Hunter_R Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Hmm... I think I'd prefer him to sit this one out. It's not like the Skins are in dire need of him agains the Rams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsngibbs4life Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 great to hear. All it does is add another great player to an already good defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stophovr6 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 **** it, let's see what he can do. I bet he gets a sack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllAboutSkins08 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 i really hope they're not rushing him. don't want a lingering injury, especially considering how important he can be to this team. but JT is a warrior and really wants to play. here's hoping that he doesn't sustain any other injuries the rest of the season!

Hopefully he is close enough to 100% to where he can use this game to get his football legs back under him. Even if an All-pro misses a couple of games due to an injury, i assume that he needs a game or so to "knock the rust off" That is a good point. We have done great without him but..... Welcome back JT!! :notworthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'KanSkinFan Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I realize the compartment syndrome stopped JT's starting streak; what I am concerned with~ compartment syndrome isn't a "splinter", its a life threatening/limb threatening condition. I hope the trainers are making a correct decision:( JT has proved his value on the team~ I want him healthy;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleVA Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 You've got to understand - if he's playing that means it was approved by the doctors.. And they wouldn't risk their ass saying he could go on the field if he wasn't physically able - because they'd be liable if he were to get hurt.. Physically I'm sure he's alright.

Just his name alone will warrant him double teams, freeing up someone else. As long as he feels good and is ready to go, I'm ready to see him back.

ouvan59 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I realize the compartment syndrome stopped JT's starting streak; what I am concerned with~ compartment syndrome isn't a "splinter"' date=' its a life threatening/limb threatening condition. I hope the trainers are making a correct decision:( JT has proved his value on the team~ I want him healthy;)[/quote'] I believe the risk to life and limb is early if it's not diagnosed. Once it's discovered and treated I believe the real danger is over. At this point he is just risking ripping his stitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenken627 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Jason Taylor still has his stitches in, and will play but probably be used sparingly as part of the rotation with some sort of protection gear. Shawn Springs and Jason Taylor are IN for the Rams game. Marcus Washington is questionable. Stephon Heyer and Reed Doughty are OUT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 47 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 if he can go out there and it's not risking any further injury, he NEEDS to play ASAP, in my opinion. i've read alot of people say he should rest until the steelers game, but there's no way he misses that many games and comes back ready to contribute like alot of people want him to. let him get in there this week and the next couple of games so he can get his football legs back.

CPortJGibbs89 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I wonder if they just might throw him in for a few series let him get some game action and pull him out. I want him to 100% going down the stretch to push for the playoffs. His knee should be fully healed now. I look forward to seeing him out there with the players so he can start bonding more and more with them. Just think a 100% healthy JT comes in and plays his ass off and he starts bonding more and more with the team. That will make our defense very scary. I still think JT is adjusting to a new team and players but the more he gets on the field the better our pass rush is going to get. He also brings alot of fire to the game just like Fletcher. I am smiling right now just thinking about this!!! HTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMike619 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 hell ya JT, get back in there. he needs to be out there just so he can get gelled with the team. get used to how they play and go thru the motions if nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but I don't think his football legs have become all that rubbery yet. He has only missed two games. It is not like he has been out two or three months.

Jofizz Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 To the people that are trying to play Coach and say he needs to sit again: :stfu: Have you not heard his comments? He feels left out, he wants to contribute. He is more hungry than ever. Stop acting like you have more knowledge than our professional staff.

Die Hard Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Question.... is Cornelius Griffin playing? I read earlier this week that he was "out"..... but I don't know if that meant from practice or the upcoming game this Sunday. I know he banged up (sprained?) his shoulder against the Eagles last week. All things being equal... I'd rather have Griffin in the lineup than Taylor.

I know he banged up (sprained?) his shoulder against the Eagles last week. All things being equal... I'd rather have Griffin in the lineup than Taylor. I'm not sure about Griffin. Blache said that he was ailing and that Montgomery would get more snaps in practice. But everyone is practicing today with the lone exception of Reed Doughty. I'm assuming that means Griffin and Malcolm Kelly is on the practice field as well. Then again, ESPN 980 said that Heyer is out as well even though he may be on the practice field now, so who knows.

Drunken Master III Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 The good thing is that his knee is probably close to 100% now. Here's to relentless pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Prime Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Yeah I'd actually dress him and springs but keep them on the bench to rest. But if we need them they are there. No sense pushing it this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfitzo53 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Hmm... I think I'd prefer him to sit this one out. It's not like the Skins are in dire need of him agains the Rams. I agree. On Redskins Nation they said his cut was oozing when he ran the other day. Just let it heal and come back next week if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tastes Like Chicken Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Great to hear, I'm sure he would only go if he felt 100% ready. He may even just play situationally. I'm just glad that he'll get some involvement on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
