Maybe he had a cramp and they just held him out to make sure it didn't turn into something worse. To me it looked like he'd sprained his knee.

:pack:
He is probably past rookie, but is definitely in his second year.
Rookie: No off season (lockout), shortened camp (by about 10-15% with lockout), plus majority camp at Guard, got into 5 games before being hurt in Game #14
Second Year: zero
Third Year: PUP, activated to roster on Nov 5, 2013, on roster for 7 games, played a very limited number of snaps
Fourth Year: First full offseason, second (and first full) camp. All time at Tackle.
My only concern with last night's game was that it was the Raiders. Their Defense has some talent, but its not quite the Rams. Perry is even harder to judge, Raiders have completely rebuilt their O line.
PB-
Wood got a special announcement as the Raiders were coming onto the field. I said to my wife, that will be the only visiting team that get's cheered when coming on the field all year. The announced him again in the 2nd half and put him up on the jumbotrons. They did the same for James Jones a little later and he got a good round of applause also.
The wifi at Lambeau sucks. I tried to post but it took so long to upload that the website would kick me out.
We had a lot of the action on the south end zone last night. Jordy's TD was right in front of us.
No shit the wifi sucks... there are 15,000 people all using it at once! ;P
Mark Cuban was on a panel at one of the sports analytic conferences and one of the questions considered was about fan experience and making it interactive (real time stats, fantasy updates, guess the play call, player of the game, etc.). Everyone was positive until Cuban spoke up (this was mid to late aughts) about the difficulty and cost of wi-fi for everyone at a basketball arena.
How much throughput you need to sustain to make it work for the majority and the technological challenge of making it happen was something not often mentioned he thought.
But in other forums, he has clearly stated another reason to resist full scale implementation. He doesn't want to take more eyeballs off the event. He claims that fans go to the phone only when bored. I think this is a cousin of the oldster complaint that no one witnesses events anymore, they are recording or photographing the event they will watch later.
I don't buy the complaint for two reasons; one, not everyone is doing it and two, Super 8 film and Nikon cameras didn't cause people to be shut-ins and neither will smart phones.
My money is that the real reason teams haven't gone whole hog on stadium wide, reliable, high-throughput wi-fi is that they have not figured out how to realize revenue for it yet. Why disturb the money making apple cart just to provide another bell and whistle? Once they can drive revenue through it, it will happen.
Why use the WiFi? The entire Green Bay area is 4G-LTE! F the WiFi.
Yeah. Having a nice enough connection at a stadium for everyone to have reasonable wireless data speeds would be quite an expense, especially when you consider that it would be unused for the overwhelming majority of the calendar year.
