Carpenter limps off practice field

[FlyingGreg]

Information only...Chicken Little's stay in your cage:

Carpenter left the field midway through Monday's practice, walking alongside a trainer. Now, that doesn't mean it's time to panic. This is training camp, after all, and players get bumped and bruised all the time, but this is also Carpenter, which makes it something worth monitoring.

Not a hater, but this is starting to look bad. Remember, he's not recovering from an ACL surgery. He's recovering from arthroscopic surgery. With most people, that's outpatient.

Sadly, it's starting to look chronic. No one wanted Carp to go in there and dominate more than me, I've said on several occasions I feel we're average at Guard and above average/good at RT.

 

[Bigpumpkin]

Definitely a bad omen if he is unable to play in any Pre-season games. I am "almost" ready to "stick a fork in him".

If Carpenter really is hurt and misses time, I don't think I'd label him a bust yet. However, if he's hurt, misses time, and Alvin Bailey continues to look highly impressive and ends up the starting LG, then yeah. Nowhere to put Carp = regretting that pick.

The good news is, we have an embarrassment of riches with interior linemen right now, so I'm not the slightest bit concerned either way. Even if Bailey isn't legit, McQuistan is a league average starter, Moffitt is not far below McQuistan's level, and Rishaw Johnson has a very similar skillset (run blocking mauler, suspect pass pro) to Carp.

If the young backups look really good and Seattle has a roster crunch on their hands at OL, it won't take much for Carpenter to land on the PUP again.

Just hoping this bus doesn't head down the road towards Marcus Tubbsville.

LOL...That actually made me laugh.

 

[VHawk]

Tubbs was the first thing that came to mind when I seen this story earlier.The show must go on however.

Because you know this will slowly devolve into hate and discontent.

Truuuuuuu dat.

Nature abhors a void, and it also abhors a football program drafting *too* well. We had to offer Carpenter up in order to get our 2012 draft.

I don't believe he'd be eligible for PUP if he practised at all, would he?

Nope, unless they were placed on PUP initially.

I am not even gonna say it.

Truuuuuuu dat.

I see what you did there.

 

[AROS]

Truuuuuuu dat.

I see what you did there.

Yes.

I will trust our excellent FO to make a decision on Carp's future. Whatever they come up with, I believe we be the right choice. Typically (about now) I'd be bitching about the guy taking up a roster spot just because of his lofty spot taken in the draft. I don't worry about this with PC and JS. If he's looking like dead weight, he will be asked to turn in his playbook. Of this I am confident. No free rides on this team. Go Hawks.

 

[hoxrox]

Hope it's nothing major. Carpenter is a mauler when healthy. Can't really say the same about his back ups.

 

[Tech Worlds]

Carp is carrying too much weight for his knees. He will always have knee issues when he is that heavy.

Plain and simple he needs to lose weight.

Can't be PUPed until the first day of TC next year. Could be place on recallable IR.
