sorry but from a medical background.....Sully's injury is likely to never really get back to a normal range and his postion is exactly the WORST sort of strain for someone with that injury. It sucks but realistically it would be foolish to game plan him as a starter again. Clemmings is surrounded by such poor talent right now that I think its impossible to judge him. Gotta give him another year. Loadholt, well, he MIGHT come back strong and his past record is certainly good enough to hope for full recovery but these are real risky hopes. We MUST have a better CORE on OL. We are way past the time for watchful, hopeful waiting.

What do you think the chamces of a full recovery for Loadholt? Also, does Anthony Barr have jsut nagging injuries, in your opinion, or does he maybe have other more serious problems?chicagopurple wrote:sorry but from a medical background.....Sully's injury is likely to never really get back to a normal range and his postion is exactly the WORST sort of strain for someone with that injury.

That's not the case though!! He has Mike Harris next to him who was a BETTER RT than him anyways. What anyone else on the line does beyond that doesn't have much to do with him. He's single handledly getting beat. 1 on 1 blocking where he is simply getting toasted because of his hands or slow feet.chicagopurple wrote:sorry but from a medical background.....Sully's injury is likely to never really get back to a normal range and his postion is exactly the WORST sort of strain for someone with that injury.

Even if Phil comes back at 80%, he's better than Clemmings right now.
You could be right about Sullys injury, I'm no doctor, but he was still a very good center. We can still draft or sign a center too.
I understand that we can't rely on guys coming off of injuries and we DO need to draft and sign guys for depth/starter purposes. But at the same time we shouldn't get rid of every lineman we have because they all "suck".
I'm not saying we should get rid of Clemmings by any means but we better not rely on him starting because that would be terrible. I'm at the point now where I am dead set on Fusco needing to move back to RG. We definitely need 2-3 solid depth/starters

yes we do need 2-3 prospects, I agree...
I have no idea what happened to Barr. I guess I am in denial and blindly hoping its all mild and temporary...losing him would suck. There is only so much you can estimate with NFL injuries, the teams cover up the facts better then the KGB. It IS rather personal medical info anyways. But Sully's situation got documented better then most and its just a real problematic area to get injured and rarely gets close to fully healed.
