Re: McNabb out for the Jets
 

No need to put him out there against that pass rush.

As long as he's healthy for the 12th

HA ! I didn't want to say it

Re: McNabb out for the Jets
 

So with McNabb out, that has to hurt all of the other guys looking to make a showing this week. A lot of times the 3rd preseason game sees the starters going 3 Qtrs. Willie Parker will be hurt I would think as well as Devin Thomas. So we get to see what Grossman looks like with the first team against a quality oppnent. On second thought with McNabb's history of injuries, maybe we need to see that anyway?

Seems like that's not a good sign.

Re: McNabb out for the Jets
 

Well, I was one of the people arguing that he's not injury prone when we signed him. Oops. This doesn't help my argument.

I'm actually sort of glad he's not gonna play. That's Jets D is downright nasty. It's the preseason. It would be a shame to have DM suffer a worse injury in a meaningless game. Hopefully Rexy makes it out alive.

Wow, What happened?? Not a good sign for our team of over the hill guys. We are not real young.

McNabb misses a few games every year. If thats the case this year then hopefully it will be the 2 game variety rather then the 6 game variety. This will be a good test for Grossman, so hopefully he's up to the task.

Re: McNabb out for the Jets
 

As long as he's good for 9/12 that's all that matters.

I guess I will take the glass half full view too. From that point of view, can I wonder out loud why we wouldn't use the 4th preseason game as the "tune up". I know it isn't the normal process, but there are 10 days between the Az game and the Dallas game.

we need to trade albert haynesworth to the vikings for sage rosenfels... like yesterday.

I don't see that happening, after all, Houston and KS traded Sage to Minnesota and kept Rex. I like the concept of trading AH to Tampa Bay. They aren't a contender, and making them stronger makes sense in terms of making the Saints schedule just a bit harder.

Are you being serious? no way do I want Clayton for AH, the guy sucks. Plus we are not battling the Saints for anything, we are just hoping to make the playoffs not battle for the NFC title.

No, I don't like that one. Is Sage any kind of upgrade of Rex?


Don't really see the upside.

You never know where this team may be come the end of December MRed.

I am not counting us out of anything yet.

Hell I am not even crowning the Saints again, this is a new season and there is so much turnover year in and year out in the NFL to really be able to predict the winners in the NFC this year.

Well, to be fair, I didn't say Clayton for AH, I said AH to Tampa Bay. I don't think Clayton for AH straight up would be any type of deal, but throw in picks, or just their 3rd conditional to a 2nd and I might be up for it.

My point in terms of the Saints was I would rather AH go to a non-contender that makes a contender's road harder, than somewhere like Minnesota, where AH could be a key player and end up making the Skins look foolish. I certainly could see us on the 9-7 10-6 area, and maybe the Saints or Falcons lose a game to TB and gives us a wild card. (and I'm not ruling out the Div Championship till we are mathematically eliminated)

My top teams to trade him to would be TB, Seattle, or a few AFC teams.

Where did CRed say anything about Clayton?

BHA-What we need to do is trade Haynesworth for Chris Simms! Am I right?

Scud-I'm glad he's not playing either

Lotus-Time for Bartel to shine!

It is being reported the Skins and TB would be good suitors for a AH/ Clayton swap, I assumed he was referring to that, my bad.

Re: McNabb out for the Jets
 

SS and CRed sniffed it out. This is all just a ruse to give our secret weapon, Bartel, some playing time without other teams' getting suspicious. Next stop Pro Bowl for #10!

Re: McNabb out for the Jets
 

Kelly is also out again which leads me to think that he is either to going to be placed on the PUP or IR list.

Re: McNabb out for the Jets
 

Doesn't really bother me, preseason is nothing, it's best to keep him healthy for the 12th. I'm guessing we'll get a good chance to see what Grossman can do for us with the first string and get another look at Beck and or Bartel.

Re: McNabb out for the Jets
 

Kelly #12 even sucks on Madden ... and that' saying something

Re: McNabb out for the Jets
 

Yeah he's slow as piss on there.

Re: McNabb out for the Jets
 

It could be that we won't see Donovan again until Sept. 12th.

Apparently he can't be placed on the PUP list, since he'd have to be injured BEFORE training camp to do this. IR is still possible I suppose. Sucks, I had hopes for him, but now there's pretty much little to no justification for him to be on our roster. If he is, then Shanahan would violate all his rules of a player proving himself by playing in practice. Banks, Armstrong and even Galloway I guess have shown more than Kelly.

Too bad, MK hurt his hamstring at McNabb's camp. The question will always be - [U][I]did McNabb work his receivers too hard at "Hell week"?[/I][/U]

Re: McNabb out for the Jets
 

He'll be fine by sept. 12. Don't freak out

If Clayton is cut, I could see us taking a look but an AH/Clayton swap doesn't make sense to me

So everyone is saying DM won't play because of some tweet. Tweeting is so gay I'll wait for the hard copy.

If I'm not mistaken it was confirmed by several media outlets around lunch time that Shanahan said he wouldn't play.

Really depends on who you follow. There are a lot of good twitter feeds out there, but of course there are probably 10x as much that are bad and worthless.

I try to follow official things, such as the official Capitals, Redskins, Nationals, D.C United etc as well as the big bloggers for the teams, that way I don't run into the problem of whether something is legit or fake.

Re: McNabb out for the Jets
 

I guess you guys didn't the Theismannesqu take down of McNabb on his "intentional grounding"call...

I swear I saw his left leg get caught on the ground and bent backwords as the big guy fell on him.
I'm amazed honestly that he's not done for the season or career. Cause what I witnessed,was the Theismann break that ended his career. Not a pretty site.

Everyone in this forum,should be and feel relieved imo...
Cause he should be wearing a cast instead of walking boot.
Mcnabb is very lucky,we don't play on turf or he was playing at Veterans stadium on that tackle.

I am relieved Shanny is doing this.
And I think a lot of good can come out of Rex starting.

#1)With Mcnabbs previous injury history of missing games,this will allow us to see how good this offense can be run with Grossman and the 1st team on the field.(O-line,Wr's,etc) with grossman at the helm instead of the "Route 66" Rex got against the Ravens.

#2)Rex is not nearly as cool and poised in the Pocket as Mcnabb,so we will get a good look at how the O-line can look. Not to mention McNabbs mobility even at his age is still better than grossman,so we will get to really see how Trent Williams can block the blindside of grossman without the presence of McNabb stepping up in the pocket with his pocket prowness. This game will be a great litmus test for trent Williams and the others imo...

#3)We will get to see which WR's can step up this game with Rex in the game. Who has the consistency to play well with mcnabb or without.

Can Armstrong continue his performance thus far with Rex?
Can Moss adapt to Rex?
How will Cooley or Davis fair with Rex?

Will the jets Defense respect our passing game with Rex or clog the LOS like the ravens did when they were getting burned?

Either way...Rex Ryan is going to be bringin' the House and we don't need McNabb cutting his forehead open and bleeding all over the field the way Eli did against them.

I'm not sure sitting Mcnabb out this game [B]without an injury[/B] would be a bad idea,with Rex Ryan and the jets defensive tendencies to blitz everyone.

Lets sit mcnabb this game...run him for 1 qtr against Arizone if he's close to 100% and prepare for Dallas!

Maybe 2 Qtr's if the line is playing great against Arizona.

That's how I see things anyways.

Re: McNabb out for the Jets
 

Umm...Ace, Rex won't be bringing the house. Trust me. It's just a pre-season game.

Oh and your comment about the 'other' Rex, you're kidding right?
