Helu would be perfect as a change of pace. Gotta stay healthy though as you say.

Totally agree and Royster is the reliever, as much as I love Morris I don't want him worn out. We need to see more Royster, Shanahan has to give more than 3 carries a game.

Something not mentioned is the injuries combined with the cap hit. It's joy like we have BM a huge contract, how many other players could we have had if not for the cap hit.

We're operating as a small market team this year and next. No matter how you look at it, we won't have much depth for the rest of the year and all of next year.

Well, good job good effort.

I can only help and laugh when I see this thread title.

I was watching the game yesterday and thought to myself "How soon until BW gets injured?"

I hate being right sometimes. We rushed back a guy who nearly had a torn ACL before to play and IRONY, he completely tears the Other ACL! Wow. I'll say this, those 3ish quarters that BW played he looked like a very good SS. I remember reading here from people that went to training camp, that BW was awful and should be cut, but from what I saw of him, he looked beast. It was the eagles though...so we'll really know how good he is next year, and regardless of how great he looked, we should still sign/draft a SS.

I'm still pumped for Dallas

Wait a minute...so injuries aren't the reason for our 4-6 record? (sarcasm)

I kinda think we're worse off injury wise because for the most part our team lacks depth, but so do the Eagles and especially on the oline.

That said, I still don't believe the injury to Garcon really matters. Moss and Davis are still our best downfield targets, so the loss of Davis mattered. But that's about it offensively unless you counted on Brown.

Defensive injuries a made a big difference though. Yesterday proved that.

What facts? I didn't see any...

EDIT: and if you're not interested in making a point and backing it up with some type of proof then not many will be interested in said point. Moreover, if you openly eschew rational evaluation people will probably only continue to ridicule you.

But he's given one specific, solid example of his opinion. You've given none. And clamored aboard with someone who said he'd look up his "facts" later lmao. Keep going...this is getting good.

I also than named a handful of others who went down during the season. No offense but if you dont believe me that the 2011 Giants were ravaged by injury isnt it your job to do the research? I aint doing it again.

He can't do research dude he's really busy...pay attention.

Agreed. Not sure what you had in mind but Royster should get the 2nd or third quarter of every game IMO.

Evan Royster only has 13 carries this season for 48 yards(3.7 per rush). Either Mike Shanahan see Royster as unproductive or he's just been extremely impressive with Alfred Morris that Royster just hasn't gotten many opportunities.

[That Guy]

well, 1 int 2 PDs and 7 tackles in a half is huge. as is only playing 30 minutes of football in an entire season.


I guess te only good news is that tanard and meriweather will both be available next year, so we may be okay there. I'd still bring in another safety, 1-2 cbs and a RT though.

[hooskins]

Lol, this thread made for a good read on the crapper.

[Meks]

wow.... just.....

wow

[Monkeydad]

Cheer up. Dallas has worse injury problems than us.

Bold is IR, out for year. Pink is likely out for Thursday, plus the bolded guys. Their O-line and defense are both hurting bad. RB is very shaky too. Felix Jones is banged up and not 100% despite not appearing on the injury report.

Merriweather being lost sucks but if you watched the Bears last night with Jason Campbell at QB and NOT Jay Cutler, losing a certain someone on our team would be waaaay worse. All I can say is that at some point these backups have to earn their pay and make plays, if not, we just can't keep them around next year. If Romo will just throw it up like he has done so far all year, maybe the Skins can get 2 or 3 picks and that might make the difference.
