Guess for those coaches who watched both big-ticket corners Patterson and Marshall, determining which one to offload was more of a no-brainer than I'd have thought.
Tore his vagina off his vagina bone.
They said last night "It looks as if they are trying to get his shoulder back in place".
That would mean he had separation/dislocation of the shoulder. I am wondering how long that takes to heal?
Wheres our two draft picks? Davis and Taylor? Are they that bad they cannot make the field? Or are the others playing at such a high level, there is no room for them on the field?
Taylor was a 2nd rounder. Did we blow that pick too? !
Reading this actually made me more depressed regarding the draft class. Perhaps these corners will good someday - but if we were all set at DB why did we use such high picks on them? Surely we had other needs - we still don't have enough - and didn't before any injuries - playmakers on offense. A FB would have been nice too. And I'm still not sold on our RBs - only a dufus turns the best play of his career into a mind-boggling gaffe. But I guess we're set at corner for the next 5-7 years. I do think Jordan is going to be a beast.What's with all the hate for this draft class. Dion Jordan has flashed in his limited time behind, arguably, the best d-line in the league. Dion Sims gets some time at TE and Don Jones is a beast on special teams. Jelani Jenkins gets some time in at LB. Ok...Dallas Thomas hasn't shown much especially with a weak o-line. The two rookie corners are coming along slow but it's really too early to judge..especially the hardest transition position other than QB.
The team is more talented now than in past years (except for O-line) and it'll take longer for rookies to get on the field and that's a good thing.
I could be off here but I think he's only played 13 or 14 full quarters...Guys missed how many games 3 or 4? and hes tied for the league lead in INTs! I love this guy!

Go to Drew Rosenhaus' interview. He claims that Patterson might have re-aggravated his groin injury, BUT he thinks he will be fine.

Too early to tell whether we blew our picks on those two corners. Cornerback is one of the hardest to transition to for college players it seems. Look at Dee Milliner, who was supposed to be pro ready according to some, struggle consistently. Taylor was also injured a lot coming into the league, who knows if that set him back...
Either way, it's nice that we have these vets in Grimes and Patterson playing consistent ball. Allows us to bring these rookies along slowly.
