroast.

The two videos in that link make that info conflicting.

They like Phillips even though in my experience he looked like garbage first few games. I could see Jenkins going but I don't think they want to do that just yet.

If you are referring to the one cravens did that is what this is all about. He tweeted that video out and that is what all the is it true talk stemmed from. This article is debunking that video. They just use it as a reference.
