Our Injuries

I really think it's time to give Heyer some props. He filled in at RT and LT yesterday, AND no penalties. Never thought I would say it but he's become a valuable backup.

I agree. I said it befoer and I'll keep saying it. He is a valuable backup. Yeah he can't be a long term solution but he has worked to become a competent stop gap player and he can swing from left to right. He'll be in the league for a while if he can stay healthy.

I sure as shit thought Williams was done for the year when he was flopping around on the turf during the OT coin toss. But then to see him in the game was shocking, just glad the initial reports aren't too serious.

The O-Line giving up no penalties yesterday was a positive, but Shanny still needs to figure out a way to get his best 5 out there. Heyer is a serviceable backup at best, but he can't be relied on to be a full time starter, especially at LT. Hopefully Williams is ready to rock and roll come Sunday night as he'll be needed with Freeney and Mathis coming to town.

Yes NYC. Ha! I like Heyer at RT at LT he can be a liability.Heyer looked pretty strong in the running game at LT against Trent Cole. He's definitely a better player than last year, and a very serviceable backup tackle.

Never!
Heyer sucks cut him now....J/K
Heyer has always been a solid back-up, imo.
And i give him a pass on his performance form last year b/c he was injured for most of the season but played anyway. Its partially an indictment on our lack of depth that no one else was good enough to start over an injured Heyer.

I can't give any love for our line yesterday as they payed pretty shitty. THe only way they started playin OK was when just about all of GB players were hurt.

And they were all hurt too. The injury issue worked both ways.

No doubt, Clay Mathews getting hurt was the best thing that happened to our O-Line. But hay, that's the game...It's not our problem they lost their queen on the chessboard.

Speaking to the injury issue. If we had CP, if just for his pass blocking abilities, he qould have helped neutrilize at least some of the pass rush that the packers employed. In particular Clay Mathews.

So yes the injury front works both ways. If we have AH does that long run in the first happen? We can play the what if game all we want, but the fact is both teams got banged up ( happens alot in a game that was this violent ) and we won.

Where's the Goat? Can we not declare Heyer a BUST??
AND Btw...whats up with DMac? Hammy?? He looks a little nicked and I heard the guys talking on the telecast about a possible pull?

I can't say the oline is playing strong yet, especially by Shanny's historical standards. Hopefully we've got most of the personnel right and it's a matter of gelling together to make a dominant, all around unit. But right now, the run-blocking is sub-par at best and McNabb is hurried way too often.
