Injuries are Starting

[NightTerror218]

Miller left practice with a trainer and Carter was carted off field due to injuries.

If this continues we should win the Andrew Luck derby. Ironic that the unLUCKiest franchise in the NFL will land a guy named Luck.
Its starting to look like this team is cursed.

Hell yeah! It's over before it begins!

If we would just forfeit the season now, I'll never have to watch Orton play for my beloved team again... those would be the days...

And to think, I actually had hope for this season...

[underrated29]

No matter, I will be there tomorrow and my powers of awesomeness combined with the tebow.....



Lets just say we are free and clear:salute:


(last year guys were going down, then I showed up, and only big dick quinn did something to his ankle. So did another lineman or something.) Greek better watch his back because im coming for his job.

I like Quinton Carter more than Rahim Moore, depending on what we do with our scheme. He better have been carted off because he was so exhausted from being awesome.

I'm looking forward to watching him PLAY.

You and me, both. Dude reminds me a of a better age. He's a hitter and is fearless.

Carter can do a LOT on a football field, and if he runs a 4.6 on the field the way he did at the combine I'll eat my hat. He's fast and fierce, and can cover, tackle in the run game or the passing one, and hit like a freight train.

Unless he can't figure out the pro game, what's not to like? Hopefully he's just out of breath due to the altitude (ha) and doesn't have a knee issue or something.

He's the guy who should be taking over for Dawkins shortly, if we did it right.

From today's blog.


Mohamed entered the lineup when Miller stepped to the sideline and laid down beside Head Athletic Trainer Steve Antonopulos, who proceeded to work on the rookie’s right leg. Miller stayed on the field for a while, but eventually walked back into the locker room.

Later in practice, Carter took a ride on a cart across the field, but got up and walked under his own power into the locker room as well.

Head Coach John Fox said after practice that Miller has a quad bruise, and Carter was suffering from heat stress.

Appears that we survived the day.

So he WAS worn out from being awesome. Terrific. :salute:

Glad it is only a bruise and heat. I dont want this to start looking like last year with players get injured left and right.

[Dzone]

Heat stress? Hasnt he been working out this summer? So is he out of shape or what? Its not like he is a 375 pound Olineman. Come on!

[Juriga72]

I heard Orton pulled his Uvula....as he was on record shattering pace in drills....

[nevcraw]

glad our rook homies are alright.. hopefully once there vajayjay's are healed up they will get the azz's back into the lineup.. need all ther help we get get.

You have to drink more water at altitude. A lot of kids coming from sea level don't know that and get dehydrated quickly - more quickly than they're used to. Which kicks off the heat stress.

That's the problem with skipping OTAs and just hitting training camp hard - a kid who's been working out at sea level isn't gonna be adjusted to what happens in camp here.

*shrugs* He'll pound the water from now on and be fine.

It doesn't sound like Miller's injury is all that serious.

Ya thats true. I suppose it takes some getting used to. Thats why there is a big plaque outside the door of the visitors lockerroom at Invesco which make3s a big deal about the Mile High above sea level, just to mess with their heads...LOL

Yeah a lot of good that has done As of late seems the mile high magic pretty much disappeared with Elway.

Make sure you mention the wine and cheese crowd also.

I was glad to see Fox showing up in shape for camp. I was surprised how svelte the dude looked. I think he has lost some weight. The less he resembles Wade Phillips, the better.

[Lonestar]

lets hope that our conditioning guy keeps more players on the field than he has in the past what 5-6 years..

groin pulls in 08 IIRC then last year hamstrings and Achilles

IMHO something stinks in our conditioning department.

I love the Doom and Gloom posters here.....they also prolly call 911 if they get a splinter.
