"Byron might be done for year"

[Double Barrel]

Thats really tough for them,I also never want to see someones starting QB go down....well except for Joe Montana way back in the Luv Ya Blue days when he played aganist the Oilers in a playoff game at the astrodome....I would have given anything for someone to take him out that day....I knew he would come back and get a win....and he did.

Actually, that was during the "House of Pain" era (not the "Luv Ya Blue").

Montana was playing for the Chiefs, and it was during the Buddy Ryan 46 defense season (when he punched Kevin Gilbride during the last game against the Jets)...this season was the one after the 35-3 debacle (Bills comeback), where the Oilers started the season 1-4, and then went on an 11 game winning streak with an anemic offense but an awesome defense.

Unfortunately, Joe Cool came in and sliced-and-diced that defense up to win the playoff game. It was the nail in the coffin for that Oiler team's era, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Now Byron might not even sit out, he says he might play through the pain. Might turn out to be a bad move. He could get really injured

But even Del Rio's latest report was contradicted Wednesday by Leftwich, who was walking on crutches in the locker room with his left leg in a brace. Leftwich indicated there might be damage to more than one ligament.

Thanks to Dave at houstonprofootball.com for digging it up.

Well is seeing an outside Dr. from AL that is suppose to be tops in the field... Maybe to avoid some of the mistakes of the past...

“Good news reported from the doc. (Leftwich) will not need any type of surgery. He's healing as expected. His approach this week will be to remain in a brace and on crutches until Friday. We will rule him ‘out' for this weekend,” Del Rio told reporters.

“I'm not going to look at the target date. When I'm able to function pain-free, I'll be out there. It's too early to know right now,” Leftwich told reporters. “It's not great news because I'm sure I won't play this week.”

Del Rio, however, made a point of saying he would not risk Leftwich's future for the sake of rushing him back to action. “We're going to do the right thing, the smart thing. We will determine, with his input. We will be sound with our decision-making,” Del Rio said.

Even when the Jags had the best record in the NFL in 1999 they had a hard time saying anything nice about them but then again I think Pete Prisco was still there at the time, if that says anything about the quality of writer they hire,
