fansince88 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Yeah why not? I can play special teams. The best part is, i would only require $50,000 for a 1 year contract. The incentives include a free apartment to live in and i get to eat at the facility for free (breakfast, lunch AND dinner). My signing bonus can be free Duffs Wings for a year and my whole contract will be void if i get injured. I'll give them back the Duffs wings card, I'll move out and I'll even vomit whatever food i ate that day just to let them know I'm a man of my word. I'm a low risk, low to a little above low reward kind of signing. So you are going to have free Duffs until September 12th? His right? What about his left? LOL.

Bill from NYC Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Seriously, Aaron...retire. I'm not keen on seeing you die on the field. Agreed. It is a scary situation and the man should let well enough alone before something terrible takes place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Pretty much the worse thing that could happen. Glad Whaley planned that his already injured safety who was coming off neck surgery, wouldn't be able to play this year If this is sarcasm....Blanton was signed for this possibility, correct?

Fadingpain Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Collisions like this can produce some bad injuries b/c the players obviously never saw each other. No time to brace for impact. Effective immediately: all the top players must practice clad in a suit made entirely of bubble wrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 yep. According to Graham, one of the problems he had last season was with communication after Aaron went down- communication between safeties, who play on a string in Rex's scheme, being of paramount importance. To me, that's code for "Duke Williams is an idiot" Collisions like this can produce some bad injuries b/c the players obviously never saw each other. No time to brace for impact. Effective immediately: all the top players must practice clad in a suit made entirely of bubble wrap. As I heard it, the contact was from two separate drills and that's why neither player had a clue about the location of other. So yeah, I would be asking why something like that can happen in practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webster Guy Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Move Blanton over, bring back Rambo for depth and end this string of destruction for Awil. Whether it's his luck or playing style it feels inevitable that this is going to end badly. He loves the game, find a place for him to hang around the team in a different capacity. Tom said it best...a major injury would be hard to swallow with all these warning signs reoccurring over the past year.Wondering if Striker could transition to SS. He's the perfect size for it....

justnzane Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 For those blaming Rex for this, it was a freak accident. Williams was reading the pass as Lewis was making a cut into the same spot. Think of it like two outfielders colliding into each other going for a ball. It happened to be helmet to helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4merper4mer Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Someone give this crusader a vacation. It's not a crusade. A poor level of communication on defense and a poorly planned practice that gets a player injured are valid reasons to criticize a coach. If you don't think they are, then I would have to disagree. I believe you are entitled to your opinion which has not been expressed in the post I quoted. I'd appreciate it if you allowed me mine. Yes I have been critical of Rex but I have been so in cases where he deserved it. For those blaming Rex for this, it was a freak accident.

If they were in the same drill while this happened like two outfielders are in the same game then you are correct. If they were in separate drills your analogy does not hold. In that case it would be either on the coach for poorly organizing the locations or on the front office for not providing enough space so the coach can do so.

H2o Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I'm all for bringing Rambo back too. He made some nice plays for this defense last year and the guy loves to hit people. I hope Aaron walks away from the game with his health intact and finds happiness elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heitz Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 If this is sarcasm....Blanton was signed for this possibility, correct? I was going to ask the exact same question last night - "Pretty much the worst thing that could happen", really with Aaron's neck injury THIS is the worst that could happen? o_O Did I miss him being ruled out for the year? Hopefully the neck will be fine, he'll get his head right and he'll come back to play at full-speed, with full confidence during the season. It's not a crusade.

Yes I have been critical of Rex but I have been so in cases where he deserved it. This injury is on the design of the practice? You do know they're playing football, fighting for positioning and the ball and that, yes, sometimes they have big unexpected collisions? Was Williams not following the line painted on the ground that he was supposed to follow? Not sure if people here thought that AW would never take a big hit, or what. He did, he has a concussion, let's just pray that the neck is OK and that his confidence isn't shook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
