Don't get your hopes up. :)

Reminds me of a TE here at Iowa, Tony Moeaki.

Dude was the highest rated TE coming out of high school (the only TE higher than MartyB) yet he's made of glass as well.

However, when he's on the field, he makes plays and is a game changer. You just have to take the good with the bad. He may not be on the field all the time, but when he is, he'll make an impact.

Doesn't apply.

yes, it does.

no one is immune to the laws of physics.

there is a reason why guys like jerry rice can do everything well at full speed but a 4.2 guy can't do anything except try to slow down.

felix was running quite quickly by people but got tripped and landed on his knee. e=mc (squared) still applies....

Do the Felix bashers cheer when he breaks a long run and scores a TD?


Same for the Romo bashers. When he makes an amazing play do the Cowboys fans who hate Romo just sit there with no emotion?


I know I boo Jerry Jones everytime I see him, regardless of how the Cowboys are playing.

Felix has some injury concerns but when that guy is healthy, he is lights out. I'm very excited to get him back in the line-up. I bet Atlanta wishes he wasn't playing.

You jest, of course, but instead of sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for him to make a big play, I'm cringing and waiting for the next injury. :(

Im so pumped for this game. I hope Felix does some big things Sunday.

If we play how we're capable of playing, I think very few teams in this league can beat us.

If we continue to play ourselves and the other team, like we've done for quite some time now, we're going to be a .500 ballclub, close to what we've been for quite some time.

Hopefully we play up to our capabilities.

Got a bad feeling about this.

Yeah, me too...The mere fact that he's gonna be wearing a knee brace and his penchant for injuries this early in his career doesn't bode well...We'll see

I sure hope Felix isn't as fragile as he seems. He's such a talented guy.

Do you think there's a blueprint among the defensive players on how to bring down Felix and injure him?

Just a thought..

Probably something you ate.


I for one welcome Felix back. More explosion to the offense.

How fast he is has nothing to do with how often he gets hurt. There is no connection no matter how much you or anyone else would like to manufacture one.

His injuries have been a hamstring, and then a toe while rehabbing, and this year a knee sprain falling out of bounds.

Those aren't exactly separated shoulders and cracked ribs.

And he is really not that fast. More quick than fast.
