QuoteMeanwhile, Correll Buckhalter, who limped off the practice field Friday morning, has a bruise on his surgically-repaired right knee. Buckhalter could be back on the field as early as Saturday.

Boo!

Hey, we're better off losing Pinkston than Buck right now.

General_Failure · August 05, 2005, 04:27:26 PM

Buck's gonna get hurt sooner or later, and I'd rather lose him while there's time to find a crappy replacement.

Buck is a lot more important than Pinkston. Not saying Pinkston isn't important, but Buck is more.

General_Failure · August 05, 2005, 04:30:32 PM

For his great blocking and receiving skills? His durability?

MURP · August 05, 2005, 04:31:10 PM

lol, Dorsey will be available all year, bank on it.

His power running, his moves, and the depth. We have a lot more WR depth than RB depth. At least quality depth anyway. Westbrook is fragile as well. If we lost Buck AND Westbrook we are completely screwed. We need a quality 2nd RB, and Buckhalter is that guy.

Welcome back to 2002. I'm not buying what you're selling.

I agree that Buck at this point is more important than Pinky. We have Lewis to step in and fill in the void set by Pinkston, if Buck went down we really don't have anything at this point. Now it will be imperative for one of the young WRs to step up whether it is Perez, Jenkins, McMullen, or Brown. I would really like to see Billy step it up but at this point that is just hope.

WEST is GOD · August 05, 2005, 04:38:38 PM

At least Buck has proven he can be a threat. Pinkston has only proven to be a role player. Buck had, what 7/8 TDs in 2002? We need a change of pace back.

Dude can't even catch the ball consistently in practice at training camp...don't hold your breath. The word's not hope...its MIRACLE.

I can't believe how much you guys dislike and underestimate Pinky. Oh well, and we move on. Reggie, Reggie, Reggie!! Now we can see how good Greg Lewis is when he gets more defensive focus as the year goes along, not going against some backup safety, 3rd corner, etc.

We agree on that. Someone make a note.
