Shaq

[slumdogmillionaire]

Shaq has had a great year and earning that paycheck. He wasn’t right when he came back in the game.    If we lose him for 2-3 games (let’s say with plantar fasciitis) who’s the next man up? Does Chinn move to LB…we are already down Horn in the secondary.  We are playing four 1-3 teams next but if Shaq is missing do those games get dicey?

Have they even provided an update on Shaq and Reddick?  I know both came back, but I didn't even hear Rhule asked about them in the presser...  regardless, just watching during the game, without ever getting a report on it, I assumed Shaq's injury was a shoulder or arm thing and if not, at least upper body/torso.  It looked like when he dove to tackle he immediately felt pain and rolled over with his arms tucked in.  He never appeared to look at or favor anything but his upper body, and the way he was holding his arms, I assumed it was a stinger.

Was hoping to get an update on those guys today in the presser.

If true this is good news, I initially thought it was his knee as he landed on it pretty hard, but did not see any kind of limp.

This defense without shaq, Horn, or Reddick would not be good at all.

Yeah our depth isn’t good yet…

Welp, you were right and my assumptions were wrong...  it was Shaq's foot, and apparently we are pretty banged up after yesterday.

How could John Miller be banged up?  He didn't block 75% of the time, I guess the turf monster grabbed him.

Reddick had a stinger, said he should be good to go for Philly.

Shaq could potentially miss time with a foot injury. 

I am also fully aware he came back into the game yesterday, btw.

I was worried that depth on the defense would bite them on the ass before seasons end.  They may not make it that far at this pace.

After they got back in town he was at my restaurant and said plantar fasciitis and he’s out 2-3 weeks.     @Mr. Scot

Unrelated to the injury

But holy crap I didn't realize how jacked Shaq Thompson was until yesterday.  Dude is swole.

While we are on the topic of Shaq--many of those big runs were on Carter.   He has gone Whitehead on us.

How are any of the O-line getting hurt when all they do is watch the opposing guys run past them?
