Teddy Troubles

Post by bleedspeed »

Didn't playagainst the SeaChickens. Didn't practice yesterday. I am starting to wonder if they are covering something up with him. Worried this is a Sullivan situation all over again.

I doubt it. If the guy is sore or hurting a bit this is the time to give him a rest to make sure he is ready to roll. Besides it doesn't hurt to see what your backups really have. Is Hill too old? Is Stave worthwhile (looks the part physically)? Do they need to look at other options? It's a shame Taylor H. Jacked up his foot.

Monster - I hope you are right. This season would go south fast without him.

Update - Teddy Bridgewater is practicing for the Vikings on Tuesday, after sitting out last Thursday's game against the Seahawks with a sore shoulder. Bridgewater, who didn't throw a pass on Saturday or Sunday, has mostly stuck to checkdowns and throws over the middle.

Anyone else wonder if Teddy put to much stress on his arm throwing deep balls?

He is a QB he is supposed to throw the ball. Did he overdo it? Maybe. Did he high 5 someone awkwardly? Did he sleep wrong on it one night? Do I have some concerns? Yeah but I don't really know the real source of them because nobody is telling us what is going on. I stick to being slightly worried but generally optimistic this is no big deal. That's where I am at.

That was my first thought! It's an obvious weakness for Teddy and I wouldn't be surprised if in trying to do better his form suffered and resulted in an injury.
