Davon House: Offseason Surgery!?

Casey Hayward is getting a fantastic opportunity, receiving reps as the starter at cornerback with Shields not taking part and Davon House still recovering from offseason shoulder surgery.

Wtf. Shouldn't he have just gone ahead and done this last preseason!?

And why haven't we heard about this before now?

First I've heard of this too. I really like House's play, and I hope he returns healthy to contribute. Hayward should win the starter opposite Williams. He's that good. Add Micah Hyde to the equation, and I think we will be pretty good at CB. Shields returning almost seems inconsequential, as much as I like his play. Weird. We seem pretty stacked back there, as long as House returns healthy.

It's sounding more and more like Shield's contract is becoming an issue as he has Drew Rosendickhead as his agent.

I commend House for playing through the shoulder injury as best as he could last season. He was looking VERY good in TC prior to his injury. He did win that job. Outright. He was playing so well I thought he might be putting Tramon's job in jeopardy this season.

I've got nothing against Shields, and I hope he returns. That would make this one of the top secondaries in the NFL.

It is frustrating when players wait so long before opting for surgery.

I understand why they do. They hope that they will heal up and not have the down time that always comes post surgery. That said so many times all they end up doing is delaying the inevitable surgery until it cuts into the season. I am sure the input that the team and the medical people give them is a huge part of the whole process but still. I wish they wouldn't wait as long as they do.

I think it was said right after the season ended that he was going to have this done.

Some Packers fans truly over rate Davon House.

Hayward is the man. He will grow by leaps and bounds this year in my opinion. One of my top 5 players to keep an eye on 🙂

You are right. He has shown so little to warrant the amount of praise and respect he's gotten from many fans, myself included. He just seems to have enormous potential. But, so does James Starks... who has oddly enough been more available than Davon House.

House has only played in a total of 9 games in two years.

beast (2m) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (3m) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (4m) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (3h) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (4h) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (4h) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (6h) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (6h) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (6h) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (9h) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (10h) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

beast (18h) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (18h) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (20h) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (20h) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (20h) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (21h) : ohhhhhhh Zero is in TROUBLE

packerfanoutwest (21h) : Zero, per your orders, check Bearshome, not packershome

Zero2Cool (23h) : Then he'll land with another team and flourish.

Zero2Cool (23h) : Ben going to Bears. He'll be out in 3 years.

Mucky Tundra (23h) : what's so funny?

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Mucky Tundra (20-Jan) : Looks like Lions OC Ben Johnson is going to be the Bears coach

Mucky Tundra (20-Jan) : TD but another failed 2 pt conversion!

Mucky Tundra (20-Jan) : Ravens still alive, but barely

Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : Or not...BUT THAT CATCH BY NACUA

Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : WE MAY HAVE BEEN PREMATURE KANATA

TheKanataThrilla (19-Jan) : Time to make dinner

TheKanataThrilla (19-Jan) : Ouch!!!! Dagger for the Eagles

Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : DAGGER

TheKanataThrilla (19-Jan) : pass plays

TheKanataThrilla (19-Jan) : Seems some of their passes are too deep. Reminds me of MLF as well.

Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : Oren Burks with a clutch pass break up...I will now light myself on fire

Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : a run on 2nd down and 17 from McVay? So that's where MLF gets it from!

Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : Do or die time for the Rams

TheKanataThrilla (19-Jan) : Kicking field goals are impressive

Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : Oh that might be a backbreaker

Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : That's what I thought too, just wasn't sure

TheKanataThrilla (19-Jan) : Kicking doesn't make much sense
