OL Rod Johnson Career Over

[Concrete Helmet]

2-3 losses in the spring and again in the fall are normal

Yeah but when you only have 5 or 6 to start with it hurts a lot more. If Johnson is done we are more f#cked than I would have ever thought possible.....He was the best, and pending what happens with Thurman, the only returning starter with real game experience. I know Sharpe played a little bit but I don't remember the circumstance.

Ox learned his injury reporting abilities from Muschamp

2-3 losses in the spring and again in the fall are normal. Less than half are season ending. It's what happens when 300 pounders hit each other at full speed.

For sure, but '13 was above and beyond expectations.
I don't ever expect any more or less than our fair share. But this year we can't afford them at two positions. When someone from one of those positions goes down, expect people to groan a little.

If football doesn't work out, "Rod Johnson" will fit right into the porn industry.

Really? This explains a lot!

Yep, but there will be a different set of injuries for the medical staff to analyse.

Heard somewhere that we may learn the seriousness of the injury and his future today. Wishing for the best and for him.

Well this injury update sucks.

Exactly. That's why you have 15 returning. Not 6. That's why you recruit 4-6 OL per year.

Good find.

He will be expected to play a huge role right away. Not to just contribute, but to come in and shore up an offensive line that has been beset by nothing but bad luck during the past three seasons.

I think he means to say nothing but pizz poor recruiting since 2009.

Maybe think about that before you start bashing one of them?
