Packer Injury Thread

[pbmax]

"On if team is being more cautious with injuries early in the season... 'No, I think sometimes we may have done that in the past. I think our medical department tilts that way, but the reality is you’re only given 16 games and I know from a player’s perspective, they want to play in every single game. If Bryan Bulaga feels that he can go in this game, that’ll be a part of the decision. But we’re not saving anybody for next week or so forth. If Bryan cannot go, it will be clearly from a medical standpoint that we don’t feel it’s in his best interest.'"

I am actually unsure if he is saying anything different than past practice. I think this quote is Holmgrenian.

The only info is that they used to be more cautious "in the past". Not sure that is true and it makes me think this is press conference word salad that allows him to say Bulaga won't sit if he can play. Sounds definitive and authoritarian, but its also patently obvious.

Everyone realizes that if Bulaga starts on Sunday, he'll leave the game injured again...right? We all know this....right?

But deep down we cheer for Bulaga....cause he is a good guy and is a stellar OL when he's in

That's the difference between Bulaga and Fluffy
Simply put one can play and one can't

Is Bulaga more of a "good guy" than Sherrod?

It's just a bandwagon thing. Remember how people cheered against James Jones, James Starks, Darren Sharper early in their stumbling careers? Once you identify a player as bad, you kinda want them to fuck-up to validate your judgment, and to prod the coach to get um out of your site. If they turn it around, all is forgiven, in fact you kinda saw a spark there all along.

If Sherrod plays and screws the pooch, I'll be self-satisfied and say "I told you so."
If Sherrod has a good game, I'll be happy and relieved, say "I told you so."
I've been very careful to stake-out firm positions on both sides of the Sherry issue.

Honestly I don't know much about Sherrod the person so I have no idea; I just don't think he's as good
