Merged:Phins re-sign ILB William Kershaw

I always love how a player gets injured and then gets replaced on the roster with a player at another position. I know it could be a need thing and the position opened up to add someone, but we are now down 1 CB and added LB.

guess they think crowder might be injured......hmmmmmmm

But there's some concern about a possible injury starting inside linebacker Channing Crowder suffered against the Saints.

Crowder, who has battled knee problems the past two seasons, and is presently nursing a left ankle injury, underwent an MRI immediately following the Saints game. The nature of his actual injury was not disclosed.

At this point, you get the besat player you know is out there.
We still haave 3 solid, yet young CB's. We only have .....well we have some MLB's on the roster. :yes:

thanks to skeet for breaking the news to me via text :wink2:

Resigned William Kershaw ILB

Coach Tony Sparano has just finished his day-after press conference and he started it by confirming that cornerback Will Allen is out for the year with a torn ACL on one of his knees. Allen will be placed on injured reserve and the team has called William Kershaw to add him to the roster.

Kershaw helps on special teams but is also an insurance policy for the fact ILB Channing Crowder is nursing a left arm/shoulder injury suffered against the Saints

William Kershaw was probably the player that impressed me the most during the presason, he plays a downhill style of ILB and is probably faster than Channing Crowder...

Wow...losing Channing could hurt, now I know Channing C catches his share of flak, but Ayodele and Torbor?

I really liked Kershaw at ILB.

depth at LB is good, need to find someone who will be a solid/consistent playmaker

losing will allen, id rather sign someone like chris mccalister.

I see where you coming from Chris, but I think brining in another vet CB will slow down moturation of our two youngsters. Allen is down, and if the two going to be our starters in the future regardless, let'er rip. Sure, there will be growing pains, but at least by start of next year (not that im already looking toward next year) both guys will have plenty of reps and game time experience and hopefully be starting.

I think he is done Sick, I'd prefer Joey Thomas the truth be known, he played well enough last season, but if Channing is out or reduced due to injury we need another ILB.

Kershaw plays large and downhill.

i was just throwing out a name.....id rather bring a CB in.....i understand letting the rooks get some playing time, but imo this season is not over.

Its not.
But brining up a vet CB who will have to learn the playbook vs a guy who was drafted to be our starting CB to begin with?

Yeah, I remember seeing him make an awkward tackle on a guy, late in the game IIRC. And, I thought, that didn't look right. You know, the way his arm kinda got bent back behind his body. But, then he just got up and went back to the huddle, so I figured he was OK. Wonder if that's when it happened?

nice to see him back, I made a post way back in pre season and a couple people liked what they seen from his play.....didn't think he would be gone but hope he makes the most
