Injuries from the game

as offical sponsor of ritchie i clearly say it was a fair/legal hit.  although ritchie was angry he couldn't get back out on the field to get even with that little basterd.

^^^^
exactly...its the same thing every eagle tries to do when going at bettis

if that was trotter on the bus i have a feeling this would be a different thread

If it was Trotter on Bettis Trotter would have whiffed and I'd say "I wish that retard would have taken out the world's largest midget."

I just saw on yahoo sports that Greg Richmond had back surgery for his herniated disc.

I'll have to go back and look at it (yes, I DVRed it), but at the time, I thought it was a pretty textbook open-field tackle.

I had no issue with Taylor's hit. I was just worried that Ritchie wasn't going to get up from it. If he tries to tackle Jon high, then he gets dozed for a TD.

Rod Hood showed what happened when you try to tackle high, you usually miss.

I think Rod Hood showed every possible mistake last night.

Except his INT was awesome.

Tackling low is what you're supposed to do (so that you don't get run over) but diving headlong at someone's knee area isn't what I consider a "good tackle." Maybe I'm just a stickler for form, but I can't stand watching guys diving at legs trying to bring someone down.

That's how I felt when I saw it.

lol, you guys are insane. 

[General_Failure]

Usually, but I know I saw him take out a little knife ...

[TexasEagle]

Eh, maybe.

It also bugs me when officials let defensive guys plow into guys that are already tackled and/or lying on the ground and they spear them in the back. Defenders can't breathe on a WR when they're running around but they can blast them in the back when they're lying on the ground not moving. The NFL boggles the mind sometimes.

I thought it was pepper spray...

No shtein. They must not be as defensive minded as the cool people.

Injury Update

Brown wasn't the only cornerback on the injury report. CB Matt Ware is suffering from a toe infection on the bottom of his big toe. Ware had to have to toe cut and drained, he is day-to-day.

RB Correll Buckhalter is going to continue rehab this week on his knee. The swelling is down, but not all the way. At the end of the week, Buckhalter's knee will be checked out again.

DE Trent Cole sprained his sternum in Monday night's loss at Pittsburgh. He is having an MRI on Wednesday.

DT Paul Grasmanis suffered a foot strain. The team believed it could have been a Lis franc sprain, but it's not. As for DE Jamaal Green's foot strain, the team is erring on the side of caution.

Offensive lineman Jamaal Jackson's tricep tear is improving. He is getting stronger, according to Coach Reid, and they are optimistic he will return soon.

LB Mike Labinjo suffered an MCL sprain in the Pittsburgh game and is day-to-day. FB Jon Ritchie is also day-to-day with a knee contusion on the same knee that he had ACL surgery on last season.
