Fabian Washington Injury

It didn't look to good. I'm going to say he'll be out for next week. Means Webb will be bumped up to starting CB.

I hope that's all it is... i heard definite screams of agnoy there that had me fearing the worst...

Our secondary is struggling as it is, but with Fabe gone that means more Carr on the field and that means.... *shudder*

Secondary played pretty well today all things considered. 2 picks, held Manning to under 300 yards(by a yard) and only one TD.

Yeah today they played better, but they still gave up a couple huge plays. 1 of those picks was luck (off a ball tipped high into the air which like 9/10 times will be caught by someone). 300 (rounded up :P) yards passing is still disappointing. WE've held teams to under 300 yards of total offense before, so I mean we still need to find a way to wrap up the passing game more effectively, Manning or not.

It's not luck to properly defend a pass and pay attention to where the ball is.

It wasn't luck, it was luck Washington's elbow hit the receiver otherwise he would have been accredited with the pick.

It was lucky that the ball went 10-15 feet into the air and hovered in the same general area of our defenders rather than get clipped into the ground or out of bounds.

Im not taking away from the coverage, as it was certainly well played, but there's always a little bit of luck involved when the ball gets ricocheted.

It was pain full to watch him hit the ground. I hope he comes back stronger. But i believe webb will fill in good. Although he is a rookie, i like his toughness. There was a play today when he was blitzing Josef addia was gonna block him and webb just blew him up. I couldnt believe a 175 pound guy counld hit like that.

i think he is done for the year by the way he was after the injury. Its a shame for fabs and we will miss him as now Chris Carr will be playing more. I just pray that they let KJ Gerard have snaps at corner over carr because carr is useless.

He sure was in agony. Doesn't look good from what was seen by us the viewers. Hopefully he'll be back soon.

Hopefully Washington isn't out for too long. Even if he is, I personally think Webb can step in and maybe even outplay him but the key will be the downgrade at nickel. We've all seen what Carr does there and Walker can't help but put his hands on people when he's on the field.

I really hope Roethlisberger is out next week.

hope fabian isn´t hurt that bad. like this dude very much. best wishes for our fastes dog out htere...
[/quote]
yea fabian is a big contributor to our defense. look at last year what he did when he was called upon..

why does our defense constantly to a 4-3 when we were working the 3-4 we looked so much better, and even when we did the 1-5-5.. i dont know whats up with mattison, but its crushing me when i see his scheming, he makes our guys look lost. paul kruger did well why didnt we play him more??.

foxworth did good against wayne, except for the one play where mattison must have called a cover 2 which foxowrth had to cover the TE, so every1 blamed foxworth. poor guy. lol

Our secondary is bad...mediocre at its best...no matter who is injured. Miracles can get us past the steelers and into the playoffs with this secondary. Personally I hope FW is OKAY and my wishes to him. I also hope we find a way to replace him next season along with our entire secondary. Not to mention PRAY that we can get some WR for Flacco to throw to. Seems like Rice and heap and Mason ONCE IN A WHILE are our current WR. Get better FW!

The way he was moving around and the initial scream... he's going to need surgery. If he doesn't I'll be surprised. It looked like the tendon snapped... which hurts like hell and will give you some table time (surgery) and several months of rehab.

I'm sorry to see Fabian down, but his 4.2 speed and/or reaction time got burned on a straight go route by Pierre Garcon. This does at least allow Lardarius Webb to probably start.

I was in the stands, where were you?

Yes, "burned" generally refers to down the field, but Washington couldn't cover him on the in-routes, slants, or comebacks either....
