Bulaga to play with torn ACL?· Page 2

I want him out there, but I don't want him out there at less than 100%, and I certainly don't want him out there jeopardizing his future health and contributions.

I don't think the Pack rolls that way, I bet they go get him fixed up.

Damn, this one sucks. I loved the moves the Pack made this off-season on that o-line. Let's all just hope that this turn of events does not hose us for the 2013 season.

Maybe we will get lucky with the 4th round pick kid, or whomever. I keep saying, "draft o-linemen"....

Damn.

I would think playing with a torn ACL would put an enormous amount of stress of the other knee ligaments, the hamstring, the quad, and even the ankle. Mankins also eventually tore another ligament in the playoffs, I think. Overall, it would just seem like playing on a torn ACL would result in further injury to the knee, and a longer recovery time which could affect his availability next season. After all, if it's torn, surgery is inevitable anyway, right? If he waits until late in the season, he might not be healthy for training camp next season. Doesn't seem worth it to have a less than 100% Bulaga for this season, in which he probably wouldn't last the whole season anyway.

However like I said before, structure is different from functionality. I personally would encourage him to get the structural integrity set before he plays again, but if a guy like Dr. Andrews clears him, I could give him functionality in the joint.

dfosterf (5h) : I do very much appreciate when Beast and others pick up my slack 😊

dfosterf (5h) : I accept Beast's admonishment regarding my failure to link stuff I reference. I simply never learned to link from my cell phone.

beast (6h) : That's not what your she said 😌, she said keep going 😏

Mucky Tundra (9h) : Anything over 4 hours means he needs to get to the hospital

Mucky Tundra (9h) : Someone might want to check on Hafley and make sure his erection has gone down

Zero2Cool (11h) : LaFleur texts "bleep me I cannot sit down"

Zero2Cool (11h) : YouTube has had me last hour or two lol

Mucky Tundra (11h) : Ugh this trade happened right as my shift started and it's killing me

Zero2Cool (11h) : Parsons wore 23 in high school.

Zero2Cool (11h) : Packers just cost Lions more money with Hutchinson too huh

Zero2Cool (13h) : That is fair by me.

buckeyepackfan (13h) : Kenny Clark is the player, 2 1st rnd picks

Zero2Cool (13h) : umm... what?

wpr (13h) : I am stunned

Mucky Tundra (13h) : RICKEY SCOOPS WAS RIGHT AGAIN!!!

Mucky Tundra (13h) : ITS HAPPENING

buckeyepackfan (13h) : DEAL IS DONE

buckeyepackfan (13h) : MICAH IS COMING TO GREEN BAY!!!!!!!!!

wpr (20h) : Me do-ed it gooderly,

Zero2Cool (28-Aug) : Bahah, I was like WTF why isn't anyone posting on PP.com ... oops no one has permissions

dfosterf (27-Aug) : tell her I reckon

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it
