that blows. He had a good run. I would love for him to come back to Bmore.

Some team will sign him. But not Balmur. We have Leach under contract for 2 > years and signed the Clemson kid as a UDFA (and that kid has potential).

Matt Light to retire at age 33. According to the article, the team really tried to talk him out of it. The Pats will be an interesting team next year.

he went from being a surefire top 5 pick to the 51st pick to this.

When you have a bad wheel, it all goes downhill from there.

Is it just me, or are there a hell of a lot more achilles injuries lately? Back when Marino tore his, it was a rather rare injury. It now seems like we hear about athletes tearing their achilles tendons on a pretty regular basis.

Ovie was released today: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/05/08/falcons-release-ovie-mughelli/

Come on down to SF. We've got a few guys that would LOVE to run behind Ovie @ the goal line.

The Ravens signed 19 free agents today including 2 former Wake Forest stars. Our former safety Chyl Quarles and also our former running back Brandon Pendergrass. Best of luck to those 2 guys and the rest of the Wake fam in the NFL. Anyone else notice any other Wake signings lately?

I was thinking the same thing. It seems like it used to be rare for 2-3 guys to have that injury, now it's normal for 2-3 per team to have it.

Bigger muscles and more offseason training = a lot more force being put on tendons. You can't strengthen a tendon.

 

[WakeFanAdam]

I think the lockout has something to do with it too. Maybe not with DaQuan since it was recent, but last season guys went a long time without intense training and workouts, and then were thrown back into the nfl-level intensity, and i bet some tendons weren't stretched back out properly.

Jason Peters ruptured his achilles again after falling off his electric scooter in his kitchen.

Good article on Looney's progress with the 2013 Super Bowl champions.

 

[BillBrasky]

The Panthers should sign Ovie. He's gotta be better than Fiamata (sp?) or whatever that dude's name is.

 

[OldGoldBeard]

Fiammetta hasn't been on the team since September. Tolbert was signed to play fullback.

I miss Looney already. What a great Deac!

 

[BillBrasky]

Is Tolbert a legit blocking FB? Or are we just gonna not use one of those?

There's a full-house backfield, quintuple option offense coming soon to a Panthers game near you.
