Alexander injury

[8timechamps]

Did anyone hear anything after the game? Looked really bad at first, but he seemed a little better on his way off the field. We really can't afford to lose our other stud d-end going into next week.

With a shoulder there is no telling. It doesn't seem the amount of pain in shoulder injuries is really isn't a good indicator of how serious the problem is and he did look to be in some pain. You are correct, Frank Alexander could be the most valuable man on the field next week. If Weeden is comfortable he is deadly.

He seemed fine after the game. He was talking to fans and laughing.

Jackie Shipp said on the post game show Frank is fine. He also made it sound like Ronell is at least questionable for next week which is good.

Would be nice to have the Hammer back for next week

Yep, need to rough Weeden up....in a sportsmanlike kind of way.

Whew, good to hear he's okay. At this point, I think he is the key to us being able to slow down OSU. Weeden has shown the inability to deal with pressure, and we'll need a lot of it.

"Got a pinched nerve. Kind of feel it had popped out of place a little bit. I have to take it slow and get treatment on it and stuff."

In a "SOMEONE GET A RAPE KIT!" sort of way.

That's what I figured from watching it and that is not good news. If the joint pops out a bit, it can repeat pretty easily. If we are missing Alexander and R. Lewis, we could send old man Weeden to NYC :(

We need this man on saturday or it could get ugly. We'll need the D to win this one for us.

I don't see a guy like the hammer missing a game against oSu because he is questionable. I'm pretty sure it would take a body cast to stop him.

[AlbqSooner]

When I worked in hospitals many years ago we had a kid who was in a body cast due to surgery to correct some congenital spine issues. After a bit, the Orthopedic guys mounted a skate board to the chest and stomach of his cast. He would fly all over the pediatric ward using his hands for propulsion.

If Hammer is in a body cast, maybe someone can mention this to the trainers.

We are in trouble then :)
