Shanahan: Trent Williams a game-time decision
Left tackle Trent Williams will be a game-time decision on Sunday, Coach Mike Shanahan said.
"He felt much better today and made some strides," Shanahan said. "But you really don't know. Forty-eight hours, you get a better feel."
Williams, who missed the team's Week 3 loss at St. Louis, is not pushing off 100 percent yet.
"Probably in the 95-99 percentile," Shanahan said. "So that's why we'll wait and see where he's at in 48 hours."
Shanahan said Williams's knee is feeling better and he's mostly bothered by his toe at this point. Williams has apparently been lobbying the coaches to play Sunday at Philadelphia.
"I used to fall in a trap to believe most of those guys," Shanahan said. "I've got to see with my eyes."
Nose tackle Anthony Bryant, who suffered a concussion a week and a half ago, returned to practice on Friday, but Shanahan said he will not play on Sunday.
Also, punter Josh Bidwell practiced on Friday and said he'll be able to play on Sunday.

I'd sacrifice a win now to have him for the rest of the season.
Just remember Samuels' first couple years... awfully disappointing.

Sit the kid and let him play healthy.
Clay Matthews will soon be in town to show him the other side of the ropes Mario Williams introduced him to.

Clay Mathews blitzes through the middle and right side a lot, it's not likely he'll go up against TW very much.

Of course I have no idea what is really going on with his knee or toe, but I think you gotta play the kid this weekend. This is obviously a HUGE game and if Mike Shanahan say he's around 98% then that means he's healthy enough to go.
It's a small 3 game sample size but we are a vastly different team with him in the lineup. The way we ran in the 1st half of Rams game, I want to see "Rod Lick my Steiger" and Silverback in together.

***Repost, I don't care...choke on it biotch***
Folk with money don't need to tell other people about the property they own, where they live, and the type of cars they drive. As a matter of fact most rich folk I know prefer for random people NOT to know they're wealthy. They like to blend in with the common folk... almost like a facetious secret to them that even though they have money they can be just like John Q. Public.
And any random person couldn't ever figure it out.
Posted by: RedDMV | October 1, 2010 1:48 PM |
I'm not allowed to mention where I live? That small comment burns you so much? Good then. I never mentioned the value of my place(s) or what I drive or any of that. You can't take it when someone makes a geographical reference relative to where thy reside? Dude, you're pathetic and where the F do you get off laying down rules for how people are supposed to comport themselves when you are dooshier than a collision between a water truck and a vinegar tanker.
Stop sweating my ballsack son.
It's unbecoming.
Now, STFU and go get me a cup of coffee and be quick about it.

I agree in theory, but if the kid sits too long McNabb won't be playing healthy. Heyer might as well spear McNabb in the back himself, and save both teams the trouble.

You might be onto something. But alas, few of you have the balls when the moment of truth arrives.
Further, I couldn't care less about the lingering effects or your perceived lack thereof nor do I care whether you find my offerings tasty or not.
All that matters is that you eat 'em up and take the time to ponder, write and post your take on them.

On that note, I wish all the actually decent and thoughtful 'posters' here an awesome weekend.
Red, if you find yourself at the Rudder in Dewey this weekend, look for a broad-shouldered, 6ft something, handsome, bespectacled fellow likely speaking with at least one woman - the beauty of which would make you physically uneasy with yourself. In any event, make yourself known, I'd be happy to buy you a cocktail and introduce you to my cleaning lady.

Dear MadeRED,
I think I guessed it!!! You are a tampon and you were made red by being stuck up your momma's p*ssy during her period!!!! Well, sorry bout your luck, you probably stunk before you were shoved in that loose hole!
I am just a simple monk living in my monastery, so I don't know who this vic is. So why don't you mind your own business jerk-off. I think you remind me of this monk at our Art School. He's kinda gay and always picks the dingles outta his azz, kinda nasty cause he just pulls his robe up too far!
Any who, just suck it and leave me alone, I'm sick of taking people's sh*t up in here!
Sincerely,
Monk

Good to see that I'm not the only one that thinks this fhucking idiot NPI is a piece of lying dog sh*t. Too bad you're mother didn't do the world a favor and pissed you out in the nearest lake after the failed abortion attempt with the rusty clothes hanger, you fhucking puke!
Hey NPI, have fun getting being butt fhucked by your sl*t ass moms, and getting dominated by your faggit ass dad, you fhucking pole smoker.
This ass hole comes up here perpetrating about the money he's got and the cars he drives. When in fact that clown ass fhucker lives at home with mommy, eats all the 2010 snacks, and ties up the phone line -- from his mother's sh*tty ass basement, that he shares with his step baby brother. Newsflash, fhuckboy, a d*ickhead with money, is STILL a d*ckhead.
What a fhucking simpleton you are. When you're finished tossing Daddy's salad and licking his taint, don't forget to wipe the sh*t crumbs form the side of your mouth. Maybe if you'd stop butt raping your sister for a second she could give you hand.
No not for that, for the crumbs on your mouth, I said, you fhucking taintwipe.
Oh, and I'm pretty sure that I pull more women than you pull your own meat, fhuckface. Now go BOOK THAT!
Catch up with ya b*tch ass...

It goes both ways. Take away his 3 yard loss due to a very porous line and he has 47yds on 6 carries, 7.8 yd avg. Looking pretty fine if you ask me.

Right, Stu.
After last game, we can now count on Clinton Portis giving us 6-8 yards a carry from here on out.
Running game fixed.
Clinton Portis will win the rushing title.
Solid stuff, man.

Actually Samuels first couple season were his best. Then gibbs came and he got a little nicked up. Then the last couple season he was struggling with a knee issue. I may be mistaken but he went to the majority of his pro bowls the first half of his career
