Fowler unsure of Beason for Week 1

[Mr. Scot]

Based on Jon Beason's latest blog entry, Scott Fowler believes he'll likely be out week one, maybe longer.

Having read the blog, outside of the last bit, I'm not sure I agree without some major "reading between the lines". It's certainly possible. I just don't know that I take what Beason says as a clear indicator of that.

But check for yourself. Links to both right here:

Beason's Blog

Fowler's Take

"I’m feeling a lot better by the day, I’m encouraged by how I feel right now. For me it’s all about getting back on the field. The crazy part is, even though Week 1 isn’t the Super Bowl, or the playoffs, of a game for the division title, I want to play, and I’d be willing to suck it up."

[Sam Mills Fan]

He'll play. I don't disagree that his blog sounds that way, but I have a feeling he'll be itching to go and he'll go. It won't be the preseason anymore, it'll be the real deal.

not saying connor is good as beason but i think he can be very solid..that plus a big DT on the line will make who ever is back there job a lot easier.

[joemac]

The first game is weeks away...he doesnt have anything torn in his knee. I dont know how anyone can say what his status is going to be this far out. Im sure that he probably heals pretty quickly, and personally I think that he'll be out there.

I hope we and the Eagles won't know for sure until that Sunday morning.

Fowler probably doesn't know what position Beason plays.

And he writes: "I hate being injured just because at the end of the day I think being a good player means being durable. There have been a lot of potentially great athletes who can’t stay healthy, and if you can’t stay healthy no one cares how good you are. It kind of sucks when freak things happen but injuries are a part of the game if you play long enough."

I wonder if Beason is talking about Dan Morgan when he says this?

I agree with Beason's opinion on durability being part of greatness. That being said, since he is aiming for the Filthy-delphia game, maybe he is talking about Westbrook?

No, Morgan was not the only injury-plagued athlete with tremendous talent.

It just goes to show how bad we need that body up front in the middle, I saw in both games Beason get attacked by blockers and this time he got hurt from it.

"I’m feeling a lot better by the day, I’m encouraged by how I feel right now. For me it’s all about getting back on the field. The crazy part is, even though Week 1 isn’t the Super Bowl, or the playoffs, of a game for the division title, I want to play, and I’d be willing to suck it up."

The final sentence (immediately after) is what I think Fowler is looking at:

But this is a long season, and I have to make sure I’m healthy for the long haul.

[Peppers90 NC]

Yea Beason is saying he wants to be out there, will try his best to be ready by then, but will not jeopardize the season just to be in one or two games early on.

I hope we and the Eagles won't know for sure until that Sunday morning.

Im betting J Fox will grant your wish.
