Jamie Williams out this year with a ruptured abductor muscle

Should I expect a ratings drop?
Damn that sucks

[Suicane]

I could do without fuckin preseason

[tarcone]

Thoughts and observations at the end of preseason:

My defense comes out without one injury
My offensive line is banged up. especially the interior.
My WRs took a beating.......BUT Glenn Bess is listed as PROBABLE now and has no loss of ratings. If this holds true, he could be the steal of FA
No one shined at RB. Im thinking of a RB by committee scenario for the Cows
LETS GET IT ON!!!!!!

VIRGIL IS BACK!! HE'S BACK!! HE'S GOT HIS EYES BACK!

[Argot]

I could do without f***in' preseason

Just wait until FOF2k7 when, if you don't play your starters in pre-season, they are rusty for the first 2 weeks of the season.

Although I think the injury setting is lower than 2k4.

[Warhammer]

I'm glad this isn't 2k7. our defense looked atrocious, but since our back 7 was all backups, I'm not too concerned. Our offense looked good while Hickman was in, have to wonder how we would have been if we hadn't fumbled that kickoff in the second quarter. Also, without Jamison in, the running game has been anemic.

Still in the cuts, the biggest of note is Fletcher Sala was let go, he leaves our franchise leader in all receiving categories, kind of a bummer, but we needed to free up space on the roster.

[Jave]

Oakland looked like the champions they are. Nothing more needs to be said.

[BuddaKINGII]

We are looking good so far too bad I went with the computer gameplan against Madison. I would of liked to see what we could do now with a better game-plan.

I'd vote for Anchorage vs Oakland in the IFL bowl now. That is if none of our key players on off. becomed injured. Reese made it back from a reconstructive knee surgury so hopefully Emerson can. That would be a big boost come week 10.

[Warhammer]

I really think the AC is going to be brutal this year. Norfolk, Boston, Hartford, Wichita, Iowa City, Houston, Murphreesboro, St. Louis, Albuquerque, Portland, and Anchorage all have legitimate playoff aspirations. Picking 6 from that group is going to be brutal.

Damn that sucks

anyone know about this injury? I'm looking for guys with general experience with this injury. I know [ifl]Mikel Hutson [/ifl]had it for me in 2003 and dropped about 20pts, but I think that his recovery time was longer. Just looking for some input because I don't want to IR him if I make the playoffs and he's still as good as he is.

I think it's the injury Jerry Stclair and/or Ambrose Jones had and whichever one also dropped ratings from it

dammit. :evil:

I pray he comes back ok. Obviously, he's part of the future of my franchise. The future should've started this year.

Do you remember how many weeks they were out for? I thought Hutson was out well over 20 weeks

VIRGIL IS BACK!! HE'S BACK!! HE'S GOT HIS EYES BACK!

Nice to see that. Virgil is one of my favorites in this league, for non-Toads anyways.
