    Not be negative... but

    Does anyone other than me think the McGahee WILL NOT come back 100% from his destroyed knee?

    Call me a negative nancy, but I dont see McGahee being fully healed yet... and possibly never will be.

    If he truly were 100%, they would be touting this like crazy, and I am just not hearing anything.

    Unless something serious went wrong between last mini-camp and this then I see McGahee being fine. In the last mini-camp he was faster than Henry doing the drills and didn't hav eanything on his knees. You can check out the McGahee video at BB.com. It seems to me that neither Henry or McGahee got a lot of work in yesterday. Lets' not forget they still have 3 months until training camp.

      the realistic side of me says he will never be the same..

      but the optomistic side is stronger.. and it says he is going to rock ass on the field this year.

        Well, realistically, Jamal Lewis came back stronger. Why not McGahee?

          This was just a rookie camp.. Just these guys showing was the point.. and to look at the new guys.

            Hey..it's my job to negative!

            I think the fact that they haven't been touting WM is because they are trying to keep TH's spirits up. TH is going to be here this season so there's no need to start more of a controversy at this point.

            As for the knee wrap in the other post - it is entirely possible he may have tweaked it a little while lifting and just put a wrap on it for safety's sake. I used to do that when I played sports...sometimes you get a little hitch in the giddyap and a wrap helps it for a few days.

              Also, if you've got a guy you know is going to tear it up once he gets on the field... but no one else knows it yet... wouldn't you want it to be a surprise to other teams??

                What happened in the timespan from when this article was written?



                ”He seems very fluid, very quick,” the first-year Bills coach said. “He’s running swiftly and decisively. If I hadn’t known about the knee injury beforehand, I would never have picked up on it from watching him run. He looks healthy to me. He looks like he’s ready to go full speed. I’m anxious to see him go at it in helmet and pads.”

                    McGahee will be a rookie until he plays. He may be great or may stink th place up. We will just have to wait and see.

                      I'd settle for him being as explosive as he was before and maybe being an all purpose threat. I don't know about that whole rocking a** thing.

                        well, TH has put up some nice numbers the past two years and is still the starter; no real point in making the Henry/McGahee dynamic any more strained--they seem to have developed a competitive, but cooperative relationship and I'll bet the coaches don't want to tinker with it by touting McGahee. MM has said that he's excited about having two dangerous backs on the field, perhaps at the same time. that's probably all he'd say whatever McGahee's physical condition is

                        maybe he's not 100%, but I wouldn't reach that conclusion based on lack of a McGahee public relations effort

                          WM isn't a Rookie he was drafted last year and put on the roster.

                            It appears to me that from the Pictures I saw everyone could be jumping the gun on Mc Gahee look closely he had his right knee wrapped not the surgically repaired left knee and that could be for balance and strength issue for overcompensation in rehab

                              If you have never played one NFL game you are a rookie.
