Well, we won the game.

If we were playing a MWC team and lost, people would be just as mad at Taysom/Bronco about the whole situation.

Honestly, I'm not mad at Riley about the situation. His number was called and he was told that he was needed. I'm mad at the coaches and staff that called his number.

I was surprised by the Taysom tidbit regarding his injury last year

This is totally different from RN

Also, RN's injury wasn't a huge deal eaither.......

Painful, but not dangerous. His ribs, lung & shoulder were more debilitating.

It's probably fair to note, however, that RN's own father (who is a Doctor) determined

It always seemed really suspect to me, too, but I'm not a doctor so I don't know.

Also different is Taysom came out when he was ineffective and unable to go. Also

At least with Taysom, it doesn't sound like safety was an issue.

6/30/16 11:49am

And once he became a liability on the field they pulled him and put in Tanner

Taysom's injury could not get medically worse.

You bring up a valid point. Taysom doesn't get called selfish for continuing to

I doubt the injury had anything to do with the pick

I thought it was an LB, and the route wasn't exactly jumped. Taysom tossed the

It was the safety; he pretended to bite on the PA, then dropped back quickly

Coop

6/30/16 12:36pm

He was still way out of position to make a play had it been a better pass.

No, no, no, no

Agree to disagree.

I didn't mention Riley at all. Perhaps you're a little sensitive.

You replied to a post that did mention Riley comparing his injury with Taysom's

It's been part of Staley's questions as well

6/30/16 11:50am

Staley just sounds bitter. Takes no blame for his own decisions.

Yet he backs it up with specific examples

I don't fault Nelson for playing hurt.

I would say if a guy wants to play and will not make the injury worse, who is

I fault the coaches for EVER playing him in the first place.

RichieRich

Players on the team at the time would tell you he earned it in practice.

6/30/16 12:14pm

I agree. They never ask "Are you injured?" its always "Can you go?"

6/30/16 11:58am

Exactly. You should never fault a player for wanting to compete

Taysom and everyone else thought he could still contribute.

Did Taysom lie to the coaches about the severity of his injury?

With the lis franc it's unlikely to get worse
