OL Bill Nagy waived

[AbeBeta]

On shoulder rehab, very few have survived a Tommy John surgery for long, with a high intensity workload was resumed immediately. Wonder what that means for an athlete and following strictly a 'company' approach to his own career?

On this point you are correct. Tommy John surgery recipients do poorly in shoulder rehab.

Perhaps that is because the Tommy John surgery involves the elbow.

 

[Stash]

For the young players trying to work up to an individual role, and who will be on the field most of this Saturday's game, this is actually better for them. As there is little opportunity to develop up bad mental processes and retain continuity of their own development.

There comes a point when the offense as a whole suffers greatly as a result of this inexperience and instability on the offensive line.

And I think that time is now.

You're limiting what every player not on the offensive line can get done.

Stash, purely on a basis of a problem, I won't argue against that. It is a valid concern.

So, does that now mean that Strasburg had elbow survery instead?

Wow, that knocks the argument completely out of the water....the water....the water.

What does having a bum ankle/foot do now? You start stretching the shoulder...?

Your argument was never even in the water to begin with.

If you only insult and toss crap, that will always be the case...nothing new there.

We still have Hanna and the guy from Penn State (not even going to attempt to spell his name). Also Albright and McQuistan have played tight end on occasion as well right??

I still think they should be looking at signing Holland.

First, we only had three healthy tight ends on the roster who actually know how to play the position, and Phillips is just returning from injury. We cannot go through the rest of camp and preseason with only three tight ends, utilizing players who are completely new to the position.

Second, signing Flaherty does not preclude signing Holland or anyone else.

Nagy at least came from a very strong weight and conditioning program in college. Not sure there's even any positive spin on losing what we were counting on as a key backup at two OL positions.

Callahan had some good things to say about him today, though. Let's you know a little bit about what the team thinks of the player:

“I’m not disappointed (in him) at all,” Callahan said. “I’ll tell you why: Bill Nagy is a hell of a football player. It’s unfortunate that he has had these injuries occur. I think the world of him.”

Callahan also went on to predict that the NFL has not seen the last of Nagy.

“Once he gets healthy, he’s going to play in the National Football League,” Callahan said. “There’s no doubt about that. He’s a strong kid. He’s a prideful kid. He was getting better with us. Unfortunately injuries happen in this game.”

Mr. Bill, it's nice to have you about...

Nagy could use some more bulk. He gets another off-season to get that. He'll come to camp next year in the mix as a backup C-G.

Basically, this is a red shirt year for him

Nagy came from the best WT program in college football as a 5th year senior. He is not going to add more bulk or get much stronger then he is right now.

Should have kept Nagy.....he will be starting for the Lions in 2013 or 2014.

It was an idiotic decision. If he was good enough to start opening day last year, he was worth developing for another year. He would cost about 250k and no cap dollars.

the OL was really really bad last year so starting on that OL is meaningless

the OL this year is likely to be just as bad and most of our projected 5 starters would be backups on most NFL teams (except smith)

nagy was going to be a backup to that sorry bunch so i dont think i am going to shed a tear that he was let go

our front office does not know how to evaluate OL talent and undervalues a solid OL anyway
