Darnell Dockett possible torn ACL

[kalibane]

Big blow for the Cardinals if the MRI confirms. The middle of their defense will be vaporized.

This really sucks. Friend confirmed via text. That D had a lot of potential with Washington and Docket in the front 7. Now both are gone. But I really do not know their reserves so I will not write them off. Plus, their O has some serious potential with Gitz, Floyd, potential of Brown and Arian's comments regarding the emphasis on getting the ball into Ellington's hands. I hate to see injuries to important cogs on any team.

Didn't one of their best LBs (Dansby) leave in FA this year?
If so, their Defense might struggle somewhat unless they have some good players of depth nobody knows about.

Injuries suck... it doesn't matter that they are the 'enemy', I want have my best and play against their best each time. That's 3 of their best D's off that really good D from last year -- one FA, one suspended and one torn ACL.

That guy is a beast and the heartbeat of that defense. Hes been hard on the Seahawks. On a personal level you hate to see it happen. It will definitely hurt AZ.

[HumanCockroach]

Have absolutely hated the guy ever since his "throat shot" on Hassellbeck way back when, but I Never root for an injury to a player regardless of team, talent or dislike. To bad, I'm starting to think that if that offense hasn't improved by leaps and bounds they not the Rams will be at the bottom of the heap come the end of December. Pieces of a truly upper tier D are dropping off like flies.

[NorthHawk]

Didn't he also throw Okung to the ground behind the play that caused a torn Pec?

[HumanCockroach]

Nah that was the Eagles guy, not sure what his name is, but I do remember him being taken to the wood shed, and get pissed off about it, and using some crappy judo move ( also remember Kam getting fined more severely from the game previously against the Rams for making a football play, while this guy intentionally pulled a throw on Okung that took the rest of the season, something piddly like 3500 bucks or something )

[FolkCrusader]

You guys are thinking of Trent Cole.

Yep kept wanting to say Coleman for some reason, and knew that wasn't right. Bastaaad LOL.

( to clarify that is directed at Cole not you LOL, thanks I couldn't remember the dudes name for the life of me)

Bad news.

Even fully stocked, though, the hunch here is that the Cards would not have improved on a 10-6 mark from a year ago.

[Hawk Sista]

That's a bummer. Torn ACL/MCL.

[PasadenaHawk]

Considering his age, he may not see the field again.
