Tank Williams is that you I meant to say that Colin isn't able to battle for us, due to his constant injuries. He is a very solid MLB, when healthy, but the guy seems to break a nail every game.
I'm not sure on his college career, but the high ankle sprain he suffered is in week 1 is the only significant injury as a pro. I think he had a hamstring for half a game last year, but nothing serious. He doesn't seem like an overly aggressive player, but he gets the job done.
A shoulder injury in 2008. I'm trying to figure out why you think he won't "battle" for us. You are a relying on injuries as your argument and from what I read the shoulder was a way more significant injury than the ankle. So we are are talking about 2 injuries 4 years a part. So I'm going to just reiterate my opinion on McCarthy in a little more detail. A solid MLB who has a nose for the ball and has an understanding for what the offense is doing.We are obviously going to have to agree to disagree, but you really have no argument for your statement. I think the injury prone label is premature for a second year pro with 1 injury in the nfl and 1 at the collegiate level.
Don't make a condescending statement like that. You obviously had no idea what you were talking about, held on to a false idea and used it to try and prove your point and I still respected your opinion. You easily could have said "yea I guess we agree to disagree". Just play nice man, we are on the same team. But on the real, I just read your post about Bud Adams....are you ****ing stupid?
Our defense showed up in a big way today. It was good to see them make some plays. Maybe there is still some hope that they can get it going.
He has actually been banged up more with us than in college. He has missed 7 of 26 games as a pro. He's probably been banged up in at least 10 more.
I know he missed 4 this year.(ankle injury) I remember he had a hamstring injury last year. I'm working off memory here but don't think he was a starter until midway through the season last year after Rudd went down. I don't think he missed games when he was named the starter. Was it before then?
