JS-""WYNN disputes IR Move""

[Harlan Huckleby]

Well we have 4 Darrell Thompsons on the roster now, plus a few others reciently (Gado, Fischer, Davenport, etc), so we should be due for a Levens pretty soon.

Davenport was a good player in Green Bay who was injured too much. Now he is a good player for Pittsburgh. I'd say Davenport has beat the odds and is having a fine career. One of current 4 mighty midgets could still make it. But they better get another strong candidate next year.

Moss and TO are cut from the same cloth. As long as they're winning and getting the ball, no problem. If that changes, watch out. They just happen to be on teams where it might not change to much.

I'd take either of them on the packers.

I'd take either of them on the packers.

what a shock. The moral relativist strikes again. Standards, what standards. Maybe you could get Denver to cut T Henry so the Pack could reel in that sterling character too.

I wrote about Moss in the pre-season and what I said then stands now:

If the guy is winning, he isn't a problem.

Not so sure about Owens though, he seemed to whine no matter what.

I dunno, Owens is just a bitch in the media. He worked out with Romo every day this off-season to make sure his spirits didn't get down after last years playoff loss. He also called him and talked to him daily.

Some in here noted they could have been frustrated with Wynn's lack of toughness and attitude and this may have been a message as well.

These are smug people who know nothing about Wynn's toughness, much less about his attitude. Wynn came in with a bad reputation from college, which gave those who enjoy this sort of thing an excuse to pounce.

Wynn did not miss playing time with injuries he could have played with. He made a good effort to play the last preseason game with no practice and earn a job. And if you look at the other running backs, they have been injured regularly also.

(Many, although not all, of the people dogging Wynn said that Randy Moss was sure to be a cancer this season. Different issue, familiar smugness.)

Given Wynn had gone through a series of conditions that kept him off the field, including illness, cramps, thigh and hand injuries, it's logical to think the Packers decided to shut him down and let him work on strengthening his body for next season.

I can believe he was not ready to play in the NFL, like Justin HArrell. The virus that kept him out last summer is NOTHING he can control, that was his primary "injury". The cramps - I think that was related to poor conditioning. The other minor injuries are just the usual minor setbacks all the backs have.

Well, you know nothing about Wynn's toughness and attitude either so those smug people could be brilliant for all you know

[Bretsky]

Nevertheless, Harlan, Wynn is in the same doghouse now as he was most of his time in college.

I suspect it's all about the money...which means it's all about Wynn. I don't think the word "Team" is in his vocabulary. Just my opinion.

Stop using all of that circumstantial past

[Bretsky]

Yup, I don't really know, so I shouldn't speculate. I'm just going on his history with the Gators. And his history there wasn't that of the consummate team player like, say, Ryan Grant's was at Notre Dame.

Well, Ryan Grant has a better chance of having a good attitude and being successful because of his college track record. (that's why he is a 6th round rather than 7th. )

I just believe in giving players a fresh start, and not assuming anything without evidence. Seems to have worked with Randy Moss

maybe it's his lack of a negative track record in college that makes Grant more appealing

Bretsky, I've always been partial to 'Davenpoop'

So, since we're talking about Wynn next year, what are his chances of making the club? Better than average if he comes back in great shape?

We're 7-1 now. Let's say we make it to 12-4. That means we'll probably be drafting in the low to mid-20's depending on how we did in the playoffs. So, what position do you see being addressed there in the first round and how does the RB crop look? Who would you target?

I'd be thinking CB or RB.

Wynn is probably not aware of the severity of a nerve injury to the neck and shoulder area.

Years ago, I tore the brachial plexus nerve in the back of my neck leading to my right shoulder. After hours of painful muscle spasms, I lost 90 % muscle control in my right arm. I did not have the strength to brush my teeth or shave (I am right-handed).

The neurologist who treated me said the torn nerve would heal at just a millimeter a day. It took about 5 months to get complete use of my right arm.

I don't know the full extent of Wynn's nerve injury. I just know it was a long recovery for me.

I think it's 50-50 for Wynn.

GB will probably draft a RB high again or maybe even sign one via free agency. Wait, what the H am I saying. We'll draft one high again.

Jackson and Grant are going to make the team; probably Vern Too and the FB.

Wynn will be fighting for his life for a roster spot IMO

He will struggle to be on next years roster
