For some reason i confused Carriker with Kerrigan, something I said I would not do.

Honestly, I don't see how this is good for either party unless he truly is 100%. I don't trust this medical staff, haven't since at least 2006. Fletcher apparently has played with this symptom(?) for weeks, according to him.

So perhaps that's why he's been playing so poorly. Perhaps poorly isn't the right word, but he definitely hasn't been his usual self. So if he isn't 100% on the field, not only is he still hurting himself, but he's also hurting the team.

I don't know why, and it just seems like this medical staff waits till something gets severe to look at it, rather than pouncing on it early to prevent problems. Now I know Fletcher doesn't like his information known or even to talk about it, so maybe he's partially at fault, but what about the other players?

I can understand our discussions and differences about football stuff -- that's what this forum's all about. (Even though most of us would be hard pressed to distinguish a 3-4 from a 4-3 alignment on any given play)

But I will never understand these kinds of comments on medical matters and making judgments regarding the competence of our medical staff. Just stop it, you have no idea what you're talking about (unless you're an MD, and then you wouldn't make these comments...)

And just what does "what about the other players" mean?

If you are referring to diagnosing injuries, rightfully so, I don't know what I'm talking about, but their track record on the other hand is another story.

Adam Archuleta, his back problems magically disappeared when we brought him here in 2006 right? Atogwe magically was 100% healthy when he came here? Even though the Rams had cut him after signing an extension because of injuries? Rogers eyes were good to go right? Landry's Achilles? Pierre Garcons injury which was supposed to keep him out a week max.

Those are just a couple of the MANY examples.

I can keep going. There are way too many things this team misses, some small, some big. Hell didn't Cooley just say he met with the doctor and when asked how his knee was he said "fine" and the doc told good and that he's cleared to play?

Medical staff IS a problem.

It makes today all that more important. ^^

I didn't see Fletch every play, but he didn't look himself from what I saw. Still better than anybody except maybe an "on fire" Riley we could put in his place.

Hope he can play well against Carolina, then enjoy the bye.

[RGIII]

From what I saw Fletcher wasn't 100% and/or his game just sharply declined. There was only one play he made today. All others were misses.

We need to put in more of Keenan Robinson, he can play and is quick, he may be a rookie, but he is younger and faster and has potential unlike Fletcher now

i think chris baker could be one half of the fat tubs we need at nose. haven't paid close attention, but has cofield lined up at end while baker is at nose?

we need another tub in the rotation for nt. not knocking cofield, just think he makes a better 3-4 end.

Another long forgotten injury is Neild. I liked him, though I know he was borderline making the team.

good call, he turned it on at various times. hopefully he comes back strong

My take on Fletch is this...he's the leader of a bad defense. Yes he lines up every game, but would it kill them to at least put in Robinson in for a series or two? Or put him in on passing downs?
