Knee surgery for Carey

maybe an opportunity for Lynda Murtha to secure a roster spot

 

Hopefully he can come back to where he was last year. He just never seemed to be able to get back to where he once was this year due to his injuries.

 

Well, that would certainly explain why he looked really really slow moving latteraly at times.
Is it just, or did we encrue an incredible number of injuries this year?

 

Vernon, the PanCake Monster
will return strong & quick as ever
however
would like to see Lyndon Murtha
(injured reserve list?)
heal up in time to give him a run for his money
Murtha looks like a Jake Long clone
& is an extremely atheletic right tackle
want to see if he plays that way

 

carey struggled a lot last year with his weight and such
he talked about it during the offseason how he was over his playing weight and it slowed him way down

 

Carey needs to lose about 20 pounds to be effective. The long term effect is that his knees are going last longer.

 

Carey has had problems w/ his weight since his UM days
a PanCakeMonster both ways: @ the table & on the field
but is an elite offensive tackle & the other Orca-BookEnd

would like to get a look @ Lyndon Murtha when healthy

 

If Lyndon Murtha shows he can hold his own at RT, we could then kick VC inside to the G spot. I think that he would be a monster Guard.

 

Im sorry, i must of missed something.
Who in the world is Lynda Murtha?

 

1) don't think Carey would work out @ Guard. he is a consummate tackle who can go left to right but does not work the middle
2) the Lions drafted Lyndon Murtha out of Nebraska. we picked Murtha up from their practice squad: 6'7"320 lbs very athletic, plays right tackle & is a mirror image of Jake Long. has excellent speed & quickness. this guy could posibly play inside or as a blocking TE

Friend Miamiron:

the Lions drafted Lyndon Murtha out of Nebraska. we picked him up from their practice squad: 6'7" 320 lbs very athletic, plays right tackle & is a mirror image of Jake Long. has excellent speed & quickness. this guy could possibly play inside or as a BlockingBack or BlockingTE, he appears to have that kind of versatility. last time I looked Miami was carrying him on the injured reserve list.

that's as good an answer as I can come up with in a post, all I can do is increase the size & color of the print, so it doesn't go unnoticed (c-2 of 1 on last post)

 

i actually feel better about Carey now. It explains his poor play. OT just became less of a need

 

OT was never a need. It's the G position that could use upgrading (which might involve moving Carey there).

 

they'll sort out another offensive guard in the off season
Vernon Carey doesn't work well on the inside, he is a BookEnd.
honestly, don't see many problems arising from the Pod.
they are solid, have depth & will only continue to improve.

the ideal would be to have 7 not 5 starting calibre linesmen
& I think this is what the coaches are striving for in 2010
the NFL provides a long & difficult season in the trenches
this would allow for some rotation & avoidance of injuries

it all begins in the trenches & can also end there very quickly
