Camp Report 8/1/14

[Blue and Gold]

They are talking not serious, but maybe a day off or two, then back . . .but until they get better shot no one knows for sure

I think this would be the basis. http://www.kffl.com/player/16021/nfl/injury_history/jake-long

That said, I agree. He is going to be back week 1, and I'm glad that he is as he's a terrific linemen especially at run blocking. However this might be his last season here or in the NFL for that matter. I hope to God he stays reasonably healthy though with at least nothing major forcing him to miss a lot of time.

I understand and am well aware of his injury history, just saying he's been unfortunate with some freak accidents. An ACL tear and triceps tears like that are just random freak things that happen. He's not any more injury prone than most players. Reinjury shouldn't be any more a concern for him than anybody else imo. The basis of the argument I was talking about was that he looked at a list and called the guy an injury risk without context.

"Davin Joseph DNP"
Saffold's replacement seems to be injured too so....

 

[Mojo Ram]

I'd like to know where Saffold was lined up when he got "dinged."

 

[Tron]

Where was Rodger lined up on the line when he got hurt?

Hopefully they are nothing serious. Losing Brockers would suck, but losing Saffold would be a bigger blow imo.

Damnit Mojo, beat me to it by mere seconds!!!!

Sounds like a lot of guys out today. Fisher usually does a good job at keeping guys healthy and doesn't push them in training camp when they are dealing with minor stuff. It's all about being healthy week 1.

Ha, sorry. I'm just not in the camp that believes Saffold will be more durable just because he lines up inside at Guard.

Idk, guess we will find out when we know where he was lined up.

So far the outside seems to be his kryptonite. Hopefully its nothing major and keep healthy along with the rest of the line this year.

Agreed, I hope they keep his big ass inside from now on because I am in the camp that he should be much safer inside.

There's just too little proof to that idea for me to subscribe. I haven't changed my opinion on him being a fragile player. He's got just as much to prove as Bradford in terms of durability. More so, actually. He hasn't played a full season since 2010.

Hopefully this is just a minor camp injury. The D.Joseph signing could be HUGE this season.

 

[JackDRams]

Fuck, Saffold is made of glass.

Left Tackle I didn't see it happen, but i noticed as soon the play was over he was hunched over, and appeared to be favoring his shoulder. I kept the binoculars on him while the Reggie and the team doctor were trying to talk to him, and he seemed to just want to be left alone.

 

[lockdnram21]

Thats a pretty negative attitude, his injuries have all been freak accidents, so theres little basis for that comment, and he will be back. He's already getting a few reps, and he should definitely be good to go in a month based on his current condition. He's doing really really good right now.

im sorry but like it was said last year teams dont let pro bowl tackles walk without reasons. Between him and Saffold they are prone to injury an thats fact. I dont care how you look at it thats just how it is. i hope they both can play 16 games but i wouldnt bet on it

Thanks Coach.

Huh?

Everyone is prone to injury. It's not a characteristic unique to those two.

 

[Dodgersrf]

I am. He only seems to get hurt when playing on an island outside.
Probably just me being paranoid.
We have had such poor luck with the o line the past ten years
Drafts with underachievers. UFA underachievers. And our solid linemen can't stay on the field.
