There are those women who think they like the guy he has just a few problems, and it never works. people are who they are. You can get them to contain bad habits, but when it comes to bad body design, you set yourself up for injurys. The only way to stay on the field is to know your soft spots and guard them. Weakness in hands for instance. You want to fight for that extra yard and it gets you hurt. Get it next play. If Earl Campbell would have been taught to step out of bounds it’s no telling how great he could have been. Insted he’s known as the only running back to get flagged for unneccessary roughness.

@epadaon I hear what you are saying, but some of those reports go back to his high school years! Here’s another example of a player some Charger fans were high on, Brian Cushing:

Injury Report

2004: Missed three games during his high school senior year with an ankle sprain.

2005: Suffered a shoulder dislocation prior to the Arkansas contest (9/17), sitting out that game and also vs. Oregon (9/24), Arizona State (10/01) Arizona (10/08) and Notre Dame (10/15)…Underwent surgery after the season, missing 2006 spring camp.

2007: Missed most of spring drills with a right hamstring strain…After spring camp, he underwent arthroscopic left knee surgery…Suffered a slight bone fracture and a high ankle sprain vs. Idaho (9/01)…Saw limited action the next two games vs. Nebraska (9/15) and Washington State (9/22), but re-injured the ankle vs. WSU, sitting out the next three games vs. Washington (9/29), Stanford (10/06) and Arizona (10/13).

@gtr_donald man that is a lot of history of injury!

i know what you are saying about breaking a foot as not necessarily something you could prevent.. but nonetheless, he finds ways to get injured. can’t deny the history that is there.

it’s like when we signed bob sanders… we knew he would get injured, we just wondered how long he could contribute to the team before he did.
