Listening to 105.7 the Fan, Vinny and Rob said they got word that Haloti will get knee surgery right after the SB. I know he's being playing banged up, but do we really want everyone knowing this information? Doesn't seem smart to relay this especially coming from a BALTIMORE station.
Probably just a scope/clean up.
If it were a real bad injury that needed surgery, he probably wouldn't be playing.
So is Justin Smith... no worries. This game is not going to come down to little bits of info like this. They know Ngata has a banged up knee... all you have to do is watch tape from the season. It's going to come down to who makes plays on the field.Quote:

A little bit ot. Justin Smith said he's at risk of tearing his triceps completely by playing.Quote:

If he's still better (at a reduced state) than the guy behind him then you have to go. All or nothing at this point.Quote:

I wasn't saying he shouldn't play. Just saying he's at risk of completely tearing it.Quote:

no prob. ;) I'm just shootin' the shit.Quote:
