Wynn out for year

[Harlan Huckleby]

Actually, no, the article DID attribute his cramps to dehydration.

I read the articles. You can spin it as a diagnosis if you wish.

He will be camp fodder, just in case he turns it around, but camp fodder never the less.

maybe. maybe not. HE was the best runner on the roster this year. He looks like a Davenport caliber player to me, if he does things right.


keep on the sunny side of life, Patler!

I was simply relaying what the Packer medical staff said. I guess I should defer to your educated opinion over theirs, huh?

The med staff would have recommended more fluids for ANYBODY that has a cramping problem. That is not a statement certifying that Wynn's conditioning is fine, or a diagnosis of what caused the cramping. This is unknowable.

All I said was the staff indicated the cramps were caused by dehydration, and they felt they could control it knowing what the problem was.

What support do you have for your analysis of the cause? Anything more credible than the Packer medical staff?

I believe the spin is coming from you, I simply conveyed their statements.

[Patler]

Not my words, the medias:

[IMG ]As the Green Bay Packers take on the Washington Redskins today, watch as running back DeShawn Wynn tries to overcome his battle with dehydration. Wynn will have a special bottle on sidelines that will aid him in replenishing fluids and electrolytes in hopes that he won't have to exit the game.

Patler, the medical staff can not know that his cramping was due to dehyrdation. The media report sounds like a hard diagnosis, but it is not. Dehydration in the opening minutes of a game is odd to say the least. I wonder if his conditioning played a role.


McCarthy's quotes on Wynn today:

"Injuries are an unfortunate part of the game. I think you look at DeShawn Wynn, and I'm very pleased for what he's accomplished in the short time he's been here,'' McCarthy said. "He's a seventh-round pick; he had to fight like hell at the end of training camp (to make the team). Heck, he was our starting running back at one point.

"It's unfortunate that he has to go down on IR, but we're excited about DeShawn's future here. Because he has all the ability. He can be as good as he wants to be.''

Yup. I acknowledged that. TT said much the same, that he is counting on Wynn for next year. I still find it very peculiar that he was IR'ed so quickly.

Why not?

Patler, the medical staff can not know that his cramping was due to dehyrdation.

Why not?

Some things are knowable, such as the effect of humans on the CO2 balance of our planet, and some things are unknowable, such as whether or not an athlete's cramping can be medically attributed to dehydration.

Try to keep up, Patler.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Patler, the medical staff can not know that his cramping was due to dehyrdation.

Why not?

Because there are several possible causes of cramping. They can't with certainty pinpoint what happened. Overexertion, low salts, ... Nobody knows what happened, they can just take precautions in the future, like preventing dehydration,.

You say you acknowledge his value to the team. But earliar you said the "peculiar" nature of the IR move must mean that Wynn has little value to the team, he's camp fodder.

White man speak with forked tongue.

Here's another theory to chew on: Maybe Wynn was moved to IR because his injury is relatively serious.

Well now you just state the obvious. Very little can ever be known with absolute certainty. However, when the medical staff says they think they know the cause and should be able to prevent it in the future, that's about as clear as it will ever get.

Keep clinging to that thread Harlan, even though you are blowing in the wind!

I beleive that poor conditioning was a contributing cause. Call me crazy. Just because it was not a hot day, cramps occured on first series.

Nope. I acknowledged what TT and MM said for the press, not his value. I even stated that in spite of what they said, I doubted that Wynn would be on the roster next season

Maybe not hot in Alaska, but in Week 5, Green Bay it was hot. I was dehydrated and I was just in the stands.
