TJ Graham always caught the deep ball at NC State. Seemed like he had one every game........scares me with the CB backups in there. I know he hasn't done much in the pros and Glennon does have a great arm even though he sometimes forgets who is on his team so maybe Fitz can't find Graham....

Wow......this sucks. Time for Jeremy Lane to step it up.

They should pay him for one game.

Agreed....disappointed, but that's the way it is. Believe in your team and it's players or don't. I choose to believe. Go Hawks!

Care to elaborate on the Maxwell comment?

I read a few studies that showed that stretching actually increased injury rates significantly (well beyond the margin of error in all studies done).

I was a coach and PE teacher for a while and eliminated the 20 minutes of stretching we were told to do, and just did what the studies suggested and did slower versions of the main movements to "warm up" instead. Repetitions of the primary actions basically (just as you see NFL players do during warm-ups out on the field and baseball players do in BP before the game).

I found a significant drop in injury and a significant improvement in performance. I tried it for 5 years myself after being an ardent stretcher and constantly injured athlete, and in that five year span didn't tear, stretch, or strain anything. The one thing that happened was a broken ankle from a direct karate kick by an opponent. Stretching wouldn't have changed that. But I also saw my own performance improve. I went from a fair to middling baseball/softball player, to one who moved up two ranks nationally to B level, which is where college baseball/minor league baseball level players are classified. So past my prime years without stretching I went from D to nationally ranked B. Just one small scale experiment, but it worked for me, and it worked for the teams I coached at all different age levels, and also for the classes I taught where we were having constant hamstring and calf and knee issues along with abdominal and back strains after the district's prescribed 20 minutes of stretching. It was pretty amazing.

Yeah lets trade Browner and let Thurmond take over his spot!!!

I dont know why, but I laughed out loud (a little).

I have a feeling they are just resting Thurmond up for the SF game. Risk Vs reward and all.

The Buffalo game is equally big.

Hopefully WT3 is ready to go for SF though.

It's from Yahoo fantasy sports. He is listed a probable(groin) but it said that he didn't practice on Friday(hip).

Incorrect. He was full go on Friday.

False info....

Be greatful that your minds don't do a subconscious association like mine does. Some times I see 'Thurmond'and get it mixed up with Earl Thomas. It really gives me a start when the thread is about an injury. I finally realized why...remember 'Thurman' Thomas of Buffalo fame？ Whew!
