The Mini-Camp Thread

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said that second-round draft pick Winston Justice received some reps with the first-team offense in William Thomas' spot. Thomas is taking blood thinning medication for the blood clot he experienced last year and as a precaution, the Eagles are limiting his reps in this final week of organized team activity.

What the farg is Thomas STILL doing on heparin or warfarin.  Jesus, that seems a bit extreme for precautionary measures.

I have a buddy had a blood clot removed and was on thinners for a while.  He then went off thinners after a bit and had a serious stroke a few weeks later.  So... maybe it's not that extreme.

My friend in Europe is on Ximelagatran--which seems to be the hot trend now for short term/long term fixtures of blood clots, and works just as good/if not better than heparin and warfarin-- causes much less bleeding.

Problem: still not approved in the US (over a year) yet which really sucks for him. Im highly certain Justice will be in that lineup by mid season if not sooner

I would like to know the most recent team to win a Super Bowl with a rookie protecting the QB's blindside.

You are almost certainly right, but let's not throw in the towel just yet.

more like has there ever been one

That's kind of my point.

1.  Did he say if they've been "competitive" at an NFL level, or even at the highest ranks of collegiate play?
2.  Why were you listening to Marty Mohrninweg's press conf?

they played it on WIP

that is one coach that truly worries me as a assitant head coach. Id rather him just nodd his head "yeah" to the higher ups like in previous years, than give his full input/decision

Moats talkin up Avant

Working with the rookie receivers, Jason Avant has stood out to me. He works hard. I've seen him working out all the time catching balls by himself. Everytime I see him, he's always catching the ball. I like people who work hard.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Hands mean nothing if he's not running the right routes.  If he's spending his days catching balls and his evenings buried in the playbook, he's going to be a contributor.  Even if he went to Michigan.
