Title: injuries
Post by: MikeO on September 15, 2014, 02:36:36 pm
Shelly Smith out at least 2 weeks. No word if Billy Turner is healthy yet...so it's Dallas Thomas time.

Misi should play this Sunday

Even. Clay looks like a mess.  That knee is obviously not 100%.

I guess Keller is retired after his injury?  Would be nice to have a sure handed healthy tight end in this offence!

I read something from Keller's agent that he was trying to rehab and get back into football.

Keller won't ever come back. He was injury prone and mediocre before the injury. Then he had the worst possible injury one could get. His career is over

Pouncey practiced today...probably won't play this week but will vs the Raiders in London. Also talk is moving Satele to Guard cause Dallas Thomas sucks and Shelly Smith is hurt and out a month

We need Pouncey back badly. Week 1 showed the Line is improved against average defensive competition, but will still get annihilated by a strong front 7. The Jets will murder us if we aren't healthy up front.

Considering how many times Buffalo sacked Tannehill last year, compared to week 2, I feel like there is still tangible improvement made in the o-line.

Improvement yes....but still not good. Both guards are below average. Miami is strong at LT, RT, and Center. But the Fins don't have a guard worth a damn on their roster. Colledge is decent but he did this last year in Arizona and the year before as well...started off good and broke down/wore down come Week 7 or so on. So, enjoy him now cause in a few weeks he may be total garbage.

QB's under pressure is one thing, pressure up the middle is almost impossible to survive. If the pressure was coming from the outside you can throw a TE over to help the tackle out or have a RB chip to help the tackle out. When its up the middle its just a matter of you better have good guards and center or else your screwed. The Fins improved the Tackles, Pouncey will be fine at Center...but the guards just flat out suck still

You bring in backs to block pressure up the middle too.  It can be helped.  But I see your point.  They will have to improve as the season continues.

Starks isn't playing sunday vs Oakland

I am worried, they got MJD back, Starks is out, Misi is doubtful.  It could be a long afternoon for the run defense.  I have faith that JO and Mitchell can be effective up the middle.

I thought I heard Jordan Tripp might play this Sunday. Is that true?

Moreno confirmed this morning to the press he is still 4 weeks away from returning to the field

Many people believe he was joking after previously stating he didn't want to get into saying a timetable. The fact he quit wearing his brace seems to say he is getting better.

He wasn't joking. That's why the fins signed Lamichael James

To the practice squad.

To the practice squad.

They signed him and put him there cause Moreno is at least a month away and Daniel Thomas is known for sucking. If Moreno was coming back soon....they don't make that move. Signing James is insurance incase Moreno is slow to recover or can't recover.

Who got cut from the practice squad to make room for James?

Moreno practiced some today. He hopes to play Sunday.  No word from the staff on it though.

Apparently he was joking ... just as had been suspected.

He played like garbage today so I'm not sure if he was joking. I think it was truly a game-time decision. He clearly isn't anywhere near healthy
