Re: Injury News: Scherff, PRichardson, and Lauvao Out for the Year
 

I was pissed on draft day when we did not get a LG.
I was more pissed when we signed FA PRichardson an injury prone WR for a ton of money.
I was even more pissed when re-signed an Injury prone LG Lauvao that we cut and nobody else wanted. We singed him because we had no other choice. Our FO and Coaching staff thought Kouandjio should be our starter. WTF! Kouandjio sucks.
Back before the season started I said neither Richardson or Lauvao would NOT make it through the whole season...why? Because of their track record. They are very injury prone. Why do we keep signing players like this?

I can't help but wonder what that was like today. Did they show up and Gruden looked at his checklist and said "check mark, all candidates have 2 arms and legs each. Book 'em boys."

Or maybe it was the opposite of the famous AP workout. Maybe the rest of the group was so awful these guys stood out by being slightly less awful.

Austin Howard has 88 NFL starts. He's not going to be Trent Williams but he should be an upgrade over Christian this year.

Cooper is a former top ten pick with some good years but a lot of injuries. Hopefully some time off helped him get right.

Bowanko played 16 games last year for the Ravens, not much else on him.

These aren't CFL players trying to make it in the NFL, these are professionals that aren't very good like the rest of our roster.
:D

Injury News: Scherff, PRichardson, and Lauvao Out for the Year
 

Honestly even with them our ceiling was a 10-6 division title and very likely first round exit. That was the ceiling. It is a respectable year but it is no championship. It is a disappointment for real contenders actually. Lol. So I am just not going to let this news devastate me. I would have been more crushed drinking all the kool aid that ceiling would have brought with it just to be bought back down to Earth with a loud thump.
The cold hard facts are that we are several pieces away from being a real contender and they include quarterback and head coach.

Re: Injury News: Scherff, PRichardson, and Lauvao Out for the Year
 

Wow, this is insane:

"The Redskins signed Richardson in the offseason to a five-year deal worth up to $40 million, wanting more speed at receiver. He had suffered a torn ACL in Seattle during a playoff game in 2015, but it was his shoulder that spoiled his first Redskins season. [B]He hurt it early in training camp and eventually the bone started to become visible, almost poking through his skin. Richardson insisted on playing despite the issue, but it required having his shoulder numbed before games.[/B]"

I was pissed when tbey traded for Alex Smith. That guy sucks!

Re: Injury News: Scherff, PRichardson, and Lauvao Out for the Year
 

It was actually Keim who made this comment after Scherff was hurt:

Reed is pissed. looked like he was yelling at some players on the Falcons, upset about the play. moses upset too. Gets flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct after the play.

Nope, o-linemen need their hands to grab, pull, punch, and push. D-linemen can play with a club in their hands, o-linemen, not so much.

[quote=skinsfaninok;1206007]I dont see why they would not bring in Dez at this point. I mean what is there to lose?[/quote]

Your team!! No need for a cancer, obviously no one wants his ass.

Well, the Saints are bringing in Dez and other WRs for a workout apparently.
