Is Clinton Really Hurting?

His knee is fine, thats not an issue. He knows the system so there is no need to risk him in these meaningless games. But I do think a little live action would help the line get their blocking timing down a little better.

What he said ^

I know LT doesn't play in preseason games, but does he practice like normal?

I think someone said he works without pads.

that would be the only reason why I would say that CP is not just faking it, or milking a minor injury. If he's not practicing at all I'd think that there's something wrong with him.

He shouldn't be in there trying to help protect the QB with a line that is still an experiment. He would play if it were regular season, and I bet he would play if Wade had worked and Samuels was healthy.

Why try to develop a rhythm behind a line that isn't in sync?

And Eli Manning works with "pads"...if you know what I mean ;)

But seriously folks, I'm not worried about CP missing games in August. I think he'll be raring to go Sept. 9

I don't think Steven Jackson is playing right now either. It makes sense to rest these guys when they wind up being over 50% of your offense.

I've had tendonitis before. It's basically just some soreness, annoying but not that detrimental. I'm sure if CP's not smokescreening, he'll be good to go full steam ahead week one anyways.

Really none of the top running backs play in the pre season. Jackson, Tomlinson, if Gore wasnt hurt he wouldnt be playing either on a side note did anyone else hear that Ronnie Brown was taken out of the starting lineup and placed on KO returns

CP will be fine by week one I. He is getting in conditioning work. We have all heard that he has run and rides the bike at practice. He just doesn't practice with the team. Which is a little wierd. It reminds me of TO riding a bike all last offseason and then getting in there in week one. And as much as I like Clinton, he really wears his heart on his sleeve with the media sometimes. Saying things that I doubt Gibbs and Co. want to hear, but hey that's one of the reasons that we all love him so much.
