The Trent Green hit today

mesquite tiger · 09-10-2006, 11:56 AM

it got a "He may be dead" quote out of me just now. He just got lit up, and has not moved since. I hope he is alright - that was a nasty shot and very questionable..........

clair · 09-10-2006, 11:58 AM

the guy was blocked into him...

QBs aren't what they used to be.

I've seen Aikman take far worse shots, and never have to be on the ground for months like this

he was barely pushed from behind. Trent Green was in his slide and the defender should have pulled up as he had a lot of time. No updates on his condition yet...........

Good for Aikman. But hey, instead of feeling worried for Trent Green, let's just call him a wuss. He got lit up and could potentially be seriously injured, no matter how you look at it.

While I hope he isn't hurt, obviously, I won't pretend like he is my best friend, like all of you are doing.

P.S. it was such an ugly, ruthless play, that he wasn't flagged for it...

tirk · 09-10-2006, 12:53 PM

hes conscious and talking but doesnt remember the hit at all. should be ok....eventually.

shoulda been a flag, was pretty brutal. willie roaf come home. hes gonna be the new david carr with this line.

that commercial where bush talks the dude into taking him over lj may have turn out to be smart.

So being concerned for a QB who get's his clock cleaned his all of the sudden being his best friend? No, it's called good sportsmanship. I don't think anyone here is saying it was an ugly, ruthless play, although I do think its pretty cheap for a defender to go for a hit like that as the QB is sliding and will be called down anyway. I only saw a highlight of the play, so if he was blocked into him, then fine, otherwise, I say cheap shot.

Eff Trent Green I'm glad he got hurt, damn guy is nothing like Troy Aikman. If Green was a Cowboy he would've gotten up after that hit, shot laser beams from his eyes, killed the guy who hit him, then would've eaten him, found the guys kids, and eaten them too. After that he would've come back into the game and thrown for 750 yards and 10 TD's. Alas, though, he isn't a cowboy so now he is a pansy and no one should care how badly he is hurt.

clair · 09-10-2006, 02:19 PM

did I not say I hoped he was okay?

What good does it do for us to send our best wishes and say how we hope he will be okay on here?

Will he read this?

I'll remember that the next time you send your best wishes to an LSU player who gets hurt. Regardless of whether he reads it or not (which he won't) there is nothing wrong with expressing a little humanity about his condition.

That hit was hard, but I think the hit last year or year before that KOd Bledsoe as he was heading for the sidelines was a harder hit.

Trent Green is almost 40 years old. It's not like he's from some new generation of soft QBs. And "far worse"...really. I think if anything "far worse" happened to him he would be 6 feet under.

yeah trent green is a class act, a true professional. hard to not like him.

of course, TO runs a close 2nd.

It seems like more head injuries happen from contact with the ground rather than contact with other players. Another player's head will give (flex at the neck) a lot more than the ground will.

It looked to me that Green got the worst impact when his head slammed into the ground.

Which is why his career is over--having never been able to even THINK about playing as long as Trent Green....

Yeah, I mean, like, they should let TO play QB. He has all that talent why, waste it at WR and only let him touch the ball a couple times a game ? Maybe thats why there was all that friction b/w TO and Donovan. Donovan probably thoought that TO might take his job. But I could be wrong.

why the hell are we suddenly picking on TO Owens???????

that is the nickname he has been given here in Dallas since nobody says Terrell when referring to him. Particular listeners of a certain radio station in Dallas also refer to Parcells as "Dwayne" and "The New Jersey Con Man".
