Status report on the health of Datko

[RashanGary]

Datco being healthy, having been able to work all last season, as experienced as he was coming out of a good ol program. . . He might be more game ready than most of this years 1st round picks, has more physical talent than most of them too.

I'm really pulling for Datko to crack the lineup this year. Maybe he could win the Starting RT spot, which would be huge given the competition that will be at that position. However, one thing concerns me - how come he couldn't get in the mix last year? He was on the practice squad and could have been moved up at anytime. Instead, Barclay comes up before him. Maybe they (the coaches) were still concerned about the injury and wanted to give him the entire year to heal? Nothing against Barclay - he came up and looked pretty good, but looking at draft status and Datko's ability prior to the injury - Datko should have wiped the floor with Barclay. I don't know.

After sitting and thinking about it, TT drafting guys like Datko and then this past draft - Charles Johnson - makes me really like these moves. Guys that you know can play, but have some kind of minor red flag, whether it be injury or personality or whatever - take a 7th round flier on them. If it works out, you're a genius. If not, it was a 7th round pick - no big deal.

It was a joke JH.

IIRC: At the end on his junior year, Datko was touted as a possible first-rounder, he then tore his labrum, not labia, Fritz, which scared everyone off so we'll see. *fingers crossed*

If Sherrod does not come back from his injury people will start thinking it was a torn labia, not a leg fractured in two places.

I always had a sneaking suspicion that Spoon liked seeing guys with their shirts off.

dude, his athletic numbers are the same. Sherrod does have crazy long arms, but datco comes from good coaching and has a full year under his belt with the packers. Thats on the practice field, working. Its not being a non believer. Its being realistic. If Sherry left college right now, hed probably be undrafted. 1.5 years out of football is a big problem, man.

He's entered the Vortex to the Black Hole.

Spun out of control....flux'd too mux'd !

Legs crossed tightly >>> both hands on top of head >>> OUCH !!

Can't concentrate on play like that. It's terrible !
