Why Cris Carter needs to be muzzled...

Former Vikings All-Pro receiver Cris Carter is calling out Sidney Rice for avoiding Larry Fitzgerald's summer camp this week.

"I don't know what it's like to have one good year and then disappear," said Carter. "That's on him. ... If I had that kind of impact on him he should have been here today." The grueling workouts at Fitz's camp have been credited as a major influence on Rice's breakout season in 2010. He's running out of time to report to this year's camp.

Agent Drew Rosenhaus revealed Thursday that Sidney Rice is still dealing with a lingering hip injury sustained during the playoffs in January.

Rosenhaus put the information on his Twitter account after rumors surfaced that Rice had undergone surgery for a groin injury. Rice doesn't believe the hip will require surgery, and he hopes to be fully healthy for the start of the season. While this does explain Rice's absence from Larry Fitzgerald's summer camp, it's disconcerting that the injury has lingered for six months. Rice's health is now one of the most important fantasy stories to track in training camp.

He was a great player, but just needs to shut the hell up now.

    • I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.
    • I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.  
    • I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
