Official Preseason Random Thoughts Thread

Can't wait to see the rookies, particularly Jamell Fleming and Bobby Massie.

I don't think Arizona is going to use either Ryan Williams or Beanie Wells. I'm a bit worried about the RB position.

On the scroll last night during the HOF induction broadcast, it was noted that Ryan Williams will not play.

BTW how much of a loser am I? I have no interest in the HOF Game tonight. But I am watching the Cowboys Blue/White Scrimmage as we speak.

Minnesota Vikings rookie receiver Greg Childs suffered patella tendon tears in both knees and is expected to undergo surgery soon, the team announced Sunday.

Childs, drafted in the fourth round of the 2012 draft, was injured Saturday night after he jumped to catch a ball thrown slightly behind him. The ball bounced away and Childs landed awkwardly.

The 6-foot-3 Childs initially clutched his right leg, but a team of medical officials also examined his left leg. Eventually, four men lifted him, his legs fully extended, onto a cart.

Childs also tore the patella tendon in his right knee in October 2010. The Vikings had been excited about his size and potential.

Not good at all. I was a fan of his coming out.

That's terrible news about Childs. That was the same injury Gary Baxter had in Cleveland and he never played again.

So is this fucking thing airing right now? I have NFL preseason live and it's showing nothing.

Yea It's on NFL Network..which I dont have..

Kolb off the field with an injury. Looks like it may be his shoulder. I'm just basing that off of how he was planted into the ground.

You might wanna look into that. NFL Network now has a 13 game TNF schedule.

And I believe this proves W2B's theory about over exposure true imo.

[Realist]

I dont think my cable carrier carries it without having to upgrade my service and i dont want enough TV for that. I know there use to be sites that would broadcast all games but it seems like they have all been seized.

Devin Thomas announced his retirement today, guess it's good to go out on top instead of fighting for a roster spot. He's at the age where being a special teams ace just isn't enough, because teams are also looking for those guys to hopefully fill out as a backup or serviceable starter in a year or two.

That makes only one person left from the Redskins' 2008 second-round draft class in the NFL. Malcolm Kelly has not played since 2009 and was released last summer with an injury settlement, Thomas retired, but Fred Davis has a breakout season (though ended it with a suspension.) Only one other player from that class is still on the team, and one other player is still in the NFL. And that was the same draft that they took a punter in the sixth, and Colt Brennan in the seventh. Terrible, terrible draft

Flynn is going to start the 1st preseason game for the Seahawks. Wilson will play second half and Jackson is stuck on the bench.

So if anyone was wondering what Antwan Randle-El was up to after officially retiring, he is working for CSN as the guy on the field covering Redskins games.
