I mean call it what you will but anyone who has played a sport, even at the HS level, can understand that a competitor would rather be playing than sitting out.

Everybody I knew who was a decent athlete growing up, myself included, would play thru pain and injuries as much as humanly possible.  None of those guys are ever 100% healthy and without pain.  It sucks but thats how it is.  I guess it goes back to the whole "are you hurt, or are you injured."

If he tears that hamstring the season is over for him. It’s not exactly an injury that is static. A hamstring injury can and will get worse if it’s not nursed properly.

Just look at Darren Waller, a hamstring injury nearly destroyed his career and he’s still having issues, albeit it has more to do with a nerve rather than the actual muscle.

We aren’t talking about a broken finger here.

Have a feeling he and Bryce are gonna go off tonight to the tune of 130+ yards and over 20 yards per reception

Lets go!  Tired of all the damn doom and gloom around here after 1 fuging week of football.  We absolutely can win this game tonight.  The Saints are not some unbeatable juggernaut.  I think itll be a good, close fought game and we win.

Can you guys just take a breath and not turn at least 1 thread into something negative?  This is just getting to be too much.  It is hard to wrap my head around how people who are "fans" of a team hate it so much after 1 frigging game.

Will Chark finish this game healthy?  I do not  know, but then I do not know that about any player.  I am just happy that he will be on the field...it is something positive and hopeful. I will be in that space today.  Some of you should try it....just start with a few minutes.

Preach.  Glass is permanently half empty here. 

My counter - Chark gets loose on at least one pass that goes for 40+

My best friend growing up was also a football teammate up through middle school.

As I recall, he'd had arthroscopic surgery on both knees by the time he was in the eighth grade.

He didn't play high school ball because he just couldn't anymore.

Give it to 'em LP.  I agree 100%.  WE have a building team for the long run.

There is no "long term" with DJ Chark. You play him full throttle on the off chance he's actually healthy, because those times are few and far between.

I meant long term for the season, not years down the road. I’d rather he miss the first two or three games and then be good for the rest of the year than miss the first and then go on season ending IR after game five or something.

I appreciate your posts. This will help people even if they don’t speak up. Thank you.

I mean yeah.  Sports are hell on your body.  I was a pitcher from middle school all the way thru D-1 in college and ended up with a torn labrum, tommy john surgery and a spinal fusion lol.

Yep. Did my fair share of damage to myself over the years.

I know a while back we had a thread where we talked about old sports injuries. Seems like a load of us were walking wounded 😆

      If you need some ‘chills’ to start your Friday….

      By coffee · Posted

      In January 2014, I posted this on another forum.  Seems like it fits again:   Do you remember cheering for the rain? Trying to sleep after “The no-call”? Do you know who needs to "Ice up, son"?   Remember pleading for .500? Thinking there’s no catching the Saints? Punting to Buffalo and knowing how it was going to end?   Do you remember how you felt about Kalil’s ad? Or the fan’s follow up? Gruden’s interview with Cam?   Do you remember Clausen being the steal of the draft? Will you ever forgive Mel Kiper?   Did you cry as Jake said his goodbyes? Do you remember the game that cost Gruden his job?   As fans chant “Luuuuuuke,” do you still hear “Moooose”? … “Hoooove”?   Do you recall changing the diaper? Paddling the boat? Being happy just hearing the name Smoot?   Do you recall the day when it hurt to say “Keep pounding,” and you felt you’d lost a close friend?   Did you hunt the net for Bojangle’s commercials? Have you seen a Cajun’s bare butt?   Do you remember the sunken feeling when Smitty was caught from behind and didn’t get up?   Sports Illustrated’s prediction?   Were you angry at Janet for stealing the spotlight? Does “X-Clown” still give you chills? Do you sing the wrong words to “Day-O”? Whenever you hear “He Hate Me,” do you also hear Rosinski finishing the sentence?   Did you like Seifert a little less when he let Walls’ streak of games-with-a-reception end? But nothing compared to letting Steve go, right? Do you remember that invincible feeling you had when we won the first game of 2001? Do you recall who our division rivals were?   Do you remember thinking “Just wait ‘til Bazooka’s healthy”? How about that weird grin you got watching Kevin Greene fire up the D? Or being undefeated at Ericsson?   If your answer is “no,” we happily welcome you as a new fan of our beloved team. Trust me, we’ll be happy to explain all of these and more to catch you up. For the rest of you, it’s been entirely too long since we were alive after week 17. But every question that you answered “yes” to makes this all the sweeter. Welcome to the playoffs.
