What Happened to Mike Espy?

I saw him slip and fall on a cut in the second half and he just looked like he was out cold, then saw the cart come out to take him to the locker room. I haven't heard any diagnosis on him. Anyone know?

As much as I liked this this kid this isn't a big injury. We have 4 WR's with tons of experience that were going to play over him anyway. Don't get me wrong, I'd love for this kid to be healthy and get some experience but it isn't a pressing injury for the team as a whole. All we need is a solid special team, with decent speed, and decent hands to firm up the position. Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing Corey Bradford win the job since has experience and can supply the above lists characteristics.

The real question is...what are we going to do to still fill D.Dockery's spot. So far, no one has looked good or stepped up to fill his shoes. Likewise, Jansen hasn't looked good either. I know come week one J.Jansen will be ready to go but he has me worried with his play thus far in the regular season. Anyone else agree?

I think in terms of impact it may not be a big injury but come on dude, this guy is trying hard to make the roster and has played good this and last preseason. I feel bad for the guy to go out like that. Have a little sympathy.

Have a little sympathy? BooHoo!

He didn't have a chance to be on the starting roster anyway. He's been a decent receiver to give the starters a blow during training camp and preseason and that's it. He won't be missed.

As I said in my previous post, I would have loved to have the kid on the team. However, he wouldn't have made a big impact. And you're right, he has earned an opportunity to try and prove himself. It sucks for him this year. I wish McAddley was better then he is...he has the size that every QB likes.

You hate to see the young man's season cut short before it even starts, but at least it wasn't Jason Campbell. The Steelers have a penchant for that low blow crap just ask Carson Palmer and the Bengals.

Lloyd is a soild 3rd stringer and also Pinkston who knows could be good at 4th string but i perfer Thresh.

Alligator arms Pinkston probably won't see a lot of playing time this season. I enjoyed the days when he dropped important catches for the Eagles.

What do you think if the Skins signed Fergueson from the Pack, They just released him?

chrisl13 · 08-19-2007, 08:19 PM

this is a blow for him. he didnt get touched or anything on the play...sorta like what happened to prioleau last year

mmil12 · 08-19-2007, 08:23 PM

I still would rather see them use the following:
1. Moss
2. ARE
3. Lloyd
4. Thrash
5. Bradford

Yes. That should be 1-5.

dmek25 · 08-19-2007, 09:00 PM
