Re: Breaking News: Ed Reed has a Labrum Tear
I knew there had to be a reason. The whole D must have a labrum tear. lol. I've never seen so much poor tackling. Did I miss something? Did Goodell put in a new rule this year where tacklers cannot wrap their arms? Even our LB's can't seem to remember the fundamentals of tackling.

Might inhibit his ability to lateral?

Re: Breaking News: Ed Reed has a Labrum Tear
Maybe he aggravated it hitting DEZ with his
shoulder and bouncing off him instead of wrapping his arms around him and pushing up with his hips like you're suppose to.
Three Ravens hit DEZ like that on 1 play and they all bounced off of him.

Re: Breaking News: Ed Reed has a Labrum Tear
Didn't Mason play through one of those in 2008? I concerned for Reed because he's going to shy away from tackling even more (with good cause) but it's not something that should knock him out.

Re: Breaking News: Ed Reed has a Labrum Tear
I have a partially torn labrum right now (surfing accident) :) anyway, when it happened, i went down hard backwards and extended my arm to brace the fall - I ended up with bruised ribs (which hurt like a bitch for 4 weeks), but as a previous poster said, i didn't even know i had a shoulder (labrum) injury until one day (2 weeks later) i went to throw a football, and i thought my arm detached from the shoulder after i let the ball go- but honestly, it doesn't hurt *at all* with any normal movements. Only overhand throwing motion- when i throw a baseball/football, it hurts like a *mother* whenever i try to throw with any force. The doctor said he didn't recommend surgery for the partial tear- and i specifically told him to treat me like i was "joe flacco"- and asked him what i should do. They advised me to just let it heal- and he said it would be 4-6 months before it healed. I'm almost at month 5, and i still have a lot of pain when trying to throw- but it's definitely lessening.
So bottom line- I can do just about anything with my upper body (lift weights, throw a lacrosse ball, swing a bat) with ZERO pain, but I just can't throw a ball- It wouldn't hinder me at all if i had to make tackles, or even reach up high in the air to grab passes. I suspect Ed has this same type of injury, and as long as they don't ask him to be QB, he'll be fine.
