Quote:Didn't Roy Miller play through it a year or two ago


Guessing he was trying to see if he could go ... He wasn't great last week so they probably made the call don't do more damage get it repaired be fully healthy for training camp next year

Miller did indeed play with a bum shoulder, but he wasn't nearly as effective because he was playing one-armed.  Odds are the labrum was already the known issue, and it was a matter of pain tolerance.  Anyone watching that game could see he was struggling against New England.  The guy got nailed for 2 holding calls because he was trying to do his job with one good arm. 

 

It sucks that Linder is out, but there's not a whole lot that can be done about it now, and there's no way this can be blamed on a coach despite the fact that some here are trying to do exactly that.  It's time for the young guys they drafted to step up and show their value.  Odds are at least one of them was going to slide into a starting position at some point this year to replace Beadles.  Their time table just got accelerated.
