C.Biscuit97 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 That sucks. I loved him in his draft and he was going to be a star this year. This is is why nfl players should get every cent while they can. Stupid OTAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looked at Heap's stats, put up some good numbers for a while. Surprised. Yea I thought Heap was elite. Top 3 in the league during the prime of his career IMO. Sharpe obviously had Elway most of his career. Edited May 23, 2018 by GunnerBill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elroy16 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Quote Afterward, Chargers coach Anthony Lynn suggested Henry's injury was not serious. "He's fine," Lynn said. "We just held him back because we can." Ehh, so is he out for the year or are we supposed to believe Lynn? Kinda weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda weird. sometimes they're hard to diagnose. he probably got up and walked off just thinking it was a tweak and then realized it was torn later. didn't we have our lineman wear knees braces during training camp a couple years ago to avoid injuries like this? is there a brace that could prevent this during practices that isn't too restricting?

Yeah, that's true, something I didn't think about. Interesting thought there. Are Bills players forced to wear braces at this point in the year?

John from Riverside Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 My son tore his ACL his senior year of high school.....killing the full ride scholarship he had to play football I know they have come a long way with it....it is still devastating. Never game up though....plays semi pro ball down in Oregon and the just went undefeated last season and won their championship game not too long ago.

I would think that a healthy Carr and a returning Chiefs group would be the favorites there. 4 hours ago, Doc said: How do you figure? 4 hours ago, aristocrat said: the chargers? i mean anything can happen but that team just seems to underachive every year. Starting out 0-4 to go 9-7 was impressive. Unlike previous years, Rivers seems to have a solid coaching staff with Lynn and Gus Bradley. They have premier players on both sides of the ball: I view Rivers, Bosa, and Heyward as among the best players in the league at their position. Gordon and Allen can dazzle any given week. Bosa and Ingram may very well be the best DE duo in football. Sure, any team could be portrayed as a paper tiger, but I'm a big believer in them. As for how they'll fare inter-divisionally, it's anyone's guess since the AFCW is one of the most competitive divisions in football every given year. Denver - awful coaching staff, let's see if decent QB play can mask their issues - it'll be tough without a threatening run game Oakland - will GM/HC Gruden actually pay off? Who knows. Cutting Crabtree for Jordy, trading a 3rd for a FA-to-be Bryant, and giving up something for Hackenberg? Lol. I'll stay skepticial. KC - probably the division favorite, but Mahomes is still a mystery, albeit one that's likely to succeed I like their chances of being above 500 within the division and being a top WC contender at the very least Edited May 23, 2018 by JimKellyTryouts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Rusty Jones left Buffalo to go to Bears after being promoted the injury rate went up in Buffalo and down in Chicago but fields remained the same. There is something to be said about the science and a leader able to convince athletes to go along with his plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mike147 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 It is sad that Hunter Henry has got hurt, but ACL tears are becoming increasingly common in today's NFL. If I'm not mistaken the Chargers lost a fair amount of players to ACL injuries in the 2016 season in back to back weeks (Keenan Allen and Jason Verrett spring to mind?). Problem is these athletes are bigger and heavier than they used to be, and although their muscles and outer bodies might be bigger than players of years past, their ligaments and tendons are no bigger. When you get players going out there doing what they do, bigger and heavier than before, these injuries are bound to happen because our bodies can only take so much before they give in. With that said, hopefully this kid recovers and bounces back like Keenan Allen did for them last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys tend to hit the weight room like crazy, but if your muscles are far stronger than your tendons and ligaments, it's going to be bad when you start to push those things at full speed. You bet your ass I'd be doing yoga daily if I was a pro ball player. Kind of like using a fan belt designed for a 4 cylinder passenger car on an Indy race car. At 61 I'm taking up the yoga thing. Don't need to wait an hour or two until I can move around in the morning any more. Eye candy is is a nice fringe benefit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
