Bob Sanders Hurt Again

Bob Sanders not only missed his second straight day of practice for an elbow he injured in the game against San Francisco, but he also flew to Alabama to see the famous Dr. James Andrews. That can't be a great sign that Sanders couldn't wait until the day after the game, which NFL teams don't generally use to practice, to make this visit.
Sanders is quickly becoming a tragic figure. He is undoubtedly one of the best defensive players in the league when healthy enough to actually play. The problem is that since his first full season as a starter (2005), he has played in just 41 games out of a possible 71. As much as I wish to see a safety of Sanders' talent playing for the Texans someday, I would imagine it would be excruciating to know you have that kind of player but he can only get on the field about half the time. Colts fans, I'm very curious to hear your reaction to Sanders' continuous injury woes.

In better Colts injury news
Anthony Gonzalez’s PCL is not torn, his season is not over, he had a scope on the knee to clear out some loose particles and is now expected back in 2-3 weeks.

Great News
Thanks, Stampede Shake.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

When he comes back,
How big of a role do you think he’ll play on the offense?
Im just wondering if I should pick him up for my FF team and drop Collie.
by Jordann on Nov 6, 2009 9:53 AM CST up reply actions 0 recs
He should play a huge role.
Peyton loves Gonzo, and Garcon has sucked the last 2 games, IMO. I want Gonzo back ASAP and back on the outside.
Now a proud annoyance on Stampede Blue, 18to88, Indy Football Report, and Phil B's blog.
Man, I need a life...
Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: Viz Media (The creators of my absolute favorite show of all-time and inspiration to my avatar, Naruto) just announced a partnership with the channel Disney XD to bring the English-dubbed episodes of Naruto Shippuden (The continuation of the Naruto series) to that station with a new episode airing each week, starting, well, NOW. With the series recording I just put on it, this is one of the greatest days I've had in a long time. I'm not kidding. I love the show that much.

when he comes back he'll definitely have a bigger role than Collie

So drop Collie?
Or just put him on the bench.
by Jordann on Nov 6, 2009 10:22 AM CST up reply actions 0 recs
depends on you else you have
but when Gonzo gets back he’ll have more value that Collie

Collie will still be the slot WR
it’s Garcon who’s going to get pushed out of the lineup when Gonzo is back.

I really only have one dependable receiver.
And sadly that’s Wes Welker. I didn’t get to pick whoever I want coz I missed the draft but im still making the most out of it.
I got Welker as my WR1 and it’s either Collie, Maclin, Knox as 2 and 3.
I just now realized that other than Welker, im depending on rookies for points.
Im fucked.

Keep Collie
As shake said earlier, Gonzo has more value when he comes back but the guy who takes the biggest hit is Garcon. Collie will still be the slot guy either way, he should be kept either way. (if he stays consistent.)
by yellowsnow on Nov 6, 2009 2:57 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Keep Collie.
Gonzo will replace Garcon, not Collie. I think Collie’s role won’t be affected that much.

I just hope...
Brian Cushing doesn’t end up in the same injury boat as Sanders. They’re alot alike in terms of intensity, hard hitting and their ability to raise the level of their teammates. And Brian Cushing has a bothersome injury history. Hopefully, he can stay healthy.

We don't know the extent of
the injury yet. BBS already gave up on Sanders earlier this year, but I still have some faith in him. I can’t imagine a random elbow injury could be that serious. We have a good backup in Bullitt, so I’m just looking for Bobzilla to be back for the playoffs.
By the way, it’s now all injuries, all the time over at Stampede Blue. It’s getting depressing.

i know this is about our injury but i was wondering
what the deal is with cushing and mario williams do you expect to have either one of them playing. i saw on an injury report that they didn’t practice yesturday
GO COLTS!!! 09 IS OURS!!!
by ANGELSFAITH on Nov 6, 2009 11:41 AM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Yes
Both have been limited all week in practice the last few weeks and still played. That includes Cushing last week before his Defensive player of the Week performance.
You know... for kids.
by Jake on Nov 6, 2009 11:47 AM CST up reply actions 0 recs
ok so you think they just have him on there as a lingering nagging injury
but probably not serious enough to not have them playing since they were able to play last week and were on the report then as well
GO COLTS!!! 09 IS OURS!!!

Mario & Cushing
Mario has been nursing a sore shoulder all season, and it has limited some of his practice time.
I didn’t actually see the report about Cushing until after you brought it up here, but per the mothership, Cushing has been held back on quite a few practices this year due to a foot injury. He is expected to practice in full again after the Bye week.

Boke a leg last year but what else. Better than schaub being taken out by the sideline

There was another practice this year where he hurt himself with no one arround, obviously it wasn’t too serious. But seriously, how did he break his leg just running down the damn field.
by nolander on Nov 6, 2009 12:15 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
DAMN IT!!! oh well it wont effect us to much
it has now been reported by chefter but not confirmed by the team that BOB had a torn bicep so he is in need of surgery and would miss the rest of the season if it is true.

yes early in the week Hagler was put on the IR with a torn bicep he was our OLB
wheeler will be getting playing time in his place and shouldn’t really see a drop of in my opinion he was beaten our in pre season by hagler

That’s very unusual.

i know it is very odd and that is a weird injury especially for bob just cause
we saw nothing in the game that explains the injury but it is bob so he doesn’t need something obvious lol

Maybe that's why he left the Ram's game early.
by Jordann on Nov 6, 2009 12:31 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
i dont think so
he left that game as the team said he ws done for the day and went to ice dow. also with that injury he wouldn’t have been able to play last week at all. it was last week and swelled latter in the day or the next morning dont know which

oh and jordann on your ff team
i would say keep collie then drop one of the other two recievers your number 2 or 3 and pick up gonzo if it isn’t to late. with him missing a few more weeks i would mabye just let him go thoguh and not touch him
GO COLTS!!! 09 IS OURS!!!
by ANGELSFAITH on Nov 6, 2009 12:36 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah im thinking of dropping Caldwell
and picking up Gonzo and holding on to him until he gets back.
Thanks for the tip.

hey on the wayne vs. AJ i dont agree with you guys id argue that
wayne is in the descussion and there is a good argument for wayne being one and this isn’t taking away from AJ in my mind. to me he and wayne are diffrent types of recievers. anyway probably an argument for another time just thought id let you know

i will say right now it is interesting and the other thread i noticed a mistake. wayne has only been in the league 2 more seasons. but remember in 01 and 02 he wasn’t a full time starter and only started 1 seasons worth of games in those two years so you got to take that into account. but dont worry there are things def. that AJ has going for him that wayne didn’t.

How are we feeling?
oh we are (well at least me anyway) banging my head agaisnt the wall as we lost Jackson, Sanders, and Hagler consecutively for the season. Gonzo now has another three week time frame added to his expected return and Hayden has another month. Thank god for depth in the secondary, but this all fucking blows to high hell
by metal_militia on Nov 6, 2009 2:46 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Dont worry man.
We feel your pain. We’ve been through the same. Time to find out if the “next men up” are capable of stepping up.
by Jordann on Nov 6, 2009 2:49 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
So the Colts have now lost 4 defensive starters this week??
Or was Hayden already out making it only three? Hagler was lost on tuesday, Jackson on thursday, and Sanders on friday, but i dont know when Hayden’s absence was announced.
Obviously this helps the Texans but it gives me contrasting feelings with regard to the OD injury. If we had him this week he would take full advantage of the Colts missing both starting safeties, a starting corner, and a starting linebacker. As it stands though, the colts injuries help cancel out the OD and Casey injuries.
Either way, the Texans should have a pretty good time passing the ball this Sunday at Lucas Oil. Before the Jackson and Sanders injuries i didnt think the Texans would win, but now i must re-evaluate.
