Shawn Andrews chemical imbalance thread

[fansince61]

Why does he use getting shots as an indicator that he wants to play? I doubt heroin addicts want to play but they shoot themselves up all the time

Gene "Big Daddy" Lipscom was an All-Pro Def. Tackle for the Colts (in the fifties) and he was one bad ass heroin addict.  A "freightening individual" as John Gordy and Alex karras tell the story in "Mad Ducks and Bears"   Maybe the best sports book ever

what

[General_Failure]

i personally love the guy whether he plays or not...i just want him on the damn field

The problem is he hasn't been on the field in forever, and shows no signs of getting back there. And in typical Reid fashion, they rebuilt a major portion of the team around a piece that doesn't fit. Fast but small linebackers that can't tackle, an inaccurate QB throwing 50 times a game throwing to receivers who can't get open, and now building the offensive line out of the friends and family of a guy who probably won't be there.

Ha - then I stand corrected. Maybe Andrews should start shooting up to help deal with the depression. At the very least, it would surely cure his back pain.

GF - even if Andrews doesn't play the Friends & Family OL are still supposedly pretty good

i agree with most all of that...except the linebackers arent even fast

and i blame reid for andrews more than i would ever get upset and blame andrews altho in this particular case i blame neither because the big kid had an upside that you couldnt ignore and im always down to take a shot at guys like that...

that said there were red flags all over andrews in that draft so if youre gonna go crazy on someone go crazy on reid

Lipscomb also died of a heroin overdose during the offseason, so one way or the other Andrews wouldn't be a problem anymore.

I think this recieving corps is actually pretty good.

You have Desean Jackson who will be one of the best WR's in the NFL this year, who the hell knows what you are going to get out of Kevin Curtis this year, Avant is a solid reciever and then the rest all suck + Maclin who will probably do nothing this year, but 1-3 I'm not sure you are going to find many teams that are so obviously better.

[Seabiscuit36]

how do the receivers relate to Andrews? 

[SunMo]

they're his cousins

[Diomedes]

brought in to help the big kid out, of course

[QB Eagles]

Does he have any imaginary friends who can play linebacker?

[mpmcgraw]

i like bananas

[MDS]
