Twigby ready to set doubters straight

Re: Twigby ready to set doubters straight

He missed his rookie year with a broken ankle. I think there was an injury that kept him outta the U too. He could have had another season ender as a pro too. I think this is his 4th or 5th year with one full non-injured season under his belt.

rookie year: Nope. He was signed midseason by us off practice squad and played 5. He was out at the end for 3 games with a hammy.

U: Nope. He didn't have an injury...he just wasnt good enough.

It might be nice if you could get your facts straight.

I don't think you understand Ty: any player who was injured last year, regardless of whether or not he missed playing time in the past due to injury, is "injury prone". We can make up injuries from the past in order to justify these claims if need be.

Sorry.

But, didn't those 5 picks he had his rookie year counter the injuries. And, man, do your remember those sacks he had as well...and how about those licks he put on Marino.

Twigby is always injured. He's like a twig. Thus the name.

Dissapointed to hear Bishop didn't get any reps this week. WTF. He is a playmaker.

I only recall the ankle injury last season....now granted, I only have 2 seasons of knowing who the hell he is, but one injured ankle doesn't make "always injured"...am I forgetting some??

I said I THINK. Fuck off, guy.

U: Opted not to go because he would have had to cut his hair. You're wrong, as usual.

In 2006, Bigby missed out with an injury. I'm 90% sure of this.

In 2008, Bigby was hurt all year.

Lurker, fuck off with your condescending bullshit. Jenkins is injury prone. How can you possibly disagree with that. Harrell is injury prone. How can you disagree with that? Bigby has been injured for two seasons to playing well in one. 2 injured : 1 solid = injury prone.

[Tony Oday]

Bishop is a solid back up thats it.

He's an important ST guy too. He has the perfect mentality for a special teamer, in terms of being willing to sacrifice his body in order to deliver crushing hits. Now, he'll probably never be Steve Tasker, but he'll stick as a member of our special teams for as many seasons as he's willing to play like a man possessed.

so true sorry should have put that as well.

Re: Twigby ready to set doubters straight

Jenkins is injury prone. How can you possibly disagree with that.

I can disagree with it because it's not correct. Prior to tearing a pectoral muscle last year, Jenkins played in all but 2 games as a Packer (in 2006 he sustained an ankle injury in week 5 which caused him to miss 2 games). So prior to tearing his pec, he played in 66 of 68 games since he first put on a Packer uniform.

And despite how "injured" he was in 2007, he still managed to start 15 games (plus two in the playoffs) and have a career year in terms of tackles and pressures. The knock on him during 2007 was not that he sustained more minor injuries than anybody else (in fact, he sustained a pretty normal number of minor injuries, since everybody gets them during a football season) it was that the coaches wanted him to improve his ability to play through pain. But "not being able to play through pain" does not make you injury prone.

Since a torn pectoral muscle is not exactly an injury that it likely to reoccur if treated properly, there is absolutely no case for Jenkins being injury prone.

But no, I would not ever call "injury prone" a player who only missed two games in the last five years prior to sustaining a major injury. Particularly when that player is a lineman.

EDIT: Oh, and Jenkins also started every game during his season in NFL Europe, as well as every game during his Jr. and Sr. years at Central Michigan. He had limited action in his freshman and sophomore years and did not redshirt.

[Partial]

Okay, you're right and the coaches are wrong. It's well-documented that the coached didn't start Jenkins until the end of 2006 because he was injured. The coaches ripped him in 2007 for an underwhelming performance due to not playing through injuries. In 2008, he missed basically the entire season because of injury.

But you're right.

[MJZiggy]

I think you're thinking of someone else...

[red]

bigby is still over rated to me. he had a good run in the playoffs 2 years ago, and that's been it. and really you only say he had good games because he had a handful of big hits in those games

besides those big hits, in those few games, he's been JAG for us. he has yet to show the same effort and intencity that he showed in those few games

I could be wrong, but weren't you all over Grant's jock for having a great run at about the same time? Other than those few games grant hasn't been anything special either.

umm, i have no clue if that was me or not

doesn't sound like me

You did you think..as a way to buttress you point of being oft injured. But, you were wrong.

Miami: you said injured, now it is the hair. So, you lose the injury history to support your view and the reason he didn't go to miami.

But, you are wrong on this as well. That is bigby's story. too bad you'll never find one source that shows miami was actively recruiting him or even made him an offer.

BTW, did you know that miami wanted me to play football, but they wanted me to grow taller and get bigger. I didn't want that..so i chose to go to UW and not play football.

2006: Yep. But not an ankle. I already told you...missed 3 games at the end for a hammy.

You can not construe missing 3 games at the end of the season in 06 and being hurt in 08 as injury prone.

Not like i even like bigby..i think he stinks and would like him off the squad as soon as they can find someone better.

Jeez-o-petes, Partial. Next time, gather up the facts beforehand, and then make one of your bold statements.

You might be a good cornerback, Partial. You're always backpedaling.

That was a good opening for some Terrance and Phillip back and forth:

BOOM, this guy is such a twig. Can't even practice after x weeks off

[bobblehead]

Not sure I would bump a thread where I got absolutely schooled on the "jenkins is injury prone" debate.

but you are right....bigby is still hurt.

With the exception of Brett Favre everybody is Injury Prone. One of the most overused terms in sports.
