Shazier

[Cheesehead Craig]

I remember seeing a video from a player who was talking about how hard it is to get on a team as just a PS player. Once your cut from the team you lose access to all the weights and training staff. You are then on your own to get yourself into NFL shape and you can't just go to your local Anytime Fitness and expect to compete at that high level. If those guys want to continue their NFL careers they're spending a lot of money out of pocket for personal trainers and access to equipment. And then you're hoping that you get onto a team. But if you end up spending a significant portion of that money that you do get paid on trying to make teams and you get stuck on practice squads that's a rough life regardless. Because then those guys have to make themselves available during the NFL season, so it's hard for them to pursue a career outside of football until they decide to give up on it.

Yes.

[woodbuck27]

Yeah, those practice squad guys are making an absolute killing week to week.

And none of you would play professional football for free. None of you are that stupid.

No kidding.

I just want to be a Manager.

Pretty sure you overestimate a good many posters around here.

I ....woodbuck27 respond to bobblehead:

Is that your arrogance I detect again? Here's a challenge.

Bring 'your Big Brain' to the Pro Pickem next Season; and we'll see how really bright, you really are.

Don't include any Non - USA Citizens on your List; of not being as bright as you imagine you might be.

The Packerrats not USA Citizens are intelligent Posters at Packerrats.

I'll name just a few of non-USA Posters here I truly respect as bright (intelligent).:

UpNorth and Guinness and mmmdk and ** I'm 'no slouch'.

** I've proof of that fact, in case you doubt my intelligence and overall knowledge of the NFL.

News on the NFL Network:

Still this AM (Sat. Dec. 12, 2017)...Good News as there isn't any official Team Update after the surgery.

It's still No News is Good News.

Schefter reports that Shazier still has movement but it being limited as long as he has swelling from the injury.

He writes like the only open question is his playing career.

http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/2...nt-back-injury

While he remains hospitalized in Pittsburgh, Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier continues to show gradual improvement from his back injury, people familiar with his condition told ESPN.

Doctors are controlling and limiting his movement as they wait for the swelling and bruising in his back to subside, sources said.

It is premature to say whether Shazier will play football again, but the focus right now is not on his playing career but on trying to facilitate his recovery.

thats good news for him

the weird thing to me about the injury, was that it was the side of the neck that took the blow, but it was the middle of his back that was injured

kinda reminded me of this

I've won 50+ person pickem pools and did decent playing in this one. Straight up is just boring imo.

Excellent points.

Don't forget that the best PEDs aren't cheap either.

"gradual improvement"...hope it continues.

Shazier posted a video of he and family watching Steelers game last night. So he is alert and his phone hand/arm are working fine.

Not meaning any disrespect:

I don't mix up Gambling Vs Pro Pickem Analysis.

I study the NFL and use competent analysis to make concrete predictions. I use everything to my advantage to do that.

That doesn't usually have any huge bearing on a Vegas Line and any Pro Sports Matchup.
