Claiborne playing through knee soreness

FYI this is knee Mo is referring to:

Yeah - I was down on him after the game but I guess he played pretty well and I hope he continues. The dropped INT was a killer. He has to make that play.

I guess you didn't watch the video he actually dropped 2 picks and deflected a 3rd pass...

This guy went from 0-100 so quick. He really turned it around.

From TC reports you would think T-Will would be the bounce back player and the guy to actually step it up.

MO is proving he can be legit. He still loves to put his hands all over WR's, but at least he's covering better.

That's nasty.

 

[Bleu Star]

Oh I'm so relieved Claiborne!! Dude, look across the locker room at Wittens knees/ankles. Now just put the microphone down and slowly walk away.

LOL. EXACTLY!

 

[StarBoyz83]

In dallas this really means he's out the next 6-8 weeks lol

What a gladiator.

If he wants to have a career in the NFL, he better start playing through that discomfort, because he's cultivated a history of developing nagging injuries and not being capable of playing through them since he started the league. If he can't manage some discomfort in his final/contract year with Dallas, then he needs to start making plans outside of football, because he will be staring down a contract with very little guaranteed money...essentially a "pay for play" deal. His track record over the past 4 years has proven to be predictably unpredictable.

Ahhhh remember I was telling you this during the offseason?

from the article - http://www.***BANNED-URL***/sports/...ness-not-stopping-me-i-m-going-to-be-good.ece

"It's been good," Claiborne said. "Last week I just got a little bit sore. It's even more like playing on the turf. But it's not stopping me. It's just something that I was just a little sore. I'm going to be good."

Jones also pointed out during the interview how Claiborne has "stepped up with his willingness to get out there and play above his pain."

"I know my body," said Claiborne, who clarified that he's experiencing soreness in both knees. "You know what you can go through and what you can't go through. I feel like I've been through it all.

"I'm just trying to stay up on my rehab really, just staying on things to do after practice to get myself ready for the next day, the things that you can't take for granted. I try my best to stay up on them and do as much as I can.

"I feel good. There ain't nothing more that I can say. I feel better than I've felt in a long time."

I give you props for calling it. MO is turning it around in my eyes.

T-Will, he's dead to me.

At least MO was able to blame injuries.

I'm very disappointed myself in twill. However in his defense Weeden threw to him all of 2 times that game. I refuse to believe he was blanketed every other play. Captain check down was just unwilling to let the ball fly beyond 5 yards to our running backs

 

[kevm3]

I don't see why this is a big deal. Someone asked about his knee and Claiborne answered that it's still a little sore and he's going to play through it.

Terrance Williams is what he is... a #2 receiver. Hopefully now people will appreciate Dez Bryant more and how much he opens up the offense because other teams have to gameplan to stop him.

Doesn't say a word? I heard from two or three different reporters that Witten said his knee and ankles were sore but he would still play. And there was nothing wrong with him doing so. Just as there's nothing wrong with Mo saying he's playing through soreness. Or the countless other atheletes I've heard over the last 40 years say they're playing through soreness.
Some fans will make Mt. Everest out of a mole hill.........

Exactly. Does it have anything to do with a dozen reporters asking him these same questions day after day? Nahhhhhhhhhh.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

This guy always have excuses. I thought he had this clear up last year during surgery and I was under the impression soreness is cammon after acl surgeries.

Its not a excuse. He's played well. He doesn't need any excuses.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Just when I started warming up to Claiborne for being tough and playing better, he throws this out.

If they could all just be like Witten.

Claiborne is playing through it? Everyone isn't going to be Witten. And I can't fault a guy who doesn't want to be a cripple by the time he's 40 either.

Exactly. Witten does the same thing and he's tough. Claiborne does it and he's making excuses. The agenda on Claiborne.....he just won't ever escape it. I'm convinced. After this season people will wish he was here.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Yeah, admittedly...I'm probably guilty of not being impressed by Mo. Takes more than 3 good games and a dropped pick to impress me for a #4 pick.

Number 4 pick for what? Mo wasn't drafted 4th overall if that was what you was trying to say

 

[lostar2009]

Its not a excuse. He's played well. He doesn't need any excuses.

Then why talk about sore knees after Julio burn him Sunday?
