Tired of excuses. You guys grip all season about the team and yet much of the issues happen in the off season. He needs to get this done. I'm not giving any free passes to anyone. For me and the off season I expect players to get the medical attention they need, I expect players mandatory or voluntary to attend OTA and mini camps, I expect players to stay out of trouble during the off season. It is you and others that tend to excuse players for what they do during the off season, not me. hell every off season it is the same BS of you guys giving players these excuses, oh well he does not have to get it done because he wants a contract, oh this OTA is not mandatory so they really do not need to go if they got something better to do. I expect much from this team and these players. As for any bitterness towards Lawrence? Hell I want him signed to a long term deal I know he is a good player and I hope he is here for a good while. So you are confusing me with someone else.
First of all, what are you babbling about with regards to me making excuses for the players? I have rarely done that.
It has been said the rehab for his shoulder after this surgery could be like 8-10 weeks, which if he has the surgery next week, would put him well in line to be able to practice during some of the OTAs and not miss any of August camp. And the first set of workouts are non-contact anyway so he probably wouldn't be all that limited and be able to go through some drills. And the first two weeks of the first organized team workouts is conditioning and rehab anyway by league rules.
OTAs don't start until the end of May, which is 12 weeks away.
So why the hell do you guys have your panties in a bunch over this? Now if the delayed surgery results in him missing some of August camp, sure, then yeah, let's complain. Shoot, I will be right there with you if his delay causes him to miss some of camp.
But based on the little we've heard, that doesn't appear to be the case at this point.
