CaptainHook Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 No link, but I heard on the radio he is on crutches. Of course, New England has not been forthcoming with the nature or severity of his injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever in debt to mo lewis Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 yeah hes on crutches...hes in a boot...same ole same ole kinda funny though...some guy on the espn patriots board was questioning whether or not belichick had "changed" and let "success go to his head" because he got snippy at todays press conference when asked about lights injury(pretty sure he was a board regular and pats fan). hes not going to give out the info..basically hes telling you not to ask..hes going to tell you that someone has not practiced and thats about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grogansghost Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 How much of an edge does it give the Patriot's in not being forthcoming about their players injuries? While it's annoying, I always wonder why more coaches don't take the "confuse or stonewall" the press approach of the Pats and Broncos.

msaint Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 How come I picture you giggling like a schoolgirl while typing this post, Hook? No one would revel in the injury of a Patriot -- any Patriot -- as much as you. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to my "Jeff Saturday is still hurt" post...

msaint Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 'lotta good it did us last year. . . 945311[/snapback] True. Funny thing is, if the Colts were not always playing the Pats to get to the SB, I'd be pulling for them to finally make it. A team that good deserves to be in the big one. I'd certainly rather see them in the SB than the Steelers... (Cue Menudo's angry poetic response....)

Sam Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Who's Light's back up if he's out for a significant amount of time? Does this do anything to Dillon or Brady's value? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why give your next opponent good information? 945117[/snapback] Because a lot of coaches are egomaniacs who think that because they are a head coach in the NFL, they deserve as much face time in the media as possible. Saying "no comment" will make the cameras go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charty Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Who's Light's back up if he's out for a significant amount of time? Does this do anything to Dillon or Brady's value? 945398[/snapback] From the boston herald.... If Light is out for an extended period of time, Tom Ashworth would move from right tackle to the left side. Another option would be moving rookie guard Logan Mankins to tackle, where he played in college. The thinking I heard was to protect Brady's backside, moving Ashworth to left and having someone else fill in at right tackle would be the option.

Bill Swerski Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I write a poem and don't get one homo or momo comment ? What has happened to this place 947308[/snapback] Shut up, homo! As an aside, I saw Light's family walking through the Indy airport on the way back from the SB in February. I'm assuming it was his family, as I've never seen anyone wear a Matt Light Pats jersey... and he did go to Purdue, so it wouldn't surpise me if they're from the area. Not sure why I shared that story. Guess it means I'm bored today... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finger Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Speaking of family, Matt's father broke the code and advised the local papers the injury isn't serious. He's off Bill's Christmas list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if Indy is the easiest place to fly out of for where they are from, but Superbowl weekend, you take what you can get....... Tackle Matt Light was again nowhere to be seen at Gillette Stadium, as he was presumably receiving treatment on an injured lower leg that team sources said had him wearing a boot and walking with the aid of crutches on Monday. Light's father, Bill, told the Dayton (Ohio) Daily News that his son hasn't suffered a major injury. Light grew up in Greenville, Ohio, 40 miles northwest of Dayton. ''The only thing I can tell you is that it's really not serious," Bill Light said. ''He'll probably miss a preseason game or something, but other than that, it's fine. The reason they don't release [injury information] is because that becomes an instant target." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
