Bucs' Sabby Piscitelli regrets season-ending injury to Ronnie Brown

No need for him to apologize.

Ronnie Brown is like glass. He breaks quite easily.

 

nice sentiment by piscatelli.

 

**** you

 

^ wow

 

That's the best you can do?

 

awesome.

 

???? An opposing player makes a sincere statement about injuring one of our players and you use it as an opportunity to take a cheap shot at Ronnie Brown? I don't even know what to say to this. Actually on second thought, I do, but fin13 beat me to it.

 

Really? This crap is going to start again?

Wow... I come here the first time in a few days and see this? Atrocious. Go play the game. See how easy it is for your body to take a beating. Its football. Players get injured. Its as simple as that. Especially a guy who is on the field almost ever offensive play, and touches the ball and gets hit about 20-25 times again. things happen.

Sure, claim the injury prone crap... Love it. A facemask to the hand/getting your hand stuck in someones facemask, whatever happened and you break a bone in your hand... freak accident. Blow out your knee trying to make a tackle, something that you don't do regularly... foot gets caught in the turf weird and there goes the knee... Another strange occurrence. Now this, odd little foot injury, getting hit while making a move, looked like the foot got caught, stepped on, whatever, and he's done again. And here's the Ronnie's glass crap. But lets overlook how he performed last year after having his knee put back together. Yeah, that doesnt matter. Forget it really. I'm done with this crap. I can't believe I've wasted this much time of my life on this topic already.

That said, Id really love to see you out there. Lets see how long you last. I'll guess one, or two plays.

And yes, I'm fully expecting a respose of... shut it. I played ball... blah blah blah.

Hate to say it, but I agree with the simple response that's already been said that will probably lead to a ban

/end rant

Oh, and great response by Piscitelli. Obviously it wasnt intentional.

 

Seeing Ronnie go down again was painful. I really wanted to see him finish the season strong. It's part of the game though and Ricky has filled in admirably. I hope he can keep it up. I'm wondering if we might see Kory Sheets one of these days?

 

calm down, man!

 

I got told!

 

i wanna put that in my sig

 

Will I get banned if I agree?

 

Thats classy.

 

Calm down, brandon.

I don't want to make this a thread about Ronnie and his injury history, but this is CLEARLY an instance where your objectivity gets in the way of your bias towards your favorite player.

I'm cool with it, it happens...much like I go nuts about Marino being the greatest QB of all time. I don't do very well listening to that argument.

However, to say that Ronnie isn't injury prone is just false IMO. Unless we have a difference in what injury prone means, I can't see it as otherwise.

He is prone to accidents/injuries. Whether the injuries or flukes, accidents, whatever, it's all the same.

I love Ronnie Brown and want him on the team, but it is what is.

 

You forgot to mention his "lack of vision". You also forgot to mention his "lack of breakaway speed".

Honestly, glass is the best analogy you can use? You're trying to be clever with that one?

 

you are also forgetting:

"dances too much".
"does not want to be the man."
"he was a third down back at auburn."
"we should have drafted Braylon Edwards."
"Doesn't play with attitude."
"Ricky is better."


did I miss any?

 

Back on track. He didn't need to apologize.

 

Sabby is my boy..One of my all time favorite college players. He was a gawd

Every football player in the NFL is "prone to injury". Especially those at the running back position. Your job is to get hit.

That's why they have such a short shelf-life. Unlike a WR who can go out of bounds or simply fall down, RB's take a hit on almost every play, and sometimes multiple hits if they are successful.

Name me one position in all of professional sports that takes a beating as much as a RB does. I'll wait.

 

Sabby is a good guy and I'm sure he didn't mean to put the hurting on Brown. Sometimes things just go bad I guess.

 

Head Coach of the New York Knicks.

 

I should have specified which beating, literal or figurative. Well played, Sir.

 

Any position on the Royals, Pirates or Clippers....

Honestly though, I know we don't like to hear it, but Ronnie certainly is injury prone. It is the one aspect of his game, I think, that prevents him from being an elite back in this league. With the exception of last year, he has never had a complete season here in Miami. One year out of five where he remained healthy throughout. It is a cause for concern.

I still love Ronnie though.

 

I was asking myself why would a defensive player apologize for making a routine hit on a running back that has a tendency to get injured.

I think it was a nice gesture on his part but what is the point.

 

Along with everyother player at Oregon State

 

I'm guessing he got questioned on it, and of course his response is going to be that he feels bad it happened. Reporters looking for sound bytes, etc.

 

By the way, If you are one of the two guys from your avatar, I am pretty sure I ran into you guys after the Panthers game. I was a tad tipsy and wandering around the streets of Charlotte when I spoke to you.

 

Ronnie Brown is a soft running back take it as you will and move on.

Something I like to call the truth!

 

I know you don't have a decent team down there, but hockey players tend to get hit quite frequently.

 

Really---
Your a friggin Clown.
One Look at your posts and over 80% of them bash Ronnie Brown and slurp Rickys Little D*c*y like John Madden on Brett Favre.

I can officially say your a Troll, and a nuisance on the class and integrity of the board. If someone didn't know any better, they'd swear every fan on this board is a Ronnie Hater.

Keep talkin smack about Ronnie, next season he'll prove you wrong. Remember this from history class?

Prior to his injury Brown was one of the most dangerous players in the league. As far as injury goes he's just had bad luck...can't see how anyone can pin this on his physical condition. He came back like an animal after his knee surgery and I expect he'll do the same after this.

He's not perfect but soft players don't line up and take a direct snap with ten seconds to go and win games. He's good enough that this isn't just our loss....the NFL in general loses. Sundays got less exciting the minute they helped him off the field, there's your truth.

 

Post of the century.

 

I still like Killerphins.

 

Oh c'mon. Of course every player in the NFL is prone to injury. That's like saying every human being is prone to dying.

Every thing you said is obvious but useless in the discussion of Ronnie Brown. Yes, he plays a position in a game that magnifies the chance of injury. But why hasn't every other premier back had to miss as many games as he has? Are they less physical? Do they play a different game?

I don't see what the problem is with Ronnie Brown having a flaw...and it is a flaw. He has been able to play only one full season in his career. To say he isn't injury/accident prone is really not being objective...because he is.

Even superheroes have their flaws. It happens.

 

Not as much as a running back gets hits. I'll agree the hits in hockey can be just as violent if not moreso, but they don't take the pounding on a regular basis a ball-carrier does IMO.

 

Thanks for making my point for me bud. If you agree that every player is injury prone, why are we having a discussion about Ronnie Brown being injury prone?!

That was my point, and no it's not a flaw in Ronnie Browns game. You might as well say there's a flaw in the human design, because there's no skill or trick to avoid getting injured when you take a hit.

To say that Ronnie Brown is injury prone is to agree that those other "premier" backs are great at avoiding injury, which I don't believe to be the case. These are major injuries Brown has suffered.

I ask you this, how many games has Ronnie Brown missed because of a pulled hamstring or some other minor injury?

 

did the definition of truth change.....
