SWIFT HITTER Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 (edited) This draft was a wash for this year ..so TD has knocked out 1 draft out of ball park and we will see 3 years from now if any of the 09' draft will have any impact down the road but I can see the first 2 picks being on the injured reserve plenty10' draft we are missing 2nd round and 7th round picks but hope to be made up with conditional picksStecker wont see the field..

Ghost Rider Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 What??? This is insane. That being said, if the hamstring injury is severe, it can linger all yr. I know this from experience. You think it's healthy then you keep injuring it. This seems to be what's going on. It's more than a strain. That sucks. Our first two picks are on IR.

phattywankenobi Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Moore on IR for a hamstring injury? :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dem Birds Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 ****. I didn't expect him to get in the starting lineup this year, but we could use his speed on special teams! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tandy Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Wow Willie Moore is on IR. That is our first two picks this year on IR.I don't think they had a choice - if they dropped him down to the practice squad - he would have been snatched. They had to make room for the changes they are making. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdogg Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Our 09 class is not working out too well, so far. That is a big reason we are not playing the way we should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Masked Falcon Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 At least we saw the potential of how good Jerry might eventually become....Moore is still a huge question mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Masked Falcon Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 (edited) Too early to brand him with the Robinson tag though IMO. Edited October 27, 2009 by The Masked Falcon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atljbo Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Thats just bad luck... first 2 picks under injury reserve..If you want to look at it as 2 positives tho.1. Both can sit and really learn the scheme for next year.2. Since we didn't really get to use either this year....Its almost like adding 2 1st round talent players with the 2010 draft and freeagency class.

Ghost Rider Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I don't think they had a choice - if they dropped him down to the practice squad - he would have been snatched. They had to make room for the changes they are making.This is a very good point. Time to get him healthy for next yr. He came into this yr with a knee surgery. Next yr will be like having two drafts though with Jerry and Moore coming back at 100%. They need to work there Azzes off this offseason to get in better shape though.

Warrior999 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 William Moore, it was already a lost season and now he will be set back a year. I am going to draw back my expectations for this guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRUNKuno Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 said to see him on IR but it's not like he was contributing a significant value as it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Rider Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Thinking about it, next yr we will be getting HD, Jerry, and Moore back. That can be huge if all of them can stay healthy and be 100%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
