dawkins?

is that serious or just a break off

I'm worried about missing C.Buck

KnoMo is getting better every week, but Buckhalter has still been our best RB.

Hopefully Dawkins is nothing

and good the Phonz is at least practicing, hopefully we can get Buck in there

Hate seeing Dawkins on there

But I’ll wait until Friday’s report to be concerned

I think dawk

is just sore. I saw the play where he “hurt” himself. It’s the one where he tries to dive on the runner on the screen pass and he comes up favoring his side. Besides it can’t be to serious considering he ran down the receiver at the end

"Pleased? We are excited about the proposition of going forward from where we are right now. Pleased? I don't know if you want to say pleased. You may want to hang your hat on pleased. I don't want to hang my hat on nothing right now."

-Brian Dawkins, on the play of the defense

Once he gets his hands on you, there's not much you're going to do. Then you can't outrun him, you can't run around him, you can't really run him over -- so you've just got to deal with it."

Isn't Wednesday a typical day to take off for a recuperating vet?

I thought they installed the game plan today, so he would basically get three full days with limited/no physical work (other than physical therapy and weight training)?

This is really good news considering

Remember last year, we were spewing RB’s all over the place. 5 players dinged up after Week 5 is pretty healthy, IMO.

I'm feelin good about it

It looks like we might go into the NE game missing only Buck and Larsen. Both are important losses, but it could be much worse. Smith and Hamilton would be big additions if they make it back.

Agreed

The past few years the injury list was endless. Hope Dawkins is ok, but outside of that it would be nice to have Hamilton back! Good to see Ryan Harris isn’t on there anymore.

I think its really important to have the o-line healthy and intact. I think some of Harris’ struggles are due to his shoulder injury and some due to not playing with the same guy next to him each week.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but week 1 Kuper was out and then since then Harris has been dinged up.
