slamee101 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 thats probably out 1-2 games and cast rest of the year I don't know about that. I guess we should bump that "Alford should be benched" thread so everyone can be happy about Robert McClain on the outside now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FentayeJones Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 If anybody cares, Rafael Bush is out for the year with a broken leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimitiveJN Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Arenas may actually see the field.He should be active every game day! Sucks that it takes an injury to finally play him. Keep Wilson at nickel and put Arenas outside opposite Tru. What I'd do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romfal Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Really?? Thought it would take a few months.I should say it depends how bad, it could range from a fissure to a full on dislocation,, broken bones, how much it hurts when running. I wouldn't think it would be more than 4 weeks. Playing with cast regardless of how long when he comes back. Doubt it would be IR unless its severe and needs surgery.

Dharma Initiative Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 If he plays with a club, he loses his long advantage of getting INT's. Don't play the guy anymore, please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjerry Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 If anybody cares, Rafael Bush is out for the year with a broken leg.Even before the injury, I said that I expected them to release him next year. I expect that even more now.Also, Schadenfreude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romfal Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I don't know about that.I guess we should bump that "Alford should be benched" thread so everyone can be happy about Robert McClain on the outside now.I'd be more confortable with Wilson outside, he has more starting experience. Let Arenas challenge McClain inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrapAHolic Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Would rather have Wilson outside and leave Bobby Mac at nickel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ki46dinah Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Out for 6 weeks minimum...it all varies though just depending on whether or not the guy is comfortable with the cast. The problem with a CB with a cast is that they are useless jamming a receiver. And useless trying to intercept the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romfal Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 in 2012 Chris Cook of the Vikings suffered a broken wrist in week 8 and returned to play the final 2 games of the season (7 weeks including the bye)Shane Vereen had a broken wrist in week 1 last year, came back and played 7 games, so he missed 8 weeks because they put him on IR-return.CB Ellis Hobbs missed 1 game and played with a cast for most of the year in 2006 with a broken wrist.So it depends how serious it is. Could be worse than I originally anticipated. Lets hope its just a fracture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwifalcon Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Bobby Mac outside leave Wilson at the Nickel for me. Its a shame Alford is going to be pretty decent for us and go figure we need another injury like we need the plague right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjerry Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 A source tells NFL Network's Ian Rapoport that Falcons CB Robert Alford broke his wrist in Sunday's Week 11 win over the Panthers.Alford, a 2013 second-rounder that had emerged as the Falcons starting RCB, could be done for the season. He was PFF's No. 89 corner among 112 qualifiers so far this season, a part of a Falcons defense that ranks dead last in passing yards allowed.

cnasty Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Bobby Mac outside leave Wilson at the Nickel for me.Its a shame Alford is going to be pretty decent for us and go figure we need another injury like we need the plague right nowYeah, I know Alford has been getting torched a bit, but his arrow is still pointing up. 2nd year in the league, and it was pretty obvious that he had some developing left to do.

Honestly I have no issues with Alford to me even though he has been got at alot lately and he has made mistakes he is still making plays. I'm still confident going foward if we keep improving whats going on in front of this guy he will be alot better.Even though the above is happening he is still making plays.

Rise_Up_504 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) He's done for the season. Had the mri done this AM. Fracture will heal on his own. If we host a playoff game in Jan he can possibly come back. Nolan texted him yesterday and asked if he could play with a cast but from my understanding he will be in a brace. Move Wilson to RCB, McClain inside.Sucks for him but he will be working out with Grimes, Sante and Revis at different points this offseason so he can use this time to look at film and improve on his technique.
