  1. I'm curious to see how their OL does.  It used to be a really good unit, but they did lose Levitre.  I also don't think it's any secret that their best player is Spiller and they need to put the ball in his hands as much as possible.  Their defense should be improved too, with the addition of the underrated Mike Pettine as DC

    Yes I read their going to run Spiller til he pukes or taps out.

  2. Bummer it didn't work out.  I feel like he could have been a really solid player.  I guess his knees just couldn't take it

    Hey superman this is Bahhummbug had to start this 1 as Bahhummbug5 anyway a mod can help me out my old email was hijacked I cannot log back on as Bahhummbug :(

  3. I've read from quite a few outlets that he is still having trouble catching the ball. I don't want our #2 WR to have drop issues. He's going to be relied upon a lot in the offense and what if it's 3rd and 15 in the 4th quarter and Luck throws a perfect pass. You need someone who can consistently catch a catchable ball 95 out of 100 times. Like Reggie! 

     

    DHB needs to adapt a different technique imo. He tends to let the ball come to him whereas I think he should go snag the ball more. Like that of Fitz, Calvin, Wayne, Roddy, etc.. I mean most receiver do that but those 4 are kind of known for that. 

    He wont be #2 if he doesnt shape up no biggy.Hilton will be 2 and 2 te sets,so why worry?

  4. @1070Bruno: Pagano said G Hugh Thornton has sprained ankle carried over from rookie minicamp, not expected to miss much more time.

     

    McGlynn is horrible. Only reason he's even on the roster is because of his association with Grigson from their days with the Eagles

    Reitz was the better guard last year tho injured

    The only reason is that he can sub at center,we all know coaches like to have players who can play different positions.I have heard Grigs and Pags talk about Mike in this capacity.

  5. I used to get a little riled up about this, but seeing the injuries to Austin Collie and Peyton Manning that 'could have/might have' ended their careers changed my stance.

     

    I am willing to argue that with the current CBA....especially in season practices....that Peyton Manning worked harder than anyone on the entire team to get his heath back for a 'possible' return.  Rehabilitation of a knee, neck or head injury is not fun, and is an incredibly painful endeavor mentally and physically.  Will I ever play again?  Been there with head injury patients...my dad for one...just awful.

     

    I cannot think of one player who goes out there and says "I want to be injured so I can sit and make money."  OK...there may be a select few who do with nick nack injuries.... :)

    I so agree they should get fully paid.I suffer back and neck problems same as Peyton.Let me tell you the pain is so unbearable at times that the mental part starts to work on you.Even with the best medical and implants I stay in pain 24 /7 from neck and back injuries.Do you think these players retiring at early ages because of concussions should not get paid?Then shoot themselves?You have to have superman mentality to overcome these injuries.Knowing when u sleep when you can and wake up,you will be in pain everyday for the rest of your life.Sure you can take the edge off the pain some but never fully.The best the doctors can do for you is give you a little better quality of life.

  6. Well, we have the most important position set for the next 15 years or so.  One thing I'm a little iffy on is the many free agents we have signed.  Personally, I think championship teams are built mostly through the draft, then complemented with pieces through free agency.  However, Grigs was very aggressive in free agency (perhaps because we had lots of cap space and we have to spent like 98% of it or something like that) and we signed a lot of guys.  I can't help but feel as though signing a lot of free agents will ruin team chemistry.  We have seen it happen with the Eagles (Grigs' former team), Raiders, Redskins, etc.

    I think Grigs signed them all now to save the cap % we have to spend to resign Luck in a couple years.

  7.  

      A neurostimulator  actually blocks pain signals by  interrupting the pain   signals before they reach the brain. 

     They hopefully send mild electrical impulses to the spine to replace pain with a tingling sensation.

    The tingling you describe is caused by parathesia it also causes me more paralysis but with less pain.It was the stimulalator implant or narcotics the rest of my life.
