I agree.  Same situation last year.   I hope they take it slow with him and TD.    We will see.

On a side note, makes you laugh at the trio of Phillips, Keuchly, and Senn! All white boy LB corp. Haven't seen anything like that in a minute. Phillips looks more like a rowdy DE or DL than LB. Throwback, smash mouth if you ask me. These dudes can hit though.

Throwback is right...all the way back to the Steelers of the 1970's...Lambert-Ham-and one other slow footed white LB...but they surely would knock ur pecker off as hitters...those original Steel Curtain Defenses of the 1970's were the football version of an Oreo cookie...All Blk DL...All White Lbers...all Blk DB's...LOL!

I am of the opinion that far to often FO folks, coaches and medical staff people cop-out and leave the close "can he play or should he sitout" decisions up to the players and most often the desire to play clouds the players decision making as to what is best overall...I'd like to think the non-player folks could have the balls to jusy say no...

That said...I personally think what the Washington Nationals baseball club is choosing to do with that young stud pitcher who is coming off of the tommy john operation is very admirable and short term pain-long term gain-Wise!!!
