Guest Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 So just to put an exclamation point to this, it is now being reported that J. Abraham has a torn groin muscle and is out for the year now. So predictable! 1 1/2 games for the Falcons this year....not a bad investment for the draft pick we got!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 So now it's not Mangold for Abraham (as some stupidly simplified it as being). It's Mangold + $40M in cap space that we can use on a different high-priced, pro-bowl-caliber FA for absolutely nothing in '06 and likely lots of the same, sprinkled with a some decent games, over the next 5 years beyond that. All but a few here saw it coming & saw Abe for what he is: a fantastically talented player who is totally unreliable & WAY over-priced, and therefore is not a building block of a championship team.

I still can't believe they gave us the 29th pick-the top center coming out of college football for John Abraham.While I still won't say "good the Falcons deserved it" because I never applaud an injury... anymore anyway...

Mangold has been doing an outstanding job all year long. Not very easy for a rookie to step into the starting center position. He's going to be a very good one.

D'Brickashaw Ferguson too-it was a damn good start to this regime as far as drafting goes-we're getting some good production out of our rookies...how many other teams have 6 guys making pretty major contributions from their rookies?

KSJets Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 D'Brick Mangold Washington Smith Who are the other two making "major contributions" this year? Drew Coleman has started the last two games at CB and Eric Smith has played a bunch on ST and safety in the dime. The 7th rounder is still on the PS, Schlegel's been inactive, and Clemens is holding the clipboard so that has to be the other two he was referring to.

The injury is related to, but not solely linked to, a groin injury that has sidelined Abraham for four of Atlanta's six games, according to coach Jim Mora.

jetophile Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Halloween is coming. Is this 'Ring and Run'? Heh, seriously, I don't EVER like to see anyone hurt. It's a horrible sentiment. That being said, something like this is just another intangible indicator that our inner mojo has indeed changed. As in you-just-can't-script-it is somebody else's bad luck. As in NOT the same old Jets. Nope. Not. The worm has definitely turned for us, man. Get well soon, Johnny Glass Abs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
