Pierce to have season ending surgery

[tsylvester]

Ouch, I was looking forward to him having a career year here, he seemed rejuvenated, such a shame for him.

Yet another season ending injury for this team. As the old saying goes, next man up. Maybe Copeland will be able to exploit his single blocker and make a name for him self, become a beast

We are seeing the same type of injuries as last yr.  

[tsylvester]

They are common injuries, training (new trainer) can only do so much. Shoot, I just strained my calf and quad doing jumping jacks..Jack's... sucks getting old sometimes.

Teams don't average over 1 season ending injury a game.  We are.

Look closer that the league, they do....

Tgen the ravens have been remarkably healthy for a very long time.  Other tg an last yr I can't think of a time we averaged a season ending injury per game.

[tsylvester]

10 years ago, players played through pain, even torn bicep muscles, they pushed off until the end of the season.

Today, they look more toward their future, maybe even say the heck with it, knowing they are getting their money.

The league, how accurate this site is, teams are averaging 5 or more to ir so far this season

Look at the dates.  Many of them are guys comi bg in with injuries or hurt during camp.  That first week of Sept and earlier are not from games.  

But the titans are getting killed out there.  Most teams are not close to the ravens
