Dislocated finger could end Maurkice Pouncey's season

glad to heer the ol cap and a great athlethe is not going to go on IR, but we will need to add better depth at C and at both ILB and OLB

Just looked it up, Velasco is a FA. If he's in reasonable shape, sign him!

Do any of you Velasco supporters wonder why that is?

Who the F ever said this was a season-ending injury to begin with?

The liberal media...

Make the backup center position great again!!

 

[obxsteeler]

If he does play maybe more than a few posters should forgive him the Hernandez support. He only shot off his mouth before knowing what the facts were which more than a few did here.

*shrugs* seemed like he did a halfway decent job as a backup last time he was here. He have some sort of nagging injury or something? Is he old?

One website speculates about it being season-ending . . .AND EVERYONE LOSES THERE FREAKING MINDS! The Joker approves of this thread.

Well, before Wallace was injured we had pretty good depth at C. Can't have your top 2 hurt and expect someone else starter-capable is just sitting around, unless you are lucky like we were with Velasco last time. I doubt he is the same Velasco or he'd be playing somewhere else.

Dude had surgery and is playing. A lot of people questioning his toughness owe him an apology.

Personally I never have questioned his toughness. But he is injury prone. Whether that is bad luck, or his body being prone to it or a combination of.

Shazier would be that finger I would point. Off the top of my head I can not think of another.


To hit on another point people's reaction to Pouncey might have been accelerated knowing a capable Wallace is out for the year. When your depth is compromised it can sure make you nervous in the result of a starter going down due to injury.

So a purely speculative "article" is grounds for cutting ties with Pouncey? I think I'll wait for confirmation before drawing that line.

But Coach loves speculation...
