A friendly jeff otah question.....

That's because he won't take his tampon out. He needs to man up and get on the field. This is football, you are gonna have to play with "boo boos" every now and then.

Look at Thomas Davis. He's going to come back from two ACL injuries before Otah comes back from one knee injury.

Yea, a very large man should hurry up and get back on the field with a bum knee to possibly end up being out for a year. Davis is 240lbs while Otah is 330lbs. You don't know jack.

That's going to be Otah's story the rest of his career. He's gonna stay injury proned and will never play a full season. Next year, need to draft replacement and trade Otah for a WR.

He may end up being injury prone, but rushing him out when it's not ready is only going to make it a bigger probability.

horrible logic.. thank god you're not the training staff..

it will take him however long it takes for him to get healthy.. primarily to prevent another injury..

if you don't understand that, you don't understand english..

and Davis is a bad example, he needs to sit out this year.. only reason he wouldn't is it's contract season.. none of which is best for his health... catch up

Is anyone thinking that Davis coming back from the first knee injury so quickly was a good thing? It was amazing to see him recover so quickly and return to practice, he looked so good and things were gonna be gre.... oh crap, he's down, he's clutching that knee, oh man he looks like he's in pain, someone get out there and help him, oh the humanity...

Give the big man time and give Davis all the time he needs, too. Knees are delicate and recovery for them can be rough.

Damn you must be a riot at parties.:eek:

[CLTPanther]

I believe Davis already admitted he was too agressive trying to come back last time. Either that or he was practicing without a brace on his knee and it was his decision. Either way, bad call.

[Carolina Husker]

I think it's becoming more well known that Otah spent most of the offseason partying and not rehabbing the knee and decided training camp was the time he'd get it fixed surgically.

[CLTPanther]

Yea, I don't remember if they explained why it was done so late. So I assume he either injured it over the spring/summer or was a idiot and waited too long to get surgery.

[Hairless Cat]

why move if you dont have to?

[SpeedOFLight]

We miss him but I say take your time. I rather have him back healthy then him coming back for a game or two and then we lose him to a longer time period. I have had a knew injury. I tored my patellar tendon and that rehab was rough (ok, I know he has more money than me but still healing is healing). It took me a long time to recover and that was 2 years ago. Now I guess it is more of a mental act with me, fearing I am going to hurt it again. Well anyway, don't ruse the fellow out there. As long as he is still working that knee, he will be fine.

[thunderraiden]

Wasn't this the main problem with Otah coming out of college? That they questioned his passion for the game?

[Miaoww]

Steve Reed has an article this week where Otah said he "Wasn't close" and "would let the coaches know when he was ready"

Meanwhile the accountants let Otah know his paycheck "wasn't close" and "they'll let him know when it's ready."
