Todd Heap

[Tank 92]

Todd was twisted up pretty badly. He had linemen roll on the backs of his legs and the linebacker tried to push his head into the #s on his back. Given his existing back issues, this could be not good.

My neck and back hurt from just watching.

Anyone heard a report?

[RavenWarrior11]

We should all give Todd a great big "HHEEEAAAAPPPPP"

I'm curious about his condition as well

[Mishel]

Nestor (the WNST guy) twittered that he talked to Heap after the game and Heap said he's fine.

[K-Dog]

Oh heck it is nothing his chiropractor wasnt going to do any way...

[RavensClaw52]

Glad to hear its not serious, of course it will probably nag him for a long time just hope hes A-Ok for the Colts. Did anyone else here the large number of fans yelling HEEEAAAPP when he was walking off the field?

[HighBoltageMD]

Glad he's Ok... and congrats

Yup and we were yelling it from home here as well. I'm sure we we're the only ones.

That was us yelling at the game. By the last 5-10 minutes of the game all the Patriots fans had gone so we all moved down to the bottom rows and crowded the raven's bench. Ray Rice and Frank Walker and some of the other players were waving bye to Patriots fans. We were yelling their names and they would smile and acknowledge us. It was pretty crazy to watch Foxboro empty while Tom Brady is still on the field in a playoff game.

That's the good stuff!

Some fines should come out of that mess where they were trying to break Todd's spine. I haven't seen the replay of that, but from one take, it was blatant. Tight Ends are used to taking big hits, but that was horrible sportsmanship IMO. I met Todd last year after the Titans playoff game; he's as nice as can be.

[Tonymontana45]

What about what we did to Chris Johnson last year in the playoffs?

Man I could here it on TV and it was awsome! In their house after that big of a victory you all put an exclamation point on it Raven style! Big time props to all of you who went up there and made sure no one could say they did'nt know our name!

OK Todd needs to get on the mend. We need him on Saturday!!! He's as tough as he is friendly so he can do it!!!

While I like Heap and his production up until yesterday had been good to see, what annoys me about the TE situation is that no one is giving him help. What the hell is L.J. Smith doing on the roster? Can't Edgar Jones contribute at all?

I can't wait till this team dumps L.J. and drafts a capable TE to spell Heap.

I like Quinn Sypniewski. He's a good blocking tight end that can spell Heap on running downs. He is not as much of a threat receiving, but is somewhat capable. I remember when Heap was injured and Quinn caught a TD pass, the stadium went HHHHEEEEEEAAAAAaaaappppppp......? He is definitely capable of spelling Heap, too bad about his injury. If he comes back, we wouldn't have to worry as much about addressing the position this offseason.

I doubt Sypniewski is brought back but even if he is, this team still needs a young TE who can be a receiving threat.

We dont run single back sets too often because McClain is a guy you want on the field and for whatever reason we like our 2 WR I Form sets with Clayton on the field, im guessing so it doesnt compress the 8 man box's we see even more. While I think LJ has been a waste, I also cant blame him as they dont even use a second TE at all. Even in goal line.
