Well, it was a nice 1 game run. I hope the kid bounces back.

Otis, I am so sorry this didn't work out. You had me very tempted but the 4 knee surgeries at such a young age kept me from picking him up. Thanks for the heads up and don't stop!

is this the operation where he gets a robotic limb like in I Robot? if not, whats left to operate on? being a niner fan this reminds me of Garrison Hearst and his ankle, hopefully it turns out as well

Glad I traded him and 2 late 1st rounders for Randy Moss.....

Unlucky for Danario, was really hoping he would get a chance to show what he was capable of this year. Guess the hype train will start up in 2-4 weeks again!

You are, I am, we all are... especially Otis.

Between Alexander and Jerome Harrison, Otis has missed big-time on his boldest predictions.

but someone please start a thread with a poll asking which 10 plus page thread was more overhyped?
Kareem Huggins or Danario Alexander?

Yeah, I'd say it's pretty unlucky for him to have had his 5th knee surgery before he turned 23.

I still love Danario's talent and the kid has a great attitude; I'm holding in dynasty. Harrison is, well, an afterthought. My post was more about a play on words than anything else (You're heart aches).
torn meniscus can be no big deal. I wouldn't overreact here. He had surgery and he may only be out two weeks. It sure doesn't seem wise to have this (possibly) minor injury make you suddenly consider the other four surgeries but disregarded them yesterday.
Why the Rams don't grab Iglesias off the Bears PS is beyond me. Give him what amounts to a two month tryout. No he's not going to be the next Moss, but he might be an OK WR in the NFL with Bradford and who can watch a Rams game and not feel like apologizing to him for who he has to throw to? The trade deadline came and went, at least get him a familiar face.

I'm holding in dynasty as well. I didn't pick up the guy for '10 anyway.hes made of glass. so useless.

Buy low opportunity (dynasty) for those who missed him the first time around. Will only miss a couple of games. Rams' bye is in that 2-4 week timetable.

If he is made of glass, wouldn't that make him recyclable?

If it is a repair, like the report states, he is done for 2010. Watch for IR announcement...
Damn, I should have sold this guy after his blowup game! 
Not necessarily. I personally had this done and saw a few guys in the waiting room with it too. In today's world it really is more like no big deal. Took two days for swelling to go down from 2-3 stitches and I was good. Granted I wasn't taking NFL hits and all those differences, I only mention for perspective. Often times someone with a torn ACL also has a torn meniscus and I think that's where the misunderstanding is created.

I looked some of this up for S. Breaston if its an outer tear and the Doc just cuts it away (fast rehab) If its more inner (less blood flow) and a actual repair is done (not to fast rehab). I still dunno if it was a repair but Coach says Breaston playin this wk...
I dont wanna change focus of thread but Twitter update Greg Matthews signed to Rams practice sqd. (might want to follow this) I really thought Chi would play him, but Rams do have more need.

How is Alexander a miss? Kid had a huge game in his very first game as a pro. It was a huge game football-wise (made big plays to get his team a win) and it was a big game fantasy-wise too.Not sure how he can be considered a "miss" because he got injured.

Excellent news, thank you!

I'm debating between guys like Ford, Tutu, and Danario for my final roster spot in a dynasty league. I only have room for one.
I think Danario has the best physical skills of the three but his injury history is a major red flag. Tutu has Rivers throwing to him but he's got a lot of guys ahead of him on the depth chart when they all get healthy. Ford looks interesting but Raider WR's are a crapshoot.

Danario is the most polished, the most talented, and in the best situation. I've been struggling to hold onto him in a 10/23 league. I wouldn't drop him for President Ford or Bishop Tutu. I think he'll get more reps this year, and if he does well with them - and survives - then it's good mojo going into next year. But if he's hurt again or does nothing, at least you know, and can dump him easily.California said:
