raider injuries..

Offensive linemen for Burton are pretty much pointless because their backs always outrun their blocks anyway.

But I hope that both Norton and Cwood are 100% healthy so then there is at least a good chance that the best team will win and the losers won't have anything to whine about. </div></div>
You just have to play with the best team you have on that day. Thanks for the info on the trapping guards. I'll write that down......somewhere.

"Injuries always happen at a bad time,"? Tomlin said, repeating former coach Chuck Noll's message at the time. "They're part of the game. I'm not going to complain about them and go `Woe is me.' They're as much a part of the game as blocking and tackling."?

Clintwood had a 2-way lineman quit last week. You just have to play with who you have. As long as JIB has Coleman and Miles they're doing better than most.

One is definitely gone for the year now and the other is doubtful.

Hate to hear that. Why did he quit?

I was told he didn't like splitting playing time with another kid.

Likely be better off without him in the long run if that's the case.

Wow, what an excuse - especially when you're on a powerhouse team.

Question to anyone: Did Malcolm go anywheres else? I mean he's not at Burton anymore I know that for sure, so I guess he just dropped out of school all together?
