Colts GM Claim Luck Rib 'Injury Report Inaccurate' Per ESPN

Yes, Huddler's the saga of the Indianapolis Colts, Andrew Luck and Rib-Gate continues before tonight's game.

Colts GM, Grigson say it's untrue. According to ESPN's Kevin Seifert:

Quote

Ryan Grigson said Sunday that "our injury reports are accurate" a few hours after a media report that quarterback Andrew Luck fractured multiple ribs earlier this season.

"If people have any questions about player injuries," Grigson continued in a statement, "they should refer to our injury reports."

This is too funny when you think about it guys.

Quote

ESPN's Adam Schefter had previously reported the Rib Injury had largely healed.

Chuck Pagano, say's Luck's healthy.

And Luck himself says, he was advised not to talk to the media, but adds "I have no restrictions or limitations," he said.

Those three by notes by Schefter, Pagano and Luck are mentioned in the article, so I quoted/highlighted them here. Ironically, they all contradict the Glazer/Fox Report which has been bandied about so much.

Hmmmh. So it seems the Colts either said: "Oh shoot! If we say this, now the NFL can come after us for hiding injuries"!?

Or "Oh shoot. We lied. Knew Luck wasn't injured (or healed), and the NFL can still come after us for hiding injuries"!? "Oh No. We stupid"!

Lastly: Maybe it's truly old news as Schefter mentioned, and Ole Boy Glazer's  trying to be a Luck defender/opportunist!?? I dunno.

Wonder if the rest of the media will mention this before tonight's game???? Or only the "injured ribs" portion (no pun) is worthy of much media speculation and reporting? You know. Reinforcing the notion (by some) that Luck couldn't possibly play this bad if healthy??

You can't make this up. Panther fans be glad you got Gettleman for a GM. SMH

I mean, why lie? 

 

I guess maybe if you were playing a team like, say, New Orleans... you may not want them to know your QB has injured ribs lest they... you know... TARGET him or something...

 

Oh wait... you mean they played the Saints last week?  Hmmm... what a coincidence...

To keep other teams from targeting an injured area.

I understand the rationale, but it was still a dumb decision.  Given that I think Grigson is an idiot though, can't say I'm surprised.

You wanna protect your quarterback? How about getting him a competent offensive line instead of piling on more receivers?

I definitely don't think it was a dumb decision. The fine is basically meaningless and anything you can do to protect your QB from taking an extra shot in some broken ribs is worth it.

Luck has hot garbage for an offensive line

wasn't hot garbage when old man Hasselback was playing this year.  I mean insert a QB behind our OL that holds the ball as long as Cam has to......that isn't built like a DE w/ moves like Jagger?  QB gonna be abused.  Who and how you play QB has a lot to do w/ how a OL is perceived.

      Yeah, honestly being a long-term backup is at least as much about being a good lockerroom presence and accepting your role as a supporting piece and not being a greasy wheel as much as it does about ability. Backup QB requires a completely different mindset than the starter and some guys just can't make that switch. It doesn't make them bad guys or locker room cancers or anything like that, it just makes them not what you're looking for in a long-term backup. You bring in that type of guy to compete. You don't bring in that type of guy if you're not looking for competition.

      We have some good pieces.  Enough to be competitive week to week.  Coaching seems to be improving but they’ve made it much harder on themselves than needed.  There are very good reasons to be optimistic about the future. However, I don’t trust them yet.  Wins are odd looking and mostly ugly.  Our opponents have to have a bad day for us to hang with them.  A lot of that is because we still haven’t figured out the most important position and will continue until it’s solved. I think Morgan has done a nice job in both the draft and FA so far.  He’s getting better each day he’s in that position. As far as the players listed, I’m pretty much in agreement.  XL and Bryce are not performing the way they should at this point.  I will say XL could see more success in a vertical passing attack to better utilize his speed. And as always, Fug Tepper.
