Nwosu & Burns injury report - 08/25/24

[kidhawk]

I've long believed that the league should suspend players for dirty hits, equal to the time the injured player is out.

I used to think the same but the more I thought about it I realized teams would start cheating the system whenever they could.

Imagine if a guy like Aaron Donald injured a journeyman lineman just brought up from the practice squad? If it’s me I put that journeyman on IR and watch the Rams cry over losing their best player for the year.

Since it would be too easy to work the system like this it just wouldn’t work.

I do think that they should be more proactive in suspending repeat offenders for longer and longer periods of time though.

Pulling RG, late to his assignment because Nwosu got upfield quicker, so he dives at his lower legs. IMO, should be treated the same as targeting.

Injury last year was a peck, not a knee. So not a re-injury situation. Still didn't look good.

Thing is he was hit at the knee and then high by the RB so he had to take the knee hit and absorb the high hit, if he had that leg planted it would have been all over, hopefully it's just a sprain.

Yeah, I know. Too much at stake for teams not to take advantage. Should be more than just fines, though.

#77 is a POS

Total cheap shot, ZERO excuse for that crap.

 

[Glasgow Seahawk]

Trading for that lber makes me think he misses time

Any latest news on the injuries?

 

[kidhawk]

Just wondering, does anyone else wonder if it wasn’t on purpose with Nwosu? He had just been flagged for roughing the passer. Wouldn’t be a stretch to have player retaliation.

1. It wasn’t a rough hit by Nwosu.
2. It was tge backup qb. No one is losing money for a backup qb

Winston will probably start more than Watson. Watson has started only 6 games each year that he’s been with the Browns.

Roughing was definitely ticky tack but the very next play he’s chopped and injured. Whether the injury was on purpose I’d like to doubt but I am not so sure about the blocking. He’s the type of guy that draws double teams.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

It was by choice
It was on purpose

 

[Glasgow Seahawk]

Any indications yet of how severe?

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I thought I heard it might be MCL. No, I don't have a link, just a friend who is usually on top of these stories.

Oh number 77 you son of a bitch. Why did you do that?

 

[SoulfishHawk]

He did it on purpose, and I will never sway my opinion on it.

 

[SmokinHawk]

Just came across the wire that this is an MCL sprain. He'll miss some time but will be back.
