I doubt it. A bunch of guys went down last year too. And I know Kyle and Aaron's injuries were not ground surface related.
I haven't been able to see any highlights or the game, but it looks like Screams Jones had a good first outing. I'll be interested in seeing how he does as preseason continues. I would guess he will probably play the entire 4th preseason game.
It was good to see Jones come out and do well. Same goes with Gragg and Powell. And if he can stay healthy I think Bush will really be able to contribute.
Only position I'm concerned about it WR and LB. Already thin at LB and who's gonna step up at WR2? Sammy can't do it all. God help us if Sammy gets hurt.
Anybody know anything more about the A. Williams training camp injury?
Auto correct corrected Cardale to Screams for some reason. Odd.
I am really, really hoping Goodwin can stay healthy for a large chunk of the season. I think he has a good chance to be an impact player in our offense if he can. I also think they have big plans for Bush in the passing game.
Dez Lewis supposedly looked good in OTAs but now that the pads are on he has regressed some.
We have talent there at the receiving positions it's just a question if guys will be healthy.
So Dareus is facing a possible 4 game suspension for violating the NFLs illegal substance policy?
I'm sorry but this is borderline unacceptable IMO. This guy is supposed to be the leader of our defense. The face of ohr franchise right along with Taylor. Not happy about this at all. Contracts should be designed to have very big consequences when things like this happen. Like taking back or donating 10-15 million dollars of a 100 million dollar contract.

Now Lawson is facing a one game suspension. WTF are these guys think??!?!? Rex needs to get his guys under control or the FO needs to bring in someone that can. This is absolutely ridiculous. Williams, Dareus, and now Lawson, plus all the injuries. At this rate they aren't going to have any starters come week 1
This is definitely on the coaches. Its the atmosphere they create. Our defense is in free-fall and thats what was supposed to improve. I am less optimistic by the day. As for Pittsburgh and Cincy at least they have some playoff wins. Pittsburgh has 6 Superbowls too. I know you are a perpetual optimist Bill but this is getting ridiculous. Suspensions are all part of the team culture and our is sadly lacking. We are regressing and now we are hoping the offense carries us, that is pretty sad.

You don't see the flaw or hypocrisy in blaming one coach for players who get suspended but not another coach when his players get suspended? What, is their a right and wrong way to coach these knuckle head players that get in trouble on their OWN TIME?
You want to blame Rex for blowing challenges and replays. Okay. Blame him for a poor overall defense. Okay. But what a player does on his OWN TIME is also the coaches fault? So is it Belichecks fault that Hernadez murdered that guy? But since he is a super bowl winning coach it is okay?
Some of the blind hypocrisy is astounding.
Pittsburgh has made it to the playoffs year after year and have won Super Bowls because they have an all time great QB. It has nothing to do with Tomlin being a better coach and handling idiot players better.
Fair enough. But I think I am a realist. I am not sugar coating the loss of Dareus for four games. This is bad news. And even worse, no Dareus OR Lawson for the first game. The offense is going to have to be on it's game.
And if I am a perpetual optimist, you should at least admit that you are this thread's perpetual pessimistic poster.
I'm not putting 100% of the blame on Rex, I like Rex. Obviously he can't be with every player at all times and tell them what to do and not to do on their own time. But these guys are out here doing dumb stuff while they should be thinking to themselves, "If I do this Ill be letting down Rex and the team" but I don't think Rex has fully installed that train of thought into his players minds. While other coaches in the league have. He needs to get them under control and make them realize there will be consequences.
