Heading into the off-season, Grove is determined to play the full slate of games for just the second time in his career.

“Next year I’m going to start 16, that’s the goal,” he said recently. “Hopefully I can get it next year.”

Grove played 16 games in 2006 with the Raiders. But he’s played more than 10 games just three times in six seasons, including 12 last season.

“I don’t think I’m injury prone,” he said. “I’m not thrilled it happened, but I’m not going to dwell on it. I’ll put it behind me and look toward the future.

“It’s frustrating, but it’s part of the game.”

Injury Prone?

I think Grove is a good player but delusional

Injuries suck. But i hate when people blame the player like it's his fault. Grove will be fine. He's a good center and he was a big part of our offensive line keeping Henne standing and moving the ball on the ground.

Being an interior lineman on this team is rough business. Wilfork, Jenkins, and Stroud 6 times a year? Rough. Grove sounds like he wants to be on the field though, so lets hope no more mishaps occur.

Someone please tell him if you miss games every year because of an injury...you're injury prone.

Smiley was perfect his first 3 seasons playing all 48 games
since then he has missed 13 games in the past 3 seasons

I think we should celebrate if Smiley and Grove can complete a full season

our offensive line will sport seven starting-quality offensive linesmen for the 2010 season

seven starters & a back up will allow rotation & durability
our front line is set :yes:
the Orca-5 will blow away the opposition next year
this is our strongest unit & base for winning in 2010

offensive linesmen get dinged up
during the course of a season
Grove is no exception to the rule
however
he is an exceptionally talented Center

seven starters & a back up will allow rotation & durability

our offensive line will sport seven starting-quality offensive linesmen for the 2010 season

Maybe a second year in our strength & conditioning program will keep him on the field for 16 next year, plus the playoffs!

2011 & 2006 World Champions, 2013 National League Champions; St. Louis Cardinals!

Like the goal and attitude; don't like the fact that he can't man up to the truth.

confused

this unit is set w/ youth & depth
the investment w/ made
the Orca-5 made their bones in 2009
they are already among the NFL best
& are on the road to elite next season

as the FrontLine goes, so goes the Franchise
our 2010 season will be predicated in the Pod

no problems here

PancakeMonster because of the many horrendous pancakes he laid on opposing defenses
during his college career :yes: having said that, I'm sure he's a CookieMonster too!
