We will find a way...we are due for some good fortune..finish the season strong and develop some players while we are at it.

There is hope. Look at the free agent finds we have had, Alexander, Heyer, Wilson, Mason. I'm sure that we have a few gems in our practice squad, maybe Sinclair, Trucks if we can get him back, Westbrook? We'll see.

godfrey will get the start id imagine

Sigh..... I have never ever seen anything like this. Ever.

I think we're gonna be fine with Blades. The guy was a tackling machine in college. He's definitely starter material, IMO.

but hes more of a middle linebacker than outside linebacker. i think he will eventually replace fletcher when he retires at inside, but outside for this game should be godfrey

I am not willing to accept that he's gone until 2009 yet...the range is 9 to 12 months. 9 months would be September...everyone heals differently...well see what happens. Carson Palmer torn up his knee in January and made it back for opening day the next year. Well see what happens.

LBs rely heavily on speed and switching direction. Palmer is a pocket passer who can be effective without mobility. The question is, even if Rocky can come back next season at some point, how effective can he really be?

I know...just wishfull thinking...he's young maybe his recovery can be on the short end and he can play at least some of next season.

Does anyone know if Rocky wears knee braces? Do braces slow down a players mobility - if not why wouldn't players take the precaution like a hockey player wears a helmet and wear knee braces to help prevent injuries?

You mean like these? Yeah, I'd imagine that would slow him down.

That's real real real bad news. This guy was having a very good season. Hope this won't affect our D too much especially against Adrian Peterson next week.

It's astonishing that we're even thinking "playoffs" right now given the injuries this season.

We have every right to be the bottom-dwellers of the NFL, yet we're still in the hunt. Amazing.

onlydarksets · 12-18-2007, 09:10 AM

That's it - bionic knees for everyone on the team.

MTK · 12-18-2007, 09:31 AM

It's depressing to think that we might have to go the first half of next season without two key guys like Rocky and Carlos, and of course we'll never have Taylor back.

12thMan · 12-18-2007, 09:40 AM

This is just wrecking my mood. I was looking forward to Rocky chasing Peterson down all game.
