can Danny Amendola play RB?


JK... Looks like it's Alonzo Coleman time. Michael Bennett was recently available but San Diego just signed him. Same deal with Tatum Bell. I'm not sure what other street free agents are out there.

I think we'll be fine with Tashard Choice taking a few carries from Barber. There just won't be contrasting styles. Barber will hit you in the mouth and then Choice will come in and hit you in the mouth.

I hope Isaiah Stanback can finally man up, stay healthy, and show something as a kick returner.

Choice can run. But can he block?

I'm not counting on Stanback to do anything with that shoulder. He really should just go ahead with the surgery, IMO. He doesn't really contribute. And I'm not certain he can with his injuries.

Sorry, but I refuse to believe you played football with a TORN ligament in your ankle. Strained or hyperextended ligament? MAYBE, but it's damn near impossible to even walk correctly with a torn ligament anywhere in your foot.

A strain, sprain, and tear are all the same. We just use strain for small ones, sprains for worse and tears for bad ones.

The big toe is probably your most important body part for an athlete.

Well no but I get the idea. Your great toe provides a lot of balance and more. A RB needs it more than you and I. Not a good injury for an athlete.

Well, not to add insult to injury but it's better than turf toe this way. This can be fixed. Their able to take you toe right off and put it back on nowadays. The turf toe would follow him throughout his career. This is terrible news nonetheless.

Turf toe is what he has. That's a lay term for several things but he has the worse thing associated with that term. And that's a big time surgery although I've never seen it done. Just from hearing about it. Even the specialty in orthopedics for foot and ankle is relatively new.

I hope the team has enough sense to give MB some rest when possible now.

Not sure with his style of running he can survive the year without rest.
Choice has to step up .

Choice blocked very well in the pre-season. There should be no difference between Tashard's blocking and Felix's blocking. Both are rookies that are going to make mistakes.

Did they rush him back?


It's hard to say but they reaaly pushed him to get back. I have been suggesting to bring him back slowly, not saying they didn't, but was telling fans not to be in a hurry.

The hammy injury probably ended up Felix to hurt is toe because of the instability of the leg. JMO!

Figures. Should have known. With this team, with this staff and the reporting that has been going on, should have known that it was more. We'll be lucky if Austin doesn't show up missing a leg sometime this week.

Think it might be time for a new medical staff, Koiser, Newman and now Felix have possibly been rushed back (possibly) causing them to get injured further.

LOL!

I thought the same thing.

God almighty... I just don't know what it is with this team the reporting/misinterpreting injuries.

Add in Roy Williams.

This medical staff is even worse than the one in the early 90s. That staff told Aikman that his back was fine. He got a second opinion and had surgery prior to the 91 season. That staff also misdiagnosed Jimmy Smith's appendicitis.

Lol.. the funny thing is... rewatching the skins game. Austin was in on the very last play. He was the deep "precautionary" guy when Romo took his last snap... ***?

I just heard this.

Man this sucks.

We had better make sure we have choice and battle if he comes up ready to play. With the physical games coming up, we cant just give it to barber 25 times every week.

If they were that bad,how can you explain almost 3 to 4 years of being almost injury free with the same staff ?:star:

Because during those 3-4 years, BP almost never reported injuries or at least didn't give updates. Pressers started off with "no change" and that would be the end of it.

Wade OTOH gives ham-handed updates, but reveal just as little as BP.

Maybe because the guys just didn't get injured. They missed two big injuries that I gave in my examples. That was pretty bad. Plus I said this staff was worse. They would have missed those same injuries to Aikman and Smith.
