BillsVet Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 It's well documented that Ashton Youboty's rookie season was a wash after he lost his mother during training camp. Last year he was relegated to the bench and it was hotly debated that he'd becoming a bust. He certainly turned things around in camp this year and became the nickel corner. Unfortunately, Youboty's missed three games and may not play again this week. It appears Corner or McKelvin will get the nod should AY not be able to go. By my count, this is 8 games over 2 seasons Youboty's missed. I'm continually amazed that some players aren't durable, while others always seem to be out there. This is not a statement on keeping Nate Clements, but NC has played in 120 straight games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStranger76 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 McKelvin and Corner both should have been playing more than they have IMO. Youboty can play but seems to be "soft".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just admitted you've yet to watch a Bills game. Enlighten me... how does Youboty appear to be soft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 You know what he means... undurable Is "undurable" a word? Regardless, it should be Youboty's new nickname. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStranger76 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Always missing time with "undisclosed" injuries..... like Youboty (foot) did not practice again today......Well, what exactly is wrong with his foot? They never go into detail. Like murra said, you knew that already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murra Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I meant the Big Cat, not murra. Sorry. Edit button broken? Anyways, I think you're ragging too hard on Youboty for something he can't help. He plays hard. He has been a presence this season, and if he comes back not playing up to par, then I will question him, until then...I hate when people rag on someone for getting hurt and their Mom dying.

JStranger76 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Never said anything about the dudes mom, just his ability to play with pain. When healthy, I like how he plays...solid tackler, aggressive.......and hope he plays this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murra Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Big difference between playing with pain and playing with injury. GO BILLS!!! That's what I was told. The stab on Timmy Connolly is sad. I feel bad that he is truly injury prone because when 100% healthy he's one of the greatest stickhandlers ever to lace up the skates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Miner Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2008/11/06/y...ntar-fasciitis/ So not being a doctor, what exactly is plantar fasciitis?

Sounds like someone needs to tell the boy to wear some shower sandals It is a very painful injury involving the tendons pulling away from the heel, and generally takes a long time to heal. You can attempt to use cortisone, but the future damage would be much greater. Been there, Done that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't recall how much time he missed (if any) but I do remember him trying to play through it. He might not have been the smartest RB we ever had, but he played through a lot of injuries and seemed like a tough SOB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStranger76 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Well at least they finally have come out and said what kind of injury it is. Was that so hard??? Why does it take these guys a month to figure out what wrong with the players??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdelma Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 He has what, I know a guy who has that injury. This guy just isn't tough enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurlyBurly51 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 According to CB this could put him on the shelf for the year. Time to start getting McKelvin or Corner or whoever ready to play slot. It's a shame really, because this kid looked like he finally turned the corner (no pun intended).

C.Biscuit97 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I think he is one of the skinniest NFL players I have ever seen. He definitely isn't built for 16 games. It's a shame because he was playing pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
