i blame the fact that watson is 35 years old - dudes nearly 40 - absolutely no surprise something like this has happened ( wish him well and a speedy recovery of course) but if we dont have a guy whos closer to 40 than 30 out there, putting in first team work - we walk away from that preseason game with one injury to dixon and we chalk it up to football, which it just was - nothing you can do about it
i feel we are getting the freak / football injuries which are part of football, like last year - perriman, elam, forsett, flacco and then i think we are compounding this with fact we have a lot of old guys we really, really count on because we're not getting that young blood through.
We're relying so much on these older guys - like Suggs who was 32 last year when he blew his achilles, sss was 36 and carrying our wr corps when he should have been cherry picking his spots - really cant be shocked he went down and cant be a surprise doom is hurting after the work he had to put in last season
need to start hitting on these draft picks, develop these players, get younger and lessen the workload on the older players if we expect to get and stay healthy
