Ryan Shazier expects to play Sunday vs. the Patriots

[squidkid]

Do they? I would love to see you back that up.

pouncey...

You all who are defending Shazier, listen: I like the kid, everyone who is critical of him like him too. I think he can be great. But after three seasons, it is clear that these aren't "unfortunate" or part of the job injuries. Pouncey and Bell are examples of unfortunate circumstances... can't help those.

With Shazier, these are relatively minor injuries that turn into half the year. This current injury was being reported as a day-to-day injury, one that a guy like Lambert (since he was mentioned) or Harrison would definitely play in. I can say definite, because I've seen Harrison listed with a similarly "minor" injury on the injury report many times--and he's always out there. And this isn't the first time with Shazier. I can't remember the one previous, but it was the same sort of deal (I think last year was a shoulder? where it was just supposed to be a stinger. Turned into a month and half or something.) That is the issue.

For the record, Polamalu was a similar kind of guy. He would get injured and be useless for months. I suppose that is the way certain guys are built. But let's not try to obfuscate the issue here. Let's not pretend that Shazier is Pouncey or Bell, and he's certainly no Lambert when it comes to playing in paind.

OMG, please shut up about Lambert. If Lambert played today he would sit out as well.

We we don't get to decide what is a minor injury for a player in today's NFL.

That doesn't back up what you said, you said the players today think they can play part time and demand big money. I'm asking you to back up what your claiming the players mentality is today. Pointing to a player or a even a handful of players that have been injured and gotten contracts does not back up what you are saying.

Especially since the great Lambert was ultimately done in by a toe injury...I mean booboo.

Yes we do. Sports medicine is to a point that is pretty accurate. Hell, we got Twitter doctors who can effectively analyze injuries just by watching the TV. Acting like this is 1990 and pretending like no one out here knows what it's like to have injuries is ignorant on your part.

BTW, I doidnt bring up Lambert. ****, fill in the blank: HArrison, Lloyd, Porter, they all played hurt. Shazier has not.

[RuthlessBurgher]

Pushing for a guy to "play hurt" when the last time he came back prematurely from injury, he reaggrevated it and was out even longer.

Brilliant!

He's made of glass, trade him while his value is high.

What are you both, stupid? If you don't play hurt in the NFL, then you'll never play. Mike Mitchell had a knee injury last week on a hit in the endzone... it would have been easily reasonable for him to sit out the rest of that game. What did he do? Strap it up and play.

Well it's clear you just don't understand.

I saw Shazier in their late, but didn't see him make much splash after the 1st quarter. How'd he do near the end of the game.

He was good, nothing spectacular, played mostly in coverage.

obviously you dont
