Yep, I remember getting upset when Dallas signed Marc Columbo after all of his knee injuries and rehab in Chicago. He was in Chicago for 4 years, never finished a season, missed an entire season. In his first 4 years in Chicago he had only played in 19 games, all due to injury.
And man am I eating my words now.

CRedskinsRule 03-10-2010, 01:32 PM Looks like the team did its homework with putting together this contract. Had this been a Vinny signing, of the 7 mil, 5 mil would have been guaranteed or something crazy like that.
From Jason Reid (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/maake-kemoeatu-defensive-linem.html):
This also fits my proposition, that the FO is skimping on guaranteed money, and making players show what they can do first.
SBXVII 03-10-2010, 01:39 PM Just to be inquisitive...... has anyone else sufford a similar injury as an NFL player and done well after sergury?
If so great. I hope the best for him especially since he's a Redskin now. I'm sitting here imagining the combinations.....
Daniels, Kemo, AH
Orakpo, Kemo/AH, Carter

Lotus 03-10-2010, 01:42 PM Those jonesing for a free agent signing can exhale a bit...
Dirtbag59 03-10-2010, 01:42 PM If shifting to the 3-4, a big 0 technique NT is needed to occupy 2 O-linmen on every play. This guy has that size and in the past has shown that motor.
That doesn't sound like Jay Ratliff at all Sandtrap. Shame on you, you should know better :D

True, but you should know there is always an "exception to the rule" somewhere. Take the NBA and a little guy named Spud Webb. A 5' 6" point guard that could dunk, and dunk well enough to win the slam dunk competition in 1986.
We lucked out with Ratliff honestly. He was drafted in the 7th round as a DE. We had Jason Ferguson as the NT at the time.
Rat struggled as DE for his first couple of years never cracking the starting rotation. And then Fergy got hurt and Rat was forced into converting to NT and never relenquished the job and we sent Fergy off to Miami for a draft pick.
The rest, as they say, is history.

Guys come back from Achille's injuries all the time now, it's not the career killer it used to be.

nice
ethat001 03-10-2010, 02:12 PM Since I didn't know much about Achilles injuries, I looked it up. Seems like a pretty nasty injury based on this report. However, surgery gets better all the time.... I trust our new front office, and his contract is all incentive laden. Still a great signing.
One-Third of NFL Players With Achilles Tendon Injuries Sidelined
ScienceDaily (Jan. 15, 2010) — More than a third of National Football League (NFL) players who sustained an Achilles tendon injury were never able to return to professional play according to research in the current issue of Foot & Ankle Specialist (published by SAGE). The injured players who did return to active play averaged a 50% reduction in their power ratings.
The aim of the study was to document the epidemiology of Achilles tendon ruptures in the NFL and to quantify the impact of these injuries on player performance. Previous studies have looked at the occurrence of Achilles tendon ruptures in elite athletes in general, but very little was known about how often that type of injury occurred specifically in the NFL or how it affected the athlete's future ability to play.
Researchers looked at publicly available NFL data including websites that summarized games, statistics and injuries, to identify players who sustained complete Achilles tendon rupture. Also noted were such variables as the player's position, age, and number of years in the league prior to the injury. In addition, yearly performance statistics were collected for the players for the years before and after the injuries.
The study found that Achilles tendon ruptures can be career-altering injuries. Nearly 36% of players who sustained this injury never returned to play in the NFL and the ones who were able to return were never able to return to their pre-injury levels of play.
"This article provides a novel approach to shed light on valuable epidemiologic data for Achilles tendon ruptures among NFL players and the functional outcome of the injury," write authors Selene G. Parekh, Walter H. Wray, III, Olubusola Brimmo, Brian J. Sennett and Keith L. Wapner. "Future studies with the cooperation of the NFL and their official injury database are needed to fully evaluate the impact of Achilles injuries in this at-risk population."
