Yep at home sitting on the couch and hitting the gym...the track record speaks for itself. He is not built for the game of footballHawkGA":39hxapjs said:You guys are being too hard on him. He was healthy all off-season.
I don't see how hyperbole and player insults add anything of value to the conversation. Draft blunder? Pick 90 not working out isn't a blunder it's probability. Late third round picks have a better than average probability of making a roster and a less than average probability of becoming a five year starter. Anything in between is within the range of expected outcomes. You don't know the guy and you act like he has personally offended you.xray":1uavpss2 said:I want Pete Carroll to tell us why Prosise is even still here. Prosise should go down as one of the all time draft blunders for the Hawks. He is a straight-up xxxxx; who is as fragile as a cheap teacup. My granddaughter could xxxx xxx xxx. Lose that XXX!!
Moderator edit: When I see PG13, I think of small impressionable children on line watching every word and behavior.

That could mean that his abdominal area is no longer the limiting factor and now he actually CAN run, but it's been so long since he really RAN that his sprinter muscles are not balanced up properly yet.
Grasping at straws, perhaps. Some people's bodies just can't hold up to the demands of the game. There are people whose muscles are stronger than their connective tissues, and vice-versa. One leads to injured connective tissues, the other leads to injured muscles.
It seems from the injury reports that Prosise has a couple related injuries that keep getting reinjured or else the next link in the biomechanical chain gets injured.
I still think there are some things the 'Hawks are keeping mum about relative to his ongoing injuries.
His "Fractured Shoulder Scapula" injury has always seemed mysterious to me. That one takes a helluva lot of force to cause, like an auto accident. Anyone ever seen the play that is purported to have caused it, or was it a practice injury?
Interesting that the fractured scapula closely followed a broken hand injury, (within a couple months) which almost suggests that the scapula was a football injury, it may have been related to CJ trying to protect his hand during contact and getting into an awkward position leading to the scapula injury.
I just don't see any point in dogging the guy, as a human being and elite athlete who is no doubt doing his best to work through all these injuries.
With 6 weeks to recover from a pulled hammie, he should still have a shot to make the team. Damn it's hard to keep a glass-half-full mindset on this guy and his injuries though.

it was a crushing hit. if memory serves, it was in a game where, earlier in the game he had a 70+ yard TD play. but on that injury play, it looked like his shoulder was seriously impacted. ymmv

My memory says it wasn't a "crushing hit" at all.

"His reply was classic Coach Alvarez: 'Call me,'" McIntosh said. "And I've known Barry for 20 years now so when you hear that you call him."
That call resulted in McIntosh moving his family back to Dane County to take a job as director of business development at UW in December 2014. Among his responsibilities: enhance the athletic department's relationship with its business partners and find new partners.
MADISON – Chris McIntosh’s rapid rise up the ranks of the University of Wisconsin athletic department continues. UW officials announced Wednesday that McIntosh, a Pewaukee native who was an All-American offensive tackle under Barry Alvarez, has been promoted to deputy athletic director
