wilbur58z Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Knee sprain according to Sonny Jurgensen and George Michael. He will have an MRI. No indication if it was the knee he hurt last year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terpfan Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Greeeat, but if we have to lose a [projected] starter than it could be worse than Bowen. We are mucho deep at safety... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfan12 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 geez...I really hope it's not serious. Last year, Bowen (when healthy) seemed to be all over the field. Here's prayin' :fingersx: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDane Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Actually, I think this is a huge bummer if he's really hurt. I'm not sure we've got as effective a blitzer as Bowen at the strong safety position. I was excited to see him back and getting playing time. I'm really hoping this isn't serious.

Neophyte Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Originally posted by KingTaylor21 gosh... good thing he aint are best SS. Ryan Clark is. Actually, he is out best SS. Clark is not bad and did real well last year but Williams was forced to change the packages and the SS blitz all but disappeared from our games. Bowen is better in run support and the blitz. Don't get me wrong, I like Clark, but he does not have Bowen's game at this point in his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsngibbs4life Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I always liked bowen as a player. I hope that it isan't anything serious and he can get back to retain HIS STARTING JOB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba9497 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 NO NO NO NO Bowen is too good to lose again hopefully only a minor sprain.. no long term damage :fingersx: explains the flurry of safety signings the last 2 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Washington Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 i hope its not serious also. they really need to consider keeping defensive starters off special teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streater101 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I've been sipping the Clark Koolaid for awhile now. i honestly think he would have emerged as the starter anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 This blows. With Bowen coupled with Taylor as our resident headhunters, our defense was looking scarier than last year's. We can still be good without him, but losing him prevents us from hurting all of our opposing wr's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really hoping this isn't serious. i agree. people seem to have forgotten bowen because clark did such a good job at filling in for him. bowen still is our ebst SS, and our second best safety overall.

wskin44 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Bowen and Taylor were paired together as the second shift safties last Friday. I figured that Williams did this because he plans on using the two together as starters. Bowen's ability to blitz is made for Williams' defense. Let's hope it's not serious.

CEJ2200 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I hope the injury to Bowen isn't serious. We just released the Safety we signed on Tuesday - Erik Brown. We signed third-year safety Siddeeq Shabazz today. I guess they picked him for his special teams play (does that mean Brown wasn't into playing that role?!).

Pete Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Clark did a fine job in Bowens place last year, but he doesn't lay the wood to people the way Bowen does. Lets hope this is just a minor thing. I would love to have two very dangerous safties on the field for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets hope this is just a minor thing. I would love to have two very dangerous safties on the field for the season. What Pete said. Losing Bowens can only hurt our roster. You just don't go out and sign a player of Bowens stature for the cheap we signed him. I don't want sound cheap here. Bowens is a he!!uva hitter and was working very nice last season in our safety blitz package. I still remember that clothesline tackle he made on (What's his name) for a two yard loss when it looked in all the world as a ten yard gain.:cool: This just before his injury:doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
