DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Pure Football Forum Carl Nassib has a Broken Hand

Insert word that rhymes with Truck in all capital letters here.

Not really bothered by the Griffin or McCown injuries. But this one sucks.

BAD LUCK

Maybe he can just turn his hand into a club for awhile? It's been done.

I hope he heals up.

But man, we can not catch a break around here.

If it wasn't for bad luck ....

Maybe we need to use a Red Cross Emblem on our helmets.

Look at the surprise on my face

So then the Cleveland curse still lives?

Bah Humbug.

He's having surgery, so probably not. He's probably done for the year.

We just can't have anything that's good.

usually these are 6 week things could go to 8. I hate it for this young man and I hate it for the Browns. Kid is a beast, next man up.

Put a club on

not sure if he could play with some sort of cast or not, but this is poor luck ... once again

I'd say most, ir not all, of us are most intrigued by Nassib since training camp ... dang

how many players can we bring back from IR in a year?


1 right? if that's the case... who will we bring back?

You have to designate which player you want to bring back, which we did with Griffin.

Jackson said that Nassib will be out this week and then will be week-to-week after that.

I believe they changed the rule this year. I recall reading that the team can bring 1 player back off of IR, but that they don't have to designate that player until the actually bring him back.

You are correct.

Sounds about right to me. People have played with broken hands for decades. It's not like he is Mike Reed the piano player.

If Nassib was a pure technician like Orchard that relies on his hands I'd disagree, but you're correct.

Seem to be catching a number of breaks actually. Putrid luck.

Has Berea heard of milk. We could air lift some or a convoy or somesuch. We can't keep breaking bones like this every week.

I am also in favor of the club.

Not knowing the extent of how bad it is but, didn't Watt play with a broken hand last year?

Thankfully, Armonty returns week 5.

It sounded like Hue Jackson was walking back his "trust me" comment about Kessler. Today he was trying to say he was talking about the entire team and not just Kessler.

At some point you just have to shake your head. What else can possibly go wrong? Oh, I know, Coleman pulls his hammy next week in Miami, hence both players acquired with picks from Eagles are out.

If Wentz lights it up tonight C-Town will be criticized until Wentz has a bad game.

Right now, he looks like the real deal.

I once had the pleasure to meet Dough Atkins at a local event. He was from Tennessee. One of the best defensive line players ever. He makes all sorts of all-time starting line-ups. The guy was a beast.

I noticed two things about his hands when we shook hands. First, they were the biggest hands I have ever seen of felt. They were like bear paws. Some basketball players might have longer fingers, but this guys hands were massive. Each of his fingers were like two of a normal persons.

I also noticed his fingers had been broken many times. They weren't exactly straight. I don't think he took time off for a broken hand.

A little history for the younger dawgs...Doug was as good as it gets....he played before sacks was a stat...many say he sacked 20-25 a year, in a non passing era...

Oh....the Browns drafted him #1 in 53. The word is he got in to Paul Browns doghouse because he belched in a meeting. Brown traded him to Chicago in 55.


Paul was a great coach, but that is one he blew. Atkins was one of the all-time players. You have legends, then the guys legends talk about. Doug was one of those legends talk about.

If a few of the Browns players drafted turn out to be the real deal and we get our QB next year, both sides will have won and the fact that we passed on Wentz will be forgotten.

If the Browns "Browns" it up again, we will be reminded of it for as long as Wentz is in the NFL and playing reasonably well... and the better he plays, the more we will be reminded about it.
