Ya know it was a lot easier to complain about injuries when we sucked. Now.....I feel bad when I do.

With that said....suck it up Carter!! Wuss. You just started to kick some serious butt and now you're gonna leave me hanging? There ain't no I in team quad boy.

I feel better.

We need a Carter type of guy maybe Korey Toomer who is fast enough to spy Wilson

You don't win the superbowl in week 6. No need to rush him back for one game outside of the division.

Why would anyone ever give this information out on a Tuesday??? Even if you know your not going to play, you don't say it on Tuesday....Make it a GTD, and then shut up about it...This is either smoke or very dumb....Considering it's Carter, I'm leaning towards dumb, but I hope I'm wrong...

i fear this is going to be a year long kind of thing, play a game, miss a game routine. you don't get 100% healthy during the season.

Would rather have him for the long haul, stretch run. Even though a conference game, rather have him to help win division games.
Even if we lose Sunday, it may not be because Carter isn't in there.
This is where any depth or players can step up, show they belong in the NFL, which I think they have been doing. Hitchens has played well.

Especially when the injury is self-inflicted..........Dallas has a lot of those, IMO.

What gives, I wonder.............?

Exactly, we need to get our LB's healthy. If it means one more week for Carter and or McClain - do it. We need them long term to be playing together. On a side note, was disappointed to hear yesterday that if indeed we do sign McClain to a multi-year deal. That would probably mean no Bruce Carter - too much money tied up. That's a bummer ! I think Carter has finally found his home at Strong side LB and would love to be able to keep him with McClain in the center and Lee on the weak side. Hitchens as first off the bench, maybe Toomer by next year, and man I like the sound of that ! Shame it comes down to money, as always. Find a way Jerry, find a way !

............Lee contract took up too much space in the LB corp. in retrospect of injury history when trying to keep all 3

This sucks. We need speed out there to handle Harvin, and Wilson.

If McClain is out we have NO shot at this one.

There is a small shot but it falls primarily in the hands of the offense and, secondarily, the STs. The defense (without McClain and Carter) will do well enough to survive the onslaught that awaits them.
