Any new injuries besides possibly Speight?

Submitted by wayneandgarth on

Obviously Speight took a hit that hopefully will have no lingering effect.  Did anyone recognize any other potential injuries yesterday?  Would be great to be going into the conference games in decent shape of course.

Related, I trust the order of greatest liklihood of return this week for Lewis, Charlton and Mone is that order.

Speight got hit awkwardly and directly on the throwing arm when he fumbled the ball. I think that was a large part of why he was so inaccurate after having pinpoint accuracy the two weeks prior.

I wonder if Hill got chewed out after that play (I think it was Hill in there) for not picking that guy up. He was pretty beast mode blocking on the day otherwise - paved the way on the long Smith TD taking out 2 guys in succession to clear a lane on top of a few other really good blocks I noticed.

I made the mistake of reading back through the game board a bit. Speight was pretty solid but for the first third of the game. The Darboh drop on the first drive and then the fumble clearly shook him up, but then he settled down to find safe throws for Butt. Speight is light years ahead of Rudock (a 5th year player) at this time last season. Are the game boards just full of non-regularly posting chicken littles or does everyone's rationality meter get turned off?

Rationality meters get turned off. At the game was a different experience. At least in my section. Once we were down 21 to 7, people were more confused than angry. There was so much time left, and everyone just knew we would tie it up at some point. To go into halftime with a lead was unexpected. The bomb Colorado got was shocking. But everyone knew that was just a great, gutsy play from their QB. We also knew it was over for him. He got lit up one last time on that one. The whole 2nd half was smooth sailing.

That one left a mark. Shoulder pad or was it the helmet right to the cheek bone? Poor guy was just trying to do his job the best he could.

Edit: I think I'd send a check of a $1000 to Peppers if he did this against the suckeyes and he hit Robert Smith, Kirk Herbstreit or Joey Bosa right in the mouth. I could die a happy man right there.
