If hardware is required to repair the bone, it’s conceivable that Moss could be out until December

re: Updated: Hightower Torn ACL/Moss Out 5-7 Weeks
 

Confirmed. Done for the year

Re: Updated: Hightower Torn ACL/Moss Out 5-7 Weeks
 

Damn. Well, time for Torain and Helu to shine.

exactly, bring up Royster as well. Got faith in our depth at RB.

In regards to Moss, time for the young guys to get more work

Re: Updated: Hightower Torn ACL/Moss Out 5-7 Weeks
 

I brought this up in another thread. It sucks that some of these guys are hurt but let's be honest. Have we really been a top offense with Cooley and Moss as starters? I think the best year was 05. It's time to let these some of these guys that we drafted get in there and see what they can do. Even with Fletch. Yeah he's the team leader but why did we draft Riley? To be a bench warmer his whole career?

I'm listening to Shanny's presser right now. Just a minute ago he said that Hankerson has "been making some absolutely spectacular plays in practice." Hopefully the light is starting to come on for him. We need him.

Edit- I'm going to double post this in the Hankerson thread....

Re: Updated: Hightower Torn ACL/Moss Out 5-7 Weeks
 

Grossman's pneumonia is pretty bad- Shanny just said he'll be in the hospital for the next 48 hours. I guess he was running a very high temperature today.

That sucks.

There is good news though.

[quote]Typically, oral antibiotics, rest, simple analgesics, and fluids are sufficient for complete resolution.[/quote]

It also goes on to say that typical treatment requiring hospitalization last 1 to 2 days followed by 3 to 5 days of follow up.

who are you referring to? Moss? Hightower, or the redskins offense?

Re: Updated: Hightower Torn ACL/Moss Out 5-7 Weeks
 

This sucks for Hightower and the offense, however this might be good thing for Redskins in long run.. Hightower won't be able to command a large contract, thus making it easier for us to resign him in the off season. And this injury will give Helu plenty of chances to play.

Re: Updated: Hightower Torn ACL/Moss Out 5-7 Weeks
 

PLEASE DON'T START TORAIN THIS WEEK.. Please start Helu!!!

Re: Updated: Hightower Torn ACL/Moss Out 5-7 Weeks
 

Expected, but i still think wow. A real shame. Im hoping he makes complete recovery.

Im Not going to lie folks, maybe we really should look at T.O? I mean who else we got? AA has been AWOL this year which was to be expected and Gaffney is a number 2 at best, Fred Davis is our number 1 ATM.. Ouch

TO's going to Tennesee...or so goes the rumor. Beside what do we have Paul, Hankerson, and Austin for?

no. we drafted and added a ton of WR. Lets us play the young guys and get them some experience.

T.O.? Com'on Man!!!

All part of the "Suck for Luck" initiative. Muahahahah....I love it when a plan comes together.

Re: Updated: Hightower Torn ACL/Moss Out 5-7 Weeks
 

We need an Out For The Season Thread.

Hope Helu starts. I think we're in for some serious problems. I know I'm stating the obvious, but its going to be tough. Is that half of our starting offensive unit out?
Get Hankerson in there and get him some experience. Same goes for Helu, Austin.

Re: Updated: Hightower Torn ACL/Moss Out 5-7 Weeks
 

I don't understand why they don't run Torain between the tackles. I know we like to run the stretch runs (is that the name?) but I feel Helu would be better suited for those since he has more speed (well I feel Helu can do anything). Still, I think we should be fine with RBs, as long as our playcaller decides to run the ball.

Re: Updated: Hightower Torn ACL/Moss Out 5-7 Weeks
 

Time to see if any of the youth are ready. MS needs to encourage and get them all on board for the remainder of the season. Really looking forward to seeing who swims and who sinks.

MS also needs to encourage the veterans. I'm glad to hear him talk about that today, but I'd like to see some results. All this "Shanahan is changing the culture" won't mean sh*t unless the team does a better job at playing well when a lot is at stake. In the past two weeks, I've seen just a half a$$ performance in two important games. Players have to do their part no doubt, but in the end the actions of a team is a reflection of their coach.

Id run as far away from our oline as well!! I guess the strtch is as far as you can get!

Re: Updated: Hightower Torn ACL/Moss Out 5-7 Weeks
 

Torrain & Helu will be fine @ RB .. Total bummer for Hightower but we can survive that ... I was thinking today that maybe this is the time for Niles Paul to step up as a sleeper late round pick that blossoms. He seems to have a knack for plays along with Austin. Mix in Gaffney & Armstrong while basing your offense around pounding the rock & FRED DAVIS and things can be done. Season not over, but we are def fighting an up hill battle. Last 2 weeks sucked however the season will shake out this week in Toronto of all places. 4-3 and we roll the dice & see what happens. 3-4 and we are steamrolling the wrong way with a 3 game loosing streak.

Re: Updated: Hightower Torn ACL/Moss Out 5-7 Weeks
 

I look at the Moss and Hightower injuries as an opportunity to give Austin, Paul, Helu and Royster valuable experience. It would not surprise me to have all these guys step it up a notch.

Re: Updated: Hightower Torn ACL/Moss Out 5-7 Weeks
 

I cant believe someone mentioned T.O.

gag me with a wooden wagon wheel

Re: Updated: Hightower Torn ACL/Moss Out 5-7 Weeks
 

I think I was brave enough to suggest T.O. yesterday. Why? Moss is out 5-6 wks which I figured. Moss was our best WR. AA has had a ton of drops with Rex and it didn't change with Beck. Basically AA was our deep threat and Moss was our possession WR.

Gaffney has caught nothing long. Paul is only used for blocking. Austin could step up but why has it not happened previously? We need a possession WR, one who can keep defenses honest and one who will have to be accounted for by the defense to free up AA, Gaffney, Austin or whoever. I don't foresee Hankerson doing that or Stallworth.

Re: Updated: Hightower Torn ACL/Moss Out 5-7 Weeks
 

I still think that Hankerson is going to be a player very similar to Anquan Boldin. Let him play a couple games, make some catches, get those nerves down, and the guy is going to do big things for us. Mark it down. I watched some tape of him last year, and I would love to see the physicality that he displayed in college at this level. The guy has the tools, I think with a better Quarterback, (Barkley or RGIII) we could definitely see him succeed. Cant just throw out a wr as shit because he hasnt played like an all pro just yet. Take into consideration that we are working with a rookie, in a very short offseason situation, with some absolutely shit quarterbacks throwing him the ball. Let him build some consistency with our qb of the future, and this guy can light it up. I think he will be an all pro in his 3rd year here.

Re: Updated: Hightower Torn ACL/Moss Out 5-7 Weeks
 

Whats with all the Hankerson talk? The rookie reciever that should be generating buzz right now is Niles Paul.

I'm with you. I voiced my opinion on that in the gameday thread and got crucified and cussed out to the point where not only did I feel attacked, but to the point where I'm not completely comfortable voicing my opinion anymore. But wanted to let you know, I'm on board with ya.
