Richard Sherman out for the season with a torn Achilles's tendon

[flyerhawk]

Brutal year for the Hawks for injuries.

Brutal year for the Hawks for injuries.

Brutal year for the NFL, but maybe the spike this year will wake somebody up. The injury rate has been on the rise for several years for many reasons - and the product on the field suffers for it.

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

If we went back to leather helmets, would there be less injuries?
What about a ban of PEDs, how many in the NFL are related to that?

LOL a ban on PED's???? Pretty sure they already have a policy for that

perhaps the rule changes are leading to more injuries. Perhaps head injuries are down but lower body injuries are up. The wear and tear from the low hits to the legs might be starting to catch up to the league.

1. Should/was this pre-exsisting achilles injury being reported? I don't know what the league requires?
2. Pete got busted for something similiar WRT Sherman last year.

Now Sherm, RW and Carroll all said in their respectiver post game pressers Sherm knew he was battling an injury.

Don't be surprised if the Seattle D plays better without him. Assuming ET and Kam come back/stay healthy. They'll likely go more zone now. Good thing Jeremy Lame failed that physical. I realize the Hawks lose a great talent but he wasn't 100% anyway. He'd been getting beat more. Also he's a distraction. I don't care how many kids you go see in the hospital or how many team mates say he's a great team mate. You can't call out your offense and coaches repeatedly and not be at least a little distraction.

Earl Thomas is a more important player in their defense than Sherman is.

I think estimates are that anywhere from 60-80% of the league juices

Good point, JMHO the Thursday night game don't help much. The players only get 4 days between games and that could very well contribute to the increase in injuries.

I'm thinking most non-12s thought the same thing.

Had this happened to NE we'd have 1000 threads about ConcussionGate.

Well he is their offense, you take him away and the playoffs are something the Shehawks will be watching on tv.

Oh no doubt. That offense goes the way RW goes. There is no ONE who scrambles and keeps alive like he does. That scrambling allows his receivers time to get open.

yea common knowledge, just like there are still PED's in MLB despite "banning" those too

 

[Jumpman98]

Huge loss for the Seahawks!

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

It's ok. Now Sherman can devote all his time and energy into second guessing EVERY coaching decision.

I'll take Sherman as our DC for the rest of the year... HAPPILY!!

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

Thanks, there's your link @Shaqdaddy11.

Now apologize for ever doubting you mad bro

How mad were you when Rodgers went down ? We're ya mad bro ?

That would be awesome. Then Angry Doug could scream at Sherm for making dumb decisions. The team wouldn't miss a beat.

Honestly I think Sherman would make good decisions... He was screaming at the DC Richards because he was playing terrible chess letting Atlanta right back in the game, Sherman play's to win, and he cares about winning where lot's of players just want a paycheck... I respect Sherman because of that... X and O's I think he understands very well...

THIS, why the heck was he on the field if he knew the achilles was gonna exploded???

Okay G.D. I get it, you don't like Richard Sherman. It's okay, everyone is entitled to their opinion on the SportsHoopla.[/QUO

How mad were you when Rodgers went down ? We're ya mad bro ?

Nope, it was what we needed to prove the team was carried by Rodgers and hopefully the gm, coaching staff will all be fired. Unfortunately that's what it takes sometimes.
