Oregon’s offense is not an NFL offense, so it is much more simplistic. They win by spreading teams out, which takes advantage of their superior speed. That doesn’t work in the NFL, but my point is that an NFL offense and/or defense can’t be learned quickly, especially if it is a different system than what they are familiar with.

Thanks Hawaiian, I believe you are correct with Roscoe Parrish. You are the only one who could answer that. Gold star for you.

Oregon’s offense is certainly productive. I didn’t quite understand what you were getting at though.

Young players heal a heck of a lot faster than the older players. Also, some people just heal faster than others period. They are not going to rush him back unless they know he is ready to go. I would love to see him back this year.

in 1981 I was 16 (crap I am old) and somebody had crashed into from behind while snow skiing. I had a dislocated clavicle from the incident. I was back playing football,and practicing martial arts well before anybody including the doctors thought I could resume. my point is that the human body can be a wondrous thing some times!

“Doe anyone know a single player who was signed, sprinted and actually played during this season who didn’t run the gauntlets weeks before? We’re talking about signing players off the streets to fill gaps in the depth chart. After the gauntlets the players disappear or are relegated to the practice squad to recover.”

———-

(can’t believe I’m doing this). Do you know anyone across the league that has signed someone off the streets and that player is getting playing time? I could list Roscoe Parrish, but I’m sure thats not good enough for you. Rarely in the NFL does someone off the streets play. They were on the streets for a reason, not to mention that there’s this thing called a playbook that players tend to need to learn before they play on the team. We aren’t running the Oregon spread offense here, but then again, I bet you think their offense is very complex because Chip Kelly runs it.

“Because there is ONLY 1 person on the planet that A) Still wants Chip Kelly and B) Remotely cares about the pre-season conditioning tests… even Winslow has moved on by now dude.”

A) You’re right, Oregon didn’t win this week so Kelly’s whole career is a travesty and Schiano is God!

B) If they were indeed only “pre-season conditioning tests” I would be moving on but that is not the truth now, is it?

Doctors and trainers cannot and will not be held responsible for any injury to Bowers. People rush back too early and get re-injured all the time. Injuries happen in football, and there is absolutely no way to prove such an accusation. You cannot sue every time you get hurt in the NFL. It doesn’t work that way. The only exception would be related to concussions, but even that is highly unlikely the players will ever see a cent of that money.

As for Bowers, I don’t particularly think he should play, but I’m no doctor. I’m not going to pretend to be one, so I’ll let the real ones do their job and trust their judgement. I feel confident they will be very cautious.

i agree 100% with bucfanjeff, if the doctors say he can play then let him play. has anybody on this site dealt with a torn Achilles tendon? i dont know the first thing about them but factor in that Bowers and Suggs get the highest of medical care that we do not. both guys are progressing faster than expected. other player are doing the same with other injuries just look at Adrian Peterson and Jamaal Charles. just sayin playing on the side of caution is fine but if hes cleared then let him rejoin his team on the field. BUC IT IM OUT!!!!!!!!!!

“Nobody wants him or anyone else to put themselves at greater risk, but if you’ve got doctors, rehab specialists, trainers, etc that say he’s ok to play with no greater risk now vs next year – let him play. The Bucs absolutely want to protect their multi-million dollar investment in Bowers.”

A)There is no doctor, rehab specialist or trainer that will sign a document clearing him to play. They would be professionally and financially held responsible.

It all comes down to banksters, will they be able to construct an insurance type derivative to financially cover the Bucs and Bowers. The Buc’s having to be covered for financial loss and liability. Bowers, his agent, lawyers and management covered financially.

Greg Schiano and other coaches will need to be covered personally.

My experience with lawyers would suggest that no matter how much work goes into this financial instrument, the lawyers will screw it up.

B)The dreaded and unnecessary 110X16 gauntlets which I’ve explained over and over ad nauseum keep biting them in the ass week after week. I said it before training camp, during preseason and during the season.

Why doesn’t someone in the media simply ask the Little General if he is willing to put an exemption into the torture tests to allow injured players a pass. Put him on the spot.
