Boss_Hogg Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Grant Paulsen @granthpaulsen 5m Ryan Kerrigan will have a minor knee surgery next week. Suffered minor meniscus tear in week three loss to the Lions. #Redskins Doc Walker said all year that Ryan didn't look right. Man, I hope Ryan didn't hurt himself more by playing with a bad wheel.

TradeTheBeal! Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Dude gutted out the season on one leg. He's a beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewCliche21 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 John Keim @john_keim8m Kerrigan said he played with a meniscus tear. Will have arthroscopic surgery. Said its 2-4 week recovery. Others have also said that he got this in Week 3. I figured this information would help calm some fears about Kerrigan falling off and by proxy impact people's view of how Orakpo played (many on here have said that even with Kerrigan at the other end he still didn't do THAT well). Can't wait to see number 91 at full strength! Random: See how RGIII was replaced on the right side of your screen (the website background for ES) by Kerrigan? Must be a knee injury thing.

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I KNEW it. Being arguing all year he was carrying an injury and had visibly lost all power. Heal up good big man and come back and tear it up next year under our new future. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grego Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Good to hear actually, on the sense that it explains his drop off in production. It'll be good to have him back healthy next year . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Dude gutted out the season on one leg. He's a beast. No he's not, he's stupid for playing the rest of the season with a knee injury like that that he knew needed surgery. He could of made it worse, ala Griffin, and if the training staff knew this as well I want them gone, too. We can't blast Griffin for trying to do this then praise Kerrigan for doing the same thing. There's a difference between being hurt and being injured... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiv Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Why the hell was he playing when there wasn't a chance in hell we we're going to make the playoffs? That's why we sat RG3 right? Hypocrites AND Idiots. At least they are gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins Wingman Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 only a 2-4 week recovery, why not have surgery during the season? doesnt seem worth it to play through an injury when clearly your production has dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bat~man Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 At least this explains why I never knew he was even on the field after the first few games. Not a smart move IMO. He should have at least shut it down after we had zilch to play for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a difference between being hurt and being injured... No, he's a beast. Players should always want to play. It's coaches jobs to shut them down for their own benefit, when necessary. This is why I never blasted Griffin for wanting to play. That drive has to be there, otherwise you end up with a bum like Cutler or Haynesworth.

ConcordNCSkinsFan Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Anybody blasting Kerrigan needs to shut up. This is all on Shanahan again. He's never handled players with injuries correctly. Guys don't want to come out with injuries because Shanahan put them in the doghouse if they did. Then he would have a fit if the player didn't handle the injury the way they wanted to like he did with Laron Landry. There should be more than coaches being fired. The Training and PR staffs are a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
averagejakeff Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I agree, dude is a monster....I want guys on my team with the attitude that they want to play for this team no matter what! I want guys that are willing to sacrifice themselves for this team. That being said I want a coaching staff smart enough to know when it is time to shut a player down. Last season I was total fine with RGIII playing in a playoff game hurt. That is what champions due they don't sit down like Jay cutler. Chances to win titles do not come often look at what has happened to the Nats and the Skins Division champs and possible contenders one season not even making the playoffs the next, so when you have a chance for a championship even a small one you go for it. But for Kerrigan to be playing with a chance to win nothing I put that on the coaches, thankfully they are gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bantu Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 The training staff should have done a better job encouraging him to rest or get the necessary treatments, even if that means season ending surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Training and PR staffs are a joke. Yea, ok. Sure. It was not smart, it takes more than the caveman attitude of "z0mG he'S a bEast!" How'd that work out for RG3? 8+ months of rehab and one full season of bad play. He risked his ability to be a stud for a team that went 3-13. That's his fault, a lot can be blamed on Shanny...but not things like that. Aside from it not being smart at all, he was not playing well, at all. So where was the benefit of doing it?

No, he's a fool for not learning from Griffin's mistake, and we don't have to agree on this one. I respect Griffin for trying to gut out the seattle game, but I would not of blamed him if he pulled himself out after he retweeked it and **** started going downhill. At that point he was asking for it. Kerrigan is wrong here because he was first hand with the Griffin situation knowing Griffin was waiting for someone to pull him, said that, seeing how not sitting himself effected him all the way into next season hurting him and the team. Just because Ryan got away with it this time doens't make it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyHolt Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 It appeared to have hurt his performance. If true, I would rather have seen Jackson more Especially once the palyoffs were out of the question. Typical though, players playing hurt to not lose their jobs. It happens in all sports.

Burgold Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Possibly another bad coaching call, but regardless it explains why Kerrigan's production suddenly declined. Silly to call him stupid. Playing "hurt" is the NFL norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDawg Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Is Kerrigan "injury prone" now, too? Sorry couldn't resist. Seems inevitable at the first sign of injury people want to throw the label out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 This further illustrates why the whole "Sitting Griffin for health reasons" stuff was complete nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
