Re: It's Moats time again

Sal retweeted something about Gailey saying he doesnt know if Merrimans injury poses long term concern.

Re: It's Moats time again

i think its his hamstring, thats what murphy said...

[CAbills]

Re: It's Moats time again

Its achilles, same old problem.

[NOT THE DUDE...]

Re: It's Moats time again

yeah, its the dreaded achilles.... well moats has been getting better pressure anyways. i just feel like merriman will never be the same. olb is our number 1 need next year.

Re: It's Moats time again

His achilles got strained from getting held so much.

Re: It's Moats time again

He doesn't need his achilles to make phone calls when he recruits players anyways.

Re: It's Moats time again

I have seen reports of hammy and achilles so I am not sure what the exact injury is.

At this point I wouldn't mind him sitting out and getting a 2 week rest. Moats and Batten should be able to fill in fine.

Re: It's Moats time again

Merriman did say that he won't be going on IR and doesn't seem to concerned. So who knows I guess give him the week off.

No Kelsay, Merriman, and a hobbled Kyle Williams who may or may not play should be interesting week for the defense.

Will be nice to get McGee back and that bye week can't come fast enough.

Re: It's Moats time again

I believe Troup is back this week. Moats and Batten get significant playing time.

Both teams have some injuries so it should balance out.

merriman said he was fine long term, as in after the bye?

[CAbills]

Re: It's Moats time again

Said he didn't think it was long term. And injury may have come at best time really with the bye coming up. Again he is not a doctor so who knows.

Re: It's Moats time again

At least we got McGee and Troup back. I expect to see alot of guys back after the bye.

Re: It's Moats time again

Could you imagine if Moats and Sheppard develop into solid linebackers for us? They're so young that we could potentially solidify the D for years.

Need some other players but it would be nice to see the grow into starting roles.
