Matt Johnson reinjures hamstring

[TheDude]

So you're advocating that we not learn from our mistakes?

Stanback was a desperate reach pick just like Matt Johnson.

I still wonder why so many fans are so "excited" about Johnson getting on the field. I guess Johnson, being an unknown comodity, is a ray of hope to them.

I'm willing to bet that 99% of these "excited" fans had never heard of Johnson prior to April and have never seen him play a down of football.

Truer words...

Bob Sanders was a highly rated and a second round pick. I am pretty sure i can count on all pigs with wings how many people projected him to be drafted at all, let alone clamoring for him here.

he may be a player, but i dont get the CERTAINTY

time to move him to IR...stop wasting time and a roster spot. Kowalski is about due to come off of PUP anyway, so there's a spot without releasing an actually healthy player.

Hamstring injuries can turn to chronic injuries really fast. Just ask Miles Austin. I was just as anxious to watch the kid play as anyone else, but the reality is if he's already had 3 hamstring injuries in less than a year, then the odds are he'll be battling hamstring injuries his whole career.

I hope I'm wrong.

Emmitt Smith says hello.

I agree with the IR him stance. It's time to redshirt him and let him get his body right for next year.

The trainers do a pretty good job so let them take over his rehab.

Yep. Once he got his hamstring issue they also kept coming back.


Though Emmitt was a machine and still played with the hamstring issues, and played at a high level. I remember that SF Playoff game where he was runnign with 2 pulled hamstrings, and running well.

What is up with this guy? We're talking bout practice. Not a game. Not a game. We're talking bout practice. Not a game. Practice.

Emmitt started getting deep tissue massage for his hamstring issues.

I actually went to one of the massage guys that Emmitt used. He said that Emmitt wanted the type of massage that would injure most people because they were extremely deep tissue.

I got the impression that Emmitt sought these out on his own and that they were not part of Cowboys normal training process.

heard something about that some years ago. Emmitt was a little like TO in that he was willing to look for some fairly out there ways to heal and get better.

Yes, Emmitt did this on his own. I think it was during his 3rd or 4th year, but not 100% sure on that.

sore groin, lets put him on kick return.

 

[BlueStar22]

stupid players make stupid penalties.

I'd call the kid a china doll but it'd be an insult to most any and all of the china dolls world wide...my gosh just IR him already and start over next year: what a joke:bang2:
