Sperm Edwards Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 http://www.ajc.com/falcons/content/sports/falcons/stories/2006/09/29/0930falnotes.html Abraham unlikely to play vs. Cards By STEVE WYCHE The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Published on: 09/30/06 Flowery Branch — Falcons defensive end John Abraham did not practice again Friday, and though he is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Arizona at the Georgia Dome, signals are he won't play again until the Oct. 15 home game against the New York Giants. Week 1 - had a VERY good game Week 2 - did not play Week 3 - did not play Week 4 - will not play Week 5 - bye Week 6-17 - ??? So basically, Abraham will play his 2nd game in week 6. Well that certainly sounds like he's worth every penny of that money Atlanta gave him (along with a reasonably-priced first round draft pick to boot). The contract we did NOT give him: $45M over 6 years $13.5M signing bonus $19.5M over the first two years then a base salary of $6M over the next four years. What a rip-off. No doubt Abe will have some great games over the next 6 years. But in between his sacks (and it's not like he's getting 16-18 sacks/yr anyway) he was a liability on running plays. All we got was a franchise center (or so we think thus far) & we're 2-1 through his first 3 games, the worst part of his growing pains. And this is while the only decent veteran on the entire line was mostly not playing. And said center's contract is like $7.5M over 5 years. We totally dodged a bullet on this one.

HuRRiCaNe ViLMa Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Agreed. His high contract demands, bad attidtude, and injury-prone body made him expendable. He is a defensive playmaker, but only when he is on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greensince69 Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Your istance on Chad getting hurt sounds more like sour grapes. Phil Simms seems to have had a pretty damm good carrer after being bet up a few times. Past injury does not guarentee future injury. I am convinced last years was do to being rushed back by uncle hermy and had he sat out he first half of the season and rehabbed he would have been al right.

What a rip-off. John Abraham has yet to need surgery for any of his injuries. Show me one other player in the NFL who has missed as many games, that didn't have surgery.

I'm glad that we didn't give him the contract now and made that trade; I wasn't too pleased with it initally because of the playmaker he is, but I guess some things never change as far as injury-prone players go. Of course, you won't hear ESPN praise us for this move; they were all ready to bash us for getting so "little" in return for him and saying it was a bad move, but it's now quiet that he is injured. Hypocrites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you didn't get banned (assuming its their official board)? I went there after they gave Vick the ridiculous contract and made a thread asking if maybe it was a bit ignorant to give him that, just to have my thread locked and me banned with a message that said "Vick bashers are not welcome here."

It's always an ambiguous injury. And it's always an injury that arbitrarily heals. Some players, a "groin pull" makes them miss practice but they still play on Sunday. Other players, like John Abraham- they miss half the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serphnx Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Man all the other sites ban for anything even potentially negative. Jets fans are the only football fans that are actually brave enough to listen to other team's fans criticize us, and we debate with them. I think that's why so many other teams fans like our boards better than their own. People like tx and quickvik are just closet jets fans. They should come out already and admit they love us.
