My favorite part is the quote about the guy that was on the side lines crying after a hit: 'i dont know who i am!' hahaha. Not fast, but hard hitting.

Wasn't there a player recently who played an entire game with a broken bone in his arm ... as a long snapper ... who continued to snap and cover punts throughout the game ... didn't he play for a team we are all familiar with .... hmmmmm

What softies these modern players are.

2 broken arms and 2 broken legs. No pain, no gain.

I think Grant could be a nice fit and a solid contributor if he's healthy and good to go.

I think he's averaged sbout 4.3 to 4.6 yards per carry for his career. He's got good size and is a good blocker. I think he's gonna turn out to be a nice pickup for us.

These injuries are not related (in my medical opinion). However, you are correct that certain injuries can lead to other injuries through a compensatory mechanism.

Turf toe is not an easy thing to treat and I seem to recall that Helu battled this toward the end of last season. If its the same foot I wouldn't be surprised as these injuries can be chronic. It's especially debilitating for athletes who rely on a great deal of acceleration in the position they play. Helu's game is built on his straight line speed so these injuries obviously greatly impact his ability.

I've actually been in a walking boot for the past several weeks with a similar but different toe injury that has been an issue for months. Its frustrating to deal with even as a non-athlete.

Nonetheless, my wife thinks I'm being a sissy...

Except for a few tackles, most of the hits in that highlight reel show Butkus wrapping up a player and bringing him down. I wish that current defensive players would take away that from Butkus.

Yup,it's called fundimentals and they work.If you watch ,a lot of the players who get hurt have bad form or their head is down when they hit.

watch their heads....

If you can't run you can't play.

There are some injuries you can't simply tough out and play through.

53Fan · 09-28-2012, 06:29 PM

I seem to remember a guy named Sean Taylor being feared not so long ago. I seriously doubt Jack Tatum was any tougher than him.
