BOB SANDERS injured again..

by Livemaxxx on Oct 25, 2009 3:22 PM EDT

If anyone here has seen the game. How did Bob Sanders get reinjured again? I mean he was doing well stopping the run. Then he was fooled by a flea flicker and let a 40+ yard pass get through him. Hopefully this is a small injury. However, his constant injuries are seriously starting to get to me.

How did you guys think he did? and can someone please tell me how he injured himself...again!

Apparently Bob Lamey said Sanders was on a limited number of plays

but him going off the to lockerroom afterwards is a bit concerning.

Luck is probability taken personally, clutch is probability attributed to individuals.

he looked great

when he got juked out of his jock on that first play of the game. Looked good on the flea flicker, too. We can argue whether it was man 2 under or cover 3 later, that makes a difference.

Didn’t notice him much the rest of the day, but I’m told his name is Bob Sanders, so that probably inspired fear in atleast 0 people on the Rams sideline..

Everyone is reporting that he wasnt injured; Peyton Manning didnt go to the sideline when his day was done. I guess no one sits on the bench with the same intensity as Bob, so we need to take all precautions.

just rewatched the first half defense

the flea flicker wasn’t Cover 3 or cover 2 or cover 1. Looks like its Cover 0 with both bob and bethea in the box, perfect play call and really bad play by Hayden (he had a bad game). Really weird game plan for the Colts safeties, as Bob and Bullitt were both playing in illinois on most downs. Around the 6 minute mark (after the Freeney sack at the 1) Sanders had a chance to make a “sanders” play, coming from 20 yards deep to hit Jackson in the backfield, but Sanders completely whiffed on the play (no consequence, since it was like 3rd and 20)

I’m not so sure he got reinjured. It’s more likely that once they knew he was done for the day they probably took him back to the locker room to check his knee just as a precautionary measure.

I agree 99.9%

Here's from ESPN's commentary

Safety Bob Sanders (knee surgery) got out of his season debut unscathed, getting 25 snaps and making his lone stop on Jackson one play after whiffing on Avery.

“Everything looks good,” Sanders said. “It’s been a long time since I played a game and not had any trouble.”

Bob went back to the locker room for a look see, to check for swelling.

"You can't defend the perfect throw, what can I say?" Peyton quoting Marino

He said himself

that he came through unscathed. This is preseason for him. He’ll probably be back to his old self by the Texans or Pats game.

Now a proud annoyance on Stampede Blue, 18to88, Indy Football Report, and Phil B's blog.

Man, I need a life...

Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: This video right here has produced one of my favorite lines ever. It was so awesome that there has been 2 sequels. One where you must put a banana in your ear, and another where you must grab their tongues. Purely awesome.

I think he took the phrase "hit the showers" a little too seriously.

He said this its been a long time since he hasn’t had the pain/swelling after a game so maybe its finally starting to shape up. Hopefully no more injuries!

From everything I have seen. He was on a "pitch count"

Back when I was picking beans in Guatemala, we used to make fresh coffee, right off the trees I mean. That was good. This is shit but, hey, I'm in a police station.
