I feel bad for A.J. Edds

Just saw that too. Feel terrible for the kid...

Dude at worst will make 100k+ as some figure head for an Iowa buisness. I know what you mean but the reality is what it is.

He was durable at Iowa too. Ya just never know who the injury bug will hit. His knee injury with Miami was non contact too as I recall. He may never play much again, or he may go ten years without another injury.
This is somewhat similar to Yatil Green. He never tore up a knee in college. Only had some muscle pulls and such. Then we all know what happened after that.

Torn ACL. Poor guy.

Was my favorite pick of that draft, probably would be competing with Misi to start at wolb if no injury.

Wow i feel bad for him... I tore my ACL a couple months back and the 6 month recovery and the feeling that you cant play football are both terrible terrible feelings... I pray for a speedy and successful recovery for him

Shame. He really had a great deal of potential and I think would have wound up a starting OLB somewhere (if not here) if not for his injuries. Really feel bad for him.

That was one of the more intriquing picks of that draft for the Fins imo. Sometimes it's just not meant to be I guess.

What happened to Yatil Green is the best evidence that we have of this team being under some vodoo curse.

Well Jimmy Johnson forced him back too soon from his first knee injury if memory serves.

This is one of th reasons why I do not complain when a player holdsout for more $$$, a career can end in a single moment.

I thought he had this 2nd knee injury in the next year's training camp. They were about one year exactly apart. Is that how you recall it too?

That sounds right. I seem to recall Yatel stating he felt he needed more time because he was experiancing soreness in his knee. JJ basically threaten to cut him if he didn't get out there and go full speed. Yatel did, and his knee went pop for the second time.

I could be wrong.

true, but it's a little different when you have legitimate childhood dreams within your grasp that get dashed after working your entire life to get there.
The emotional factor has gotta be quite significant. I've seen how it affects high school kids who never had a shot at Division 1 college, let alone the NFL.

He screwed up his quad too IRRC.

Another great pick by Ireland.

Yeah he should have seen those injuries coming...

Is that all you come here for? To bitch about Ireland? No GM in history has been able to effectively predict injuries. Edds was a solid pick in the 4th from a talent perspective. He'd been durable in college. So, it's all Ireland's fault that Edds got hurt?

I like Brazil. Ain't yet been there, but it is one place that is near the top of my 'yet to see but want to' list. :)

Edds was healthy and playing well in the preseason and we still cut him.

Make up your mind will you.
Which one is it---- a bad pick?.... or a good pick that we mistakingly cut?
Orrr, are you not being sarcastic and feel Edds was a great pick by Ireland but the staff cut him regardless? :shifty:
Nothing of your posts make sense other than twisting everything into hatred of Jeff Ireland. It's so extreme that nothing you say can be taken seriously IMO.

Added:
after reading through the old "Dolphins waive Edds" thread, the only thing that makes sense about your posts is that they sound similar to these ones:
If he is lost to another team, that's one more wasted pick by Ireland. This guy is looking worse and worse. Just get rid of him Ross.unfriggin believable. Edds led the Dolphins in the preseason with 18 tackles....was very good in coverage and was a real bright spot.......sorry FO are idiots and one more thing to add to the list to show their incompetence
