I told you guys since draft day that Dobbins would start in place of Crowder! (just had no idea it would be because of injury) :lol:

If Crowder is healthy, he will start over Dobbins. He's better in coverage than Dobbins. I happy to have Dobbins on the team, but I'd be worried if he had to start all 16 games.

the guy stinks in coverage and now he is hurt again
I'm willing to bet that Dobbins could get in there and make a few plays Channing would be easily forgotten
status quo sucks. I'm ready for something newfirst&goal and gunn34 like this. -
People kind of blew it off but Padre was right on the radio show last night
the fact that Crowder is going for a second opinion looks really bad for him
it is obviously something they couldn't quite figure out and will eventually involve surgery or all kinds of rest. I think anyone who has hopes of seeing Crowder on the field anytime soon are going to be disappointed.
He might be toast folks. :up:padre31 likes this. -
Crowder is still better than Dobbins in coverage, and playing next to Karlos Dansby will only help whomever is next to him as Dansby's role would expand. Having had Edds available would help Crowder as Crowder would only be a 2-down guy (he might still be). But given, what we've seen, Crowder is still a better player IMO, but he's certainly injury prone. As for a 2nd opinion, that goes either way. Perhaps the first doctor told him not to play with whatever Channing's injury is. If Channing feels better and like he could play, why not get a second opinion.
All that being said, I'm happy that we have Dobbins as opposed to Reggie Torbor if Crowder can't go.padre31 likes this. -

As for the replacements:
Dansby/Dobbins
Johnson as the 1 A backup?
Charlie Anderson as the jack of all trades LB?
Doesn't sound terrible, but Anderson doesn't have the build of a ILB though I'd bet he can play nickel ILB, but Micah Johnson is a stone rook who was waived by the Giants earlier this preseason..big gamble to make him the back up/run stuffing ILB. -

*Note I've tried to buzz the birdie about crowder and there is a total lockdown on this one coming straight from the Tuna himself.
Personally i thnk if it were a hernia, there would be no reason why he hasnt had the surgery. It only takes a few weeks to come back for that. If he has a Labrum tear in his Hip(like a-rod; sydney rice) he will be gone for 8 - 9 weeks. The latter sounds like the problem as most people wouldnt be going for 2nd and 3rd opinions on a hernia issue.siciliansith, Two Tacos, jetssuck and 1 other person like this. -
I was at the ortho's office when this went down...... overheard it all.
Crowder was like "Doc, I want a second opinion".
So doc says "you look like a Predator with down syndrome too."jetssuck likes this. -
