Witten has broken ribs? Out for how long? *Merge*

[superpunk]

well i tried to tell some of your zoners that witten has been playing hurt and something wrong with his ribs; i even suggested trading for tony gonzales, but i got shot down,now what do you have to say?

Thanks for the heads up, Doogie Howser?

I don't know. What sort of affirmation are you looking for? Do you really think it would have been wise to give up a third round pick (for a player that the Chiefs didn't even part with for a third, so it would have taken more) who is at the end of his career, when we have possibly the best TE in the league already, and gave up all that for Roy Williams....given all the circumstances, your idea was nonsensical, and remains that way whether or not Jason plays another snap this season. We invested a second in Martellus. He's gonna have to step up - Tony Gonzalez wouldn't have made a difference.

Witt will play

If it's broken, or cracked, or whatever, he'll miss Sunday's game (and he probably should) but he'll be back and ready to go for the Washington game and the stretch run.

when did you get a chance to speak with him?

Jason has a cracked rib and might play with protective gear, Henry has a slight Quad tear and also might be able to play per DMN Blog on DC.com

Witten is one tough mutha.....

 

[tyke1doe]

Just rest him for two weeks, I say. There's a pretty good chance we'd lose even if he did play, and it would only delay his healing.

I think this can be a statement game either way. Let the young, healthy guys play and see if they can stay with the Giants. If we lose by only a few points, then it tells everyone on this roster that at full strength, we should take teams out.

Let players rest and come back strong for the stretch run, starting with the Commanders.

I think this team will have a renewed confidence and focus after the bye.

he plays with all heart and leaves nothing on the table. it will be hard to keep him off the field.

 

[LongSnapper]

can we just stay home this weekend and go trick or treating LOL:bang2:

 

[vicjagger]

Is Ware next? ...

I hope you don't rue this day...

 

[jobberone]

Now didn't Witten have an X Ray after the game (or was it during the game?) and that said he did NOT have a broken rib?

Jason will play Sunday.

Thank goodness it is just a broken rib, and not something serious like a broken pinky finger. Imagine how long Jason would be out with that

While I understand your pathetic attempts at 'humor' and real confusion about the break. But for Tony's sack, it's not a pinkie fracture. That's been repeated so much it's now "fact". It's a 'hand' fracture and would be beyond stupid for him to play with. Imagine that.

Wit is a tough dude but let's not be stupid out there. Tellus is still inconsistent, but I haven't noticed any big mistakes lately. If the ribs are cracked, two weeks rest will have them in a much better state than they will be if he takes a shot to them this weekend.

And honestly, I don't think Wit is going to make that big a difference. The OL can either protect the QB or they can't.

 

[percyhoward]

Rest him...Rest him.

Agreed...Agreed.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

man, this is tough news.....what is next?

Over react much?

And for you information, I am one that has been saying not to risk playing Romo till he is healthy.
What is truly pathetic is how people fly-off-the-handle!:laugh2:

 

[Beast_from_East]

Witten with cracked ribs and Henry with a quad tear.

This is almost becoming comical now, we can barely even field a complete unit now.

We are going to get freaking smoked by the G-men with half the team on the sideline.

 

[Achozen]

I wanna see Bennett on the field. Curtis is terrible.

Curtis Isn't even that good of a blocker.

Good grief, when it rains it pours.

I guess it's a long time coming considering how lucky this team has been on the injury front for a while now.

we've not been lucky for a while we've had injuries this year we're just really unlucky
