Twitter: Frederick will not participate in OTAs or minicamp

[charron]

You should be. He's been out of the game for a year with an autoimmune disease which causes weakness and tingling. His job is to move 300lb+ defensive tackles. Looney was okay last year, but Beard might never be the same.

I'm not worried cause Looney played just fine all last year. I'd like fred back and all but it's not like looney was bad at the position.

 

[jrumann59]

Wow...Frederick didn't even play last year, but he needs shoulder surgery? Was this an injury that happened pre-Gullain-Barre?

Not a doctor but I guess maybe due to the nature of GBS they were worried he would not be able to rehab the shoulder properly.

 

[visionary]

Does he still get a Driven long sleeve?

Well, he probably knows they 'finished' nothing when they had the 'Finish' long sleeve so may as well get the new one

Most who recover are fine especially if caught early enough.

 

[GMO415]

As long as he does TC we're fine.

They aren't elite athletes, though.

 

[Ranching]

Maybe half and half?

Those half and half guys make me a bit nervous.

Mark Schelreth (sp) was diagnosed late and made a full recovery. He has shared his story and it was also almost 20 years ago

Not worried about fredbeard at all. Looney played just fine and should start with the 1's untill fred can earn his job back. Same for Witten with the TE group. You don't play for a year you earn your spot back.

every time I see your username it makes me want some charro beans

Good news

Last thing he needs is to get hurt early and also looney can get more reps it’s a win win

No need to rush his rehab/conditioning. He will be back. His 90% is better than most players 100%.

Most likely. That would be two major issues and not enough energy to do both.

 

[Doomsday101]

I feel confident in Frederick coming back. Doctors wanted to wait until they felt comfortable about performing the shoulder procedure and he should be ready to go for the upcoming season. He will be doing rehab work on the side as he gets ready for camp

Those half and half guys make me a bit nervous.

Yeah, I prefer one position instead of flex; swing tackles and CBs notwithstanding. More cohesive play as a unit.

So you like swingers?

You used the words position, flex, swing and unit in one post. It's a good thing I don't have a dirty mind.

Especially

Yeah, there's only room for one dirty mind in this room! I kinda liked that Cardinal's female coach - heard she played tight end.

 

[75boyz]

Freddy is my worry, Smith is.

This.

 

[Pantone282C]

This.

Yup. Fredbeard is gonna be ready when it counts. We need Tyron to stay healthy and so he can be at his best.
Even Zack Martin had a stinger last year. Godspeed Oline!

 

[reddyuta]

I would think Looney would get those snaps

I feel McGovern is better than looney right now,we will see in TC.
