    A lisfranc injury usually takes 3-4 months to return from.

    Not sure where you're coming up with this. Stanback was laid up for six months, and it took over a year for him to round back into form. Derrick Johnson was out for over a year, if memory serves. Lisfrancs can be career-killing injuries:
    Six months later, he's farther along the same route previously taken by Errict Rhett, Duce Staley, Ty Law and Kevin Jones, among others. Rhett's NFL career ended following a Lisfranc injury in 2000. Staley came back after his in 2001, but was never the same. Pittsburgh cut him last December. Law returned from surgery late in 2004 to intercept a career high 10 passes for the Jets the next season.

    Jones, Detroit's running back, had surgery for a Lisfranc fracture in his left foot last December. He just starting jogging on a treadmill and hopes to be ready for Lions training camp in July.

    Possession types?

    Possession of white skin?

  • Film room guys who get the most out of limited athleticism

    Danny Woodhead, Julian Edelman, and Wes Welker agree.

    REAL blue collar grit.

    Can we get Cody Bruns an 8th year of eligibility?

    I'm just going off what they said when he got hurt. I don't have a link, but IIRC, that's what was said.

    Just because he doesn't have a dad doesn't make him fast.

    Bruns is my least favorite Husky player ever. It's not his fault, but the love he got on doogman was sickening. He was called a great route runner by many, although he never was open. If he was black, he wouldn't have gotten half the love he did. He was the scrappy white dude that everyone loves. Problem was, he sucked, and really wasn't even very scrappy.

    I wouldn't disagree. Williams/Stringfellow/Mickens/Ross is a WR corps that a lot of teams would kill to have.

    Not very diverse. We should mandate that all teams have some Steve Largent type receivers
    Guys with valid ID?

    Yes. The way he held those balls for the kicker and threw an incomplete pass every 4th game was epic. Yes, epic.

    A couple of things we might see in the future: First, CP likes to turn multiple TE's lose to run downfield and catch passes while fast WR's decoy opposing pass defenders; and Second, the defensive staff CP brought from BSU is not afraid to put young, inexperienced DB's on the field against anybody. Hopefully, we're about to see (again) that solid fundamentals and focus on discipline can make-up for lack of depth and experience at the skill positions.
