Armstead Update: "A Different Situation"

[TKO]

Bill Belichick said Sunday morning the issue that’s sidelined defensive lineman Armond Armstead through the first three days of camp is not related to any issues the USC product has had in the past. Armstead suffered a heart attack as a collegian, and ended up playing last year in the CFL, where he finished with 44 tackles and six sacks to help Toronto to a Grey Cup championship. He was placed on the non-football illness list at the start of camp earlier this month, and hasn’t been seen at practice.
“No, I think it’s a different situation,” Belichick said when asked about Armstead’s current malady. “If we have anything, we’ll talk about it. But not at this time.”

Armstead: Surgery For An Infection

Well I guess that qualifies as a different situation like BB said in his PC. Maybe he has that flesh eating bacteria or some form of MRSA. Hopefully he'll be back soon.

That is a big different situation. hope its not staph.. i remember when the browns were losing people left and right to that a few years ago. yes another thing to mar the offseason..

Brady had an infected knee...Gronk had an infected arm...Armstead needed surgery for an infection. My brother had brain cancer and died from MRSA after surgery. Over-prescribing antibiotics might kill off the human race.

It won't, but we'll be back to the pre-penecillin days where every major injury is life threatening. This is what happens when you start teaching kids that 'evolution is just a theory' (or worse)... but I think I ranted enough on this topic over at CBS.

i almost replied to this.. but to me its splitting hairs.. f it.. ill give my opinion and then i ll drop it..

to me there is a difference between adaptation .. and evolution..

spieces can adapt to thier surrounding grow better or weaker .. but frogs are frogs.. monkeys are monkeys.. humans are humans.. we didnt come from one or the other

but hey thats my opinion..

 

[JDM]

Even if that is the case (I don't believe it is), Religion has so solidly pitted itself against evolution that even admitting that things adapt gets painted with the same brush.

Absurd when you consider the fact that there's no reason one has to contradict the other.

 

[Jackbrit2]

I have never seen anyone talk so much an say so little as BB. Starting this year I refuse to watch the press conferences after the game when he is talking. The other problem is now he has the players speaking the same way so you never really get to know anything about what is going on.

Bill is the best interview in the NFL. He says exactly what he means, you just have to listen.

Specifics of injuries at this point do nothing for anyone.

What strikes me beyond the argument concerning adaptation is the sheer nonsense about man being here for hundreds of thousands of years when the archaeological record shows the oldest known city to be less than six thousand years old. Did man only figure out how to put a stone upon a stone or a brick on a brick in the last six thousand years? Ludicrous. The obvious answer is humans weren't here prior to that.

Considering that the base of the theory is that our intelligence significantly improved over time, why is that far fetched? It takes a significant amount of intelligence to decide on and plan a long term living situation like a city.

the only surgery for infection out of the blue i can think of is for your appendix

If you get an infection from a burst appendix you might not survive it.

im of the opinion tha life is strictly biological process and the is no intelligence involved. overtime species have evolved through mutations in the dna. the dna is nothing but a blueprint and once you set fire to it it runs to completion like a set of spiraling dominoes. there is no thought process involved. what make me think this is those two headed animals the dna got screwed up and the process ran creating two heads automatically. you would think if there was intelligence involved the process would fix the mistake. but no the chemicals just read the dna and builds what is there.

yea if they burst you in trouble. they usually take them out once you feel pain down there before they burst. im hoping that all it is with armstead we cant afford to not have him play this season, although kelly will get alot of reps and help. i was expecting armstead to be a stud and really help the interior line this year.
