Rod Smith tweaks Hammy

[Rascal]

http://cbs4denver.com/broncos/local_story_214135928.html

Broncos wide receiver Rod Smith suffered what was portrayed as a minor hamstring injury during Wednesday morning's training camp practice at Dove Valley, CBS4 Broncos Insider Reggie Rivers reported.

The injury happened during an offense-on-defense scrimmage. Jake Plummer was throwing to Smith as he broke across the middle on a deep cross. The problem was Plummer threw the ball to the outside as if he'd expected Smith to run a corner route.

It appeared to be a miscommunication, but then Smith pulled up a little bit. He didn't grab his hamstring, but did walk off the field gingerly.

Smith sat out the rest of practice, but he didn't have ice on his leg and the trainers didn't take him inside for immediate treatment.

After practice, head coach Mike Shanahan confirmed that Smith had injured his hamstring. He said Smith was held out of the remainder of the drills as a precaution. Shanahan doesn't anticipate that Smith will be out for long.

[barters]

That was pretty sketchy, next time can you put Rod Smith injured not very seriously? ;)

[Rohirrim]

GEEZ! Don't do that! Put "Rod Smith Tweaks Hammy" or something. "Injured" means "Might miss games."

[Steve Sewell]

My stomach turned when I saw the thread title...

In the name of all that's holy, next time please qualify "injured" a little better in your thread title, mmmmmk? Thanks.

[Steve Sewell]

"insider" Reggie Rivers. I think I have a new Adopt-a-Bronco!

[Jason in LA]

Yeah, a title change is inorder.

Hopefully this isn't like Champ's hamstring injury last year. Yeah, he played through it, but he wasn't up to speed until mid season.

The problem was Plummer threw the ball to the outside as if he'd expected Smith to run a corner route.

Hmmmm... anybody care to wager on which player had the correct route?

[Arkansas Bronco]

Not funny Rascal.

Dear god you scared the sh*t out of me.

Whichever one Shanny didn't yell at :)

I'm throwing down some Neg rep if you don't fix the thread title.:holyguac!;D

BTW..Rascal....I heard some dandy lions are popping up in the north endzoneHa! .

Damn it Rod......

this and the heat wave we're gettin are a dangerous combo

[Bob's your Information Minister]

Not good...that could nag for awhile.

[Victor]

We should trade for Ashley Lelie.

[OrangeShadow]

yeah hammys are definatley a tricky injury and nothing to fool around with

[epicSocialism4tw]

Uh oh, now it's Plummer's fault that Rod Smith has old-man-hamstrings. Goodness.

Jay C, if you are out there, be prepared because the minute that you throw an interception the Broncannibals are going to start preparing your sauce.

[El Guapo]

you should be banned for that subject. haha

[epicSocialism4tw]

Not good...that could nag for awhile.

Yeah, those hamstring injuries just dont go away. Having an 80-90% Rod Smith isn't encouraging at all considering his age, but one thing is for sure. Any version of Rod Smith is better than anything that the Chefs can put on the field.

[Meck77]

Uh oh, now it's Plummer's fault that Rod Smith has old-man-hamstrings. Goodness.

.

Actually it was Griese's. It's plummer's fault the weather has been so hot.

[Pezman]

Eeek! For a moment there, my heart sank and I expected to hear the worst. Lets hope he can rest up and be ready for week one. I would think by now, he could get a free pass for the preseason anyway.

[bronco militia]

Actually it was Griese's. It's plummer's fault the weather has been so hot.

damn, where's Trevor Pryce when you need him :giggle:

Nope. Just having a little fun because of the way the article is written. No need to get overly dramatic.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

Why did you bring up the Chiefs? This is a thread about Rod Smith.

[Hotrod]

Last warning Rascal I'll ban you if you pull that crap one more time. Your on thin ice mister funny pants

[epicSocialism4tw]

Actually it was Griese's. It's plummer's fault the weather has been so hot.

I should have known.

I guess that it's been Greise's fault that the defense couldnt get any sacks over the past couple of seasons too.

[eddie mac]

Get off your knees Bob.:~ohyah!:

I was commenting on the article. No need to make inference where there is none to make.

[Master___Pain]

That's better than saying "Stay down B!tch" like last time.

[Mile High Shack]

booooo thread title

yeaahhhh beer

[smalltowngrll]

Talk about sending me out the roof at work!! Sheesh, everyone in the office wanted to know why I was screaming...."NOOOOOOO!!!" I had to explain myself!

I'm glad it's not a serious injury!!

[mattleecrew]

As much as I hate to see Rod hurt, the man knows his job and we know what to expect from him when the season starts. Lets focus on the flip side. This will mean that many more reps for Marshall, Terrell, Kircus, etc... as they work to round out this receiving corp.

[ant1999e]

It took the page awhile to load. I was chitting my pants waiting.

I didn't read any part of the article remotely saying anything about Rod's hammy pull was Jake's fault. Let alone making the jump to Cutler. But then as you say "No need to make inference where there is none to make."

:thumbs:

LOL!!

Get off your knees Bob.:~ohyah!:

Did he swallow?

[ROYC75]

Naw, no big deal, Ashley wants to be # 1 anyways, just plug him in.

[BABronco]

Bob.. you are crazy. He clearly mentioned the Chefs. Wait a minute who in the hell are the chefs?

That hasnt stopped you from forcing Brodie Croyle into the conversation whenever we have a thread about Cutler.

[cascade_bronco]

that was a scary moment. i thought i was going to need an oxygen tank. well atleast it isnt anything major.

[usedupbraids]

I'm glad it's not a serious injury we need Rod Smith plus Javon needs to learn more from rod

[Bob's your Information Minister]

I haven't soiled a Jay Cutler thread in ages, and there's been dozens. You are wrong, sir!

Subtle, yes. The inclusion of blame is there nonetheless:

"The injury happened during an offense-on-defense scrimmage. Jake Plummer was throwing to Smith as he broke across the middle on a deep cross. The problem was Plummer threw the ball to the outside as if he'd expected Smith to run a corner route.

If he was simply covering a Rod Smith injury he would have said that Smith injured himself by trying to catch a pass. Instead, it reads with spin on unneccessary information.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

Good old Plummer.

[Garcia Bronco]

Is that all....Rod will be fine

[Hulamau]

I wouldnt practice or play Rod until the last week of preseason before the last home preseason game. Just have him stay in shape and act as a player/coach on the sidelines schooling the other WR, then the last two weeks of practice before the opener and the last preseason game will be plenty of time for him to tune up with Plummer and by doing so make damn sure his Hammy is 100%.

Rod and Plummer know each other in their sleep. Let the other guys get more reps the next three weeks and the first 3 preseason games while Rod earns a good rest but stays in top shape.

[cutthemdown]

you dont like to hear anything about an older player like Rod Smith. Hopefully it's minor.

[Tredici]

I guess it's all in how you want to take the inference. If it would've said the problem was Rod Smith was to go across the middle on a deep cross towards the post and Plummer through the ball to outside, I'd say there was a spin to blame Jake.

Since the actual route wasn't clarified I just took it as a description of what happened. Jake went out, Rod went in. No blame placed on either. That's the way I took it anyway.

At his age injuries make a dramatic difference. They take time to heal, linger and affect play. This is the reason I argued during the off-season that KC's OL was in trouble (the injuries creeped last yr), but the KC fanboys (I don't think there are any fangirls) in this forum were too busy praying at the altar to notice. Hopefully the injury is really minor. If it is anything like Champ's last yr, then his route options will be fairly limited.

Not at all like Champ's situation. Champ never took the time to heal, Rod has over a month before we need him. Enuff said.

If anyone has a chefs planet account I'd be willing to bet as soon as BOOOB say this thread he posted one celebrating at chefs planet??? Anytakers

[Man-Goblin]

Sit him for the rest of pre-season. I'm just sayin.

[Rascal]

Boo!!!!

Who changed the thread title!!!!

[NOLA Bronco]

We should trade for Ashley Lelie.

Kinda like you, huh?

Stay down, bitch.

Mr. Jackass Boob and his Chefeteers over on the planet are showing what a class act fan base they have, cheering Rod's injury on and even admitting to cheering for Eddie's broken leg. Wow, just wonderful.

Funny because in another thread Bob went all holier than though when about someone wishing injury on a Chief fan.

Rausch is my favorite Chief poster and he continued to show why in that thread.

[wabbit]

I do worry some about this injury. While Shanahan initially downplayed it as a 'tweak', he did go on to say he wasn't sure yet how serious it is.

What concerns me a little more is that Rod, always the optimist, refused to talk with reporters after practice.

Well, if it had to happen, now is better timing than a week or so before the regular season I suppose.

It's just that these damnable hamstring things always seem to linger forever...depending on the severity of course.

yup crap planet at its best.

[Bronco Billy]

Definitely. I just hope it isn't something that going to nag him throughout the season like Bailey last year. Though, Bailey still had a great year.

[Rascal]

Whoever was the jackass that changed the thread title might want to reconsider that. Fact is it is an injury and looks to be more then just a tweek. This is more serious then you guys think it is.

http://www.denverpost.com/ci_4128776?source=rss

"Rod is smart to know that with a hamstring, there is nothing you can do about it except rest it, and we might have to get him an extra day. Instead of being two days up, it might have to be three. I really don't know how bad it is," Shanahan said. "(Broncos trainer Steve Antonopulos) said it was just a tweak, but it could be a little more serious than that. I don't think it will be too long, knowing Rod."

On the front page of denverbroncos.com is Shannahan's day 7 press conference. He said it will be a couple of precautionary days, and he is not concerned at all.

[Amigo]

OMG a tweaked hammy. Smith is old.. He is so old. Old, old, old, old, old... He is so old.

Now that stuff gets old. Ha!

[Odysseus]

Rausch makes some great points and actually has some great takes both pro and con. Naptown is getting more objective. Some of those guys have just lost their collective minds.

Rod's not talking to the press? Interesting.

[ksBRONCOfan]

OMG a tweaked hammy. Smith is old.. He is so old. Old, old, old, old, old... He is so old.

Now that stuff gets old. Ha!
Watch it there Amigo...tsk tsk

[Popps]

Uh oh, now it's Plummer's fault that Rod Smith has old-man-hamstrings. Goodness.

Jay C, if you are out there, be prepared because the minute that you throw an interception the Broncannibals are going to start preparing your sauce.

Yea, it's weird to think that a player would make a mistake in training camp, huh? I'm sure Rod has never made a mistake, though.

Dude, people get their mind set on something and no amount of factual information is going to dissuade them.

Of all the QBs that played in all 16 games in 2005, who threw the least interceptions?

A. Jake Plummer
B. Peyton Manning
C. Trent Green
D. Matt Hassellbeck

Any guesses?

[Popps]

As for Rod, if he tweaked a hammy... sit his ass down until the season starts. We can't mess around with him. He's the difference between our offense being frightening and about the same as we were last year. (Which was damned good.)

Having both Javon and Rod out there is the key.
