http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/09/10/albert-haynesworth-one-of-12-patriots-listed-as-questionable Haynesworth is questionable. For us Clay is out and Thomas is questionable.
Explains LJ's resigning, and Rosario's pickup being more important. Wonder if Clay will even contribute this season. I barely saw him this preseason.
Hmm well Dolphins may afford to not have Thomas in the beginning, but as the season wears on they'll need him unless LJ turns back the clock. Oh, and I have the early injury report for Tuesday... a bunch of banged up Patriots Offensive Linemen that had to deal with the Dolphins front 7.
In my experience, Belichick is one of the worst abusers of the word "questionable" in the NFL. Yes, it could be seen as some form of gamesmanship, but there comes a point where it just becomes ridiculous. The NFL should really try to crack down on that kind of thing, just because it's getting really out of hand.
If they never got on him for listing Brady as "probable (shoulder)" for years, they won't get on him for the use of the "questionable" designation. He's a 6th round pick. The odds are against him producing anything ever. I'm still not sure why the forum was so happy with his drafting, or is so certain that he'll be a quality player.
I see it the other way. If everyone that is about to play NE did the same thing, he wouldnt have a clue either. Or he would take it with a grain of salt like the rest of the league takes his inj. reports. If team A, getting ready to play NE in week 10, has had only 5 or 6 guys on the injury report all year, then puts 25 people on the injury report that week, what does he take as serious for that game. Its called payback. He wouldnt even have a right to complain about it to the league offices.
