Wrist injury. CP was running GREAT. He wasn't demoted, he was injured.



Sorry, just tired of hearing this...I've even seen articles ridiculously saying he completely lost his job.

Just heard CP address this like 10 minutes ago. He didn't say for certain why he got pulled from the game. Yes, his wrist was bothering him but neither him nor Shanny said that was the reason he got pullled from the game.

He also addressed him falling down on the 27 yd run. He said he fell on purpose.

To avoid fumbling...because of the wrist. His status was "Questionable" before the game due to the wrist. He was busting big runs without the first-team O-line intact...no other reason to bench him.

Twitter / Rich Campbell: Shanahan: Clinton's wrist ...
Shanahan: Clinton's wrist impacted his decision to play Torain more on first and second down in the second half.

We should know CP by now...he never does anything wrong in his mind. Doesn't mind going head-to-head with a coach either. Love the guy, but he has a ginormous ego and wants the spotlight all to himself. Always has.

Some BS about he had five Rams pursuing him, one of which was the top stripper in the NFL, and they were coached during the week to protect the ball and sacrafice yards as opposed to turning the ball over. So he went down on purpose.

Yeah, that's what he said. I was stunned. Then like three minutes later he was saying how his toughness and willingness to play injured is and has never been in issue during his 9 year NFL career. Very interesting interview.

I would expect to see a healthy dose of Ryan Torrain vs. Philly.

I expect McNabb to explode for 400 passing, 50 rushing an at least 3 TDs (passing, rushing...)

He'll be fired up and he'll get the rest of the offense jacked up too.

The Eagles fans will be booing their own team a lot. (of course)
