Rocky's out for the season, perhaps gone until 2009

This is just sickening.

Is that the same knee he got scoped last season? If so that's really messed up.

Nope. Other knee.

You have to feel for the guy. He was having a real breakout season and know it looks as if he will miss all of camp and at least the first month or so of the season.

WTF? This is bullshit.

Well JLC is reporting that Rocky tore his MCL and ACL, may be out until 2009, and that it typically takes 18-24 months to fully recover from such severe injuries. That's a big blow. Between the severe injuries to Thomas, Jansen, Campbell, Rocky, and Rogers, the loss of Sean Taylor, and the nagging injuries to Rabach, Wade, ARE, Moss, Thrash, Washington, Griffin and Smoot, it is nothing short of astounding that we are 7-7. That's 12/22 starters who are either done for or who have been suffering throughout the year.
Damn Gibbs sucks. Any coach can go undefeated with less than half of the players who were expected to play.

This getting beyond belief. Taylor's death, Rogers and McIntosh torn ACLs and MCLs. I can't think of a team that has lost 3 players of that caliber from one unit where all are under the age of 25. Credit the Skins with drafting well - where would this D be had we not drafted Landry? Drafting H.B. Blades also provides much needed depth in light of Rocky's injury, who I would be shocked if he wasn't placed on IR next year.

Say what you want about Gibbs and staff, but the character he instills has held this team together through extraordinary circumstances.

This is becoming ridiculous. Rocky was having a great year, and to know that he might miss 24 months is really unfortunate. If Rocky is going to be out until 2009 we might end up releasing him.

As a 2nd round pick, I don't believe that he has a huge cap number, and I'm pretty sure that he's signed through 2010. He'll look to come back strong that year before becoming a restricted free agent.

I sincerely doubt that. His cap number is relatively low and he's a talent that you can't just bail on. He won't hold a roster spot because he'll be on the IR, no reason to release him.
