Initially it doesn't sound too bad-hyperextension/sprain per JLC.. Remember last year we lost Samuels for the entire preseason in the first week of practice and he went to the Pro Bowl.. Let's keep the faith and a positive thought!

I agree that he wasn't an All-Pro, but he was an unquestioned starter and leader. Someone else will undoubtedly get a chance, but losing our strongest and beefiest end so early is not good.

I don't think this is an omen or '06 all over again. Its simply bad luck, football is a contact sport and people get hurt. Hopefully its just a sprain, but it happening so early is good because it gives him time to heal and the Skins time to plan. No woe is me talk after the first session of training camp please.

Welllll, if the worst happens. At least the timing is good

The only problem with the first part of your comment was the last part.

Daniels hasnt impressed me much... if any, however when we are running low on DE (and we knew this going into the draft) its hard to take even a small injury for any amount of time.

re: Phillip Daniels is done for the season, Buzbee also hurt (updated)
 

Phillip Daniels' effectiveness against the rush is so underapperciated. If you're playing with a DE who can't contain the run, your pretty much f***ed. Teams will run at that side all day long. Our run defense was as good as anyones last year and I obviously don't want to see that change. We can't afford a downgrade at that position. Get well soon Phillip!

[x] Redskins run bad at injuries
[x] should've drafted another DL
[ ] Eramus James is answer
[x] this sucks

I think that covers all the bases lol

IF this is just a mild hyperextension, this may not be a bad thing. Daniels will go into the season healthy, the missed reps won't hurt him (he knows GB's D well), and the young guys get much needed reps to improve. Yes, I'm a "glass half full" guy.

re: Phillip Daniels is done for the season, Buzbee also hurt (updated)
 

Before we go too far down the road of "we should've drafted a DE" and "see the FO screwed up again".....what if we had drafted a DE first and Moss got hurt, or (not trying to jinx us) but what if Smoot or Springs goes down, what if Landry goes down, what if Rabach goes down. The salary cap doesn't allow the luxury of keeping talented depth at all the positions you would like.

In the grand scheme of things Daniels going down, even if it is for an extended period, is nowhere near as bad as the scenarios I mentioned above.

re: Phillip Daniels is done for the season, Buzbee also hurt (updated)
 

No point in the "woulda coulda shoulda" draft stuff. We didn't. We're going to have to make due with the line we've got, and any castoffs that might help. That will most likely be a weak point this year, we know that. They went heavy on the offense this year, and my guess is they'll be looking d-line in the draft and FA next time. Til then, we'll have to hope for the best, and SCORE LOTS OF POINTS!

Sounds like a torn ACL. Done for the year.

I guess this blows the whole "mild hyperextension" report all to hell. Oh well, adapt & overcome, just don't give up a 1st for Jason Taylor.

Wow this sucks, but if we can pry Taylor away for a decent price I'm all for it.

what a bunch of BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
are there any good DE vets out there we can sign?is'nt anthony mcfarland still unsigned?

re: Phillip Daniels is done for the season, Buzbee also hurt (updated)
 

What's a fair price for Taylor? 3rd round pick that turns to a 2nd if certain requirements are met?
