Percy factor

[akscoundrel]

As a life long gator fan, and percy being my ball time fav gator, I do want to say that his migraines are legit. Its not an attitude problem, its a migraine problem. Just a heads up, dont be surprised if he misses 1-2 games out of a season because of them.

Don't have a link to post right now, but it's widely reported that Percy's migraines were a result of sleep apnea... and he's not had any since he got a CPAP machine.

Non-issue.

That would be awesome. I'm just used to him missing a game or two every season due to 'em. Considering the value he adds to a team, and the baller that he is, I was and am perfectly fine with him missing a game or two because of them.

I just wanted to throw that out there in case he does get them again, and people only 'know' of the misconception that his migraines were an attitude problem.

I was excited to get Harvin, but I now live in Wisconsin and the Vikings wanted to get rid of him. I was thrilled when I heard about the trade, but was surprised to hear what we gave up for him. He was a problem for the Vikes, but hopefully, that is a thing in the past. As long as he can stay healthy, he's what we needed.

I was noticing that Percy's true impact, and the one not mentioned by the pundits, was that everyone else had single and often were given weak coverage because so much attention was focused on Percy..

he opens up everything.

And he vaults our special teams into elite status a tangible factor that must be gameplanned for.

Yup, took over #1 in special teams by DVOA this week, and that's despite having two field goal attempts returned for TDs this year (although I think they only count as one fumble and one blocked kick according to Football Outsiders, because the TD returns themselves are too chancy).

Percy made 3 impactful plays - obviously the catch, and the return. But he also drew the pass interference on a deep ball that would have been awesome if not for a holding call on Okung.

Aw yes, you're right. Point being, that once he really gets up to speed (tonight was just a scooby snack) this is going to get fun.

He drew coverage away from the other recievers and the running game and probably even the pass-rush and opened up our whole offense and we reamed the opponent. If this is a scooby snack well then GIVE ME SCOOBY SNACK.

Has anyone heard anymore on how the hip is feeling these days after live action? Any reports of soreness or concern? No news is good news, so I'm hoping for none, but feel compelled to ask anyway.

All I heard from Pete's presser is the typical soreness you get after your first preseason or regular game from getting those first hits out the way. Basically he's 100% full go for NOLA.
