No more free pass for Ally Villaneuava

[Coolie Man]

I know he’s a ranger and all but he’s pulling his best Lamar woodley. Fat cat’n, got paid.

Lol coolie chill bro

I was at the game. It was hot, and I was only sitting there. When Villanueva was able to come back into the game, Hubbard then replaced Gilbert, who was also dealing with some heat-related issues. Is he fat-cattin' it as well?

It was wicked hot at the stadium today.

Sadly, as America gets fatter and fatter, we are going to see a LOT more malingering like this.

It's being reported AV was ill and dehydrated. Decided he would make a go of it for the team anyway. It was a tall task even if fully healthy, but pretty confident he will put together better performances as the season moves along.

Stupid post.

AV is possibly one of the toughest most badassed individuals on the planet. If he could not go, I am willing to believe he could not go. Later when he could he did. End of story.

Stupid post.

Par for the course with Coolie Man.

He did get burnt by Everson Griffen twice.. one leading to a sack. Hope its just heat exhaustion.

Pretty much silly for anyone to say Villanueva ever would dog it. Yup, like you said ... end of story.

What happened to Gilbert?

What happened to Gilbert?

Same thing, I believe. Heat-related issues. Hubbard moved over from LT to RT once AV was able to re-enter the game.

While I'm not ready to bash AV he sure hasn't lived up to his end of the bargain yet this year.

His first two games certainly have not been his best, but he had a really tough matchup against the Vikings. If, as reported, he was also ill and dehydrated leading up to the game, I'm sure that contributed to it. I haven't seen anything to indicate a lack of effort.
