jditty47 Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 My friend told me that he saw an article where Lenny P, the writer from ESPN, stated that marvin is shopping perry but they are trying to keep it on the DL so that the media doesnt find out and blow it out of proportion. Can someone find that article and post the snippet if they find it? In my opinion, i hope this is not true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschooler Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 It was a "page 2" article on espn ...from some moron about Big 10 RB`sbeing "busts"...Not every single Big Ten running back taken in the first round has been a flop. Eddie George was a star for five years with the Titans and then an average starter for three more after breaking down due to a 400-carry workload in 2000.But the other nine Big Ten backs in the chart have only two 1,000-yard seasons among them: Michael Bennett in 2002 and Tyrone Wheatley in 2000. Carter and Tim Biakabutuka never put it together because of injuries. But Enis and Dayne didn't get injured; they were just lousy. The recent picks just continue the trend. Cincinnati is already trying to trade Perry, the Chiefs were trying to trade Johnson until they finally let him play a little at the end of last year, and T.J. Duckett and Bennett have gotten stuck in running back committees because they are always getting hurt.http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story...e=schatz/050405I think he just said that to add to his arguement.

HoosierCat Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 (edited) It wasn't Lenny, it was a page 2 column, I ran across it a few days ago. Guy was comparing Pac10 and SEC RBs, I think, and makes passing, unsupported and as far as I can tell completely speculative reference to the trade idea. I'll see if I can find the piece.Edit: see oldschooler's post above for link. Edited April 9, 2005 by JoiseyCat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
not-another Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Perry is a joke. He hasnt proved anything, just that he is really accident prone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeyondTheJungle Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 what does getting two sports hernias have to do with being accident-prone? perry had an unlucky rookie season, but so what? carson palmer didn't even take a snap during his first year. i think it's too early to judge perry. just look at what backs like larry johnson and julius jones did last year. there's no reason perry can't do the same when called upon. and there's little reason to trade him because he only costs about $1mm against the cap.

Yes, my dear Watson that is accident prone. If it was one, i'd be like "wow a unlucky rookie season" but two in one season, accident prone RB.

You don't "accidentally" get a sports hernia.Chad Johnson had injury problems his rookie season, is he a f**k up? I dont think half of you all know what accident prone means. I bet you all live in Cleveburg, but i'm nice person so i'm going to define accident prone. ac·ci·dent-prone ( ak ' si-d?nt-pron ' ) adj. Having or susceptible to having a greater than average number of accidents or mishaps.It's not like he accidentally tripped over himself and caused a hernia, it just happened.My dad didn't "accidentally" get a hernia, my mom didn't "accidentally" get cancer, my grandpa didn't "accidentally" get alzheimers disease. And they sure as hell didn't plan them either.Let me explain this to you. When I say accident, i'm not refering to the word "accidentally" i'm refering to a "accident" as in injury. And prone means "more likely, increased". I think you should just stop posting abou this Bengalsone, you dont know what your talking about.Okay, now. Do you all understand now? Did you all raise your IQ a few points too? I didn't say Perry was a total f**k up, I just said he was a joke (big difference there ), and he hasnt proven much from the time on the field. Now please dont leave a stupid post, that after reading I will suffer braincell loss. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. calling Own stupid because he was making a point about Perry makes you look about the same...Is Perry accident prone? In the football world I'd say no.. Accident prone in the football world is someone that is injured year after year...ie Steve McNair..Perry sustained two hernias and missed one year...Alot of players have injuries and miss a season.. they arent accident prone....Now about him being a joke....the definition of joke is something to evoke laughter or amusement... Did you find his injuries to be amusing? Did you laugh about him hurting himself?? Yeah it was quite hilarious wasnt it....Before you belittle someone about semantics maybe you ought to get your own house in order first.....Or maybe you have allready suffered braincell loss huh?

HairOnFire Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 In unrelated news, I'm sure all of us have read about Perry changing his uniform number from 26 to 23. Sadly, I doubt it'll help as somebody is bound to recognize him no matter how hard he tries to hide. [[[Rimshot]]] Thank you. Thank you very much.

jditty47 Posted April 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 um, once you get an injury, you are more likely to reaggrevate it than someone else getting one to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybren Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 It's too early to judge Chris Perry one way or the other. Sucks that he missed a chance to make a good first impression, but that doesn't mean he's a wash-up or a joke. But at the same time it also makes him impossible to trade, IMHO. Also, my 2 cents on the whole "accident prone" debate...dictionary definitions don't amount to much in sports. I mean, only on the sports page could you be considered a 'warrior' for showing up everyday and trying your best. Or called 'courageous' for coming back from an injury a week before the doctor recommends. Personally, if I were to hear an athlete referred to as 'accident prone', I would expect that he has had at least two or three different injuries that were avoidable. I'm no doctor, but I doubt sports hernias are avoidable, except maybe by being in good shape and taking care of your body (remember when Chad Johnson's cramps were attributed to his poor diet?). I have yet to hear anybody suggest that Perry facilitated his injury in any way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he has any problem at all, it would be that he's possibly "too fragile." I don't know first hand on this, but I would suspect that they hit a whole lot harder on the average in the pro's than on the college level.Then again, didn't his injury happen during practice?
