meniscal tears never ever fully heal. Once they are damaged, there is no such thing as mensical transplant. The area will develop osteoarthritis. Of course, ALL football players develop some Osteoarthritic damage but with a damaged meniscus it is very much an accelerated process.

Holy crap the injuries can stop any time now!!

Like the signing of Hillman. One of the only half way decent backs out there.

I'm at the point where I officially hate Kalil. I cant imagine Clemmings will be much worse. Plus lets not forget that LT was Clemmings' natural position coming out of college. Is there any word on Mike Harris and what the hell happened with him??

I have no problem with McKinnon/Asiata combo. They can be a pretty dangerous backfield. And Hillman could be a sleeper.

LT is going to be real interesting. I really hope Clemmings does a lot better than Kalil and then we dont have to focus on that position as much. We're going to need a RT sooner than later as well. Even if Clemmings plays a little better than Kalil did, we should be fine

Get ready.

Pretty sure he was on the offensive side of the ball until his Jr/Sr season when he was RT.

Nope but scuttlebut is not good. Potentially career-ending. I'm thinking some kind of major illness vs. physical injury.

I wish I had your optimism. This has just as much of a chance to go horrible as it does to be even a slight improvement. Clemmings was abysmal at RT. Sure, let's start him at left.

Hard to tell who is more cursed, Bradford or the Vikings.
At least Clemmings will be eased into action since it's just the Panthers this week...right?

:lol:

It's so tragic that all you can do is laugh. Maybe Bradford and the Vikes were made for one another, and like algebra, two negatives will make a positive?

I'm making light of it for now, that's for certain. I don't want to assume that it will play out negatively on sunday cause there's no accounting for what lies in the hearts of these guys. Clemmings may stink it up, maybe not...but there are a bunch of other guys out there on both sides of the ball who are no doubt feeling the tragic shadow descending on their promising season. I believe Zimmer will have them geeked up and full of piss and vinegar come gameday.
