Pats at Packers 8/19
- Thread starter RedOctober3829
- Start date
Collided with another Patriot making a play on a pass, went down, didn't get up, looked like your usual precautions, stretcher, etc. Then Slater and Bill talked, then Bill and Lafleur and the refs announced both teams agreed to suspen the game.
Scary shit. Dud anyone see if the ambulance came on the field? They went to commercial, then he was taken off, but I thought the cart was out.
He was put on a backboard/litter , which was loaded on the cart. Cart drove off the field and went under the stands.
Thankfully we did not see a repeat of the clowns out in Oakland rolling poor Darryl Stingley off the field with the litter bouncing up and down over the uneven surface.

Statement from Patriots: Patriots cornerback Isaiah Bolden sustained an injury during the fourth quarter of tonight’s game. He had feeling in all his extremities, but has been taken to a local hospital for further tests and observation.

Zolak said he saw movement from both the hands and the feet. I didn't see anything, I turned it off when they went back to timeout (glad to see the refs agreed with my judgment and called the game at that point).
I think we'll get there eventually. Next step, maybe a further reduction to two games (each team has an away and a home game), but that probably means we're up to 18 regular season games, so it won't exactly curtail injuries overall.
I went to a charity event last year, and andrews, mccourty and slate all spoke. They were all incredibly impressive men, especially slate. 100 pct class people
Having had numerous conversations with him, I concur wholeheartedly. A true leader of men.
It was interesting to see him essentially on a peer level with BB and LaFleur as they were talking it over. He didn’t seem to have an equivalent on the Green Bay side.
There's not many guys left from his draft class (and DeSean Jackson has hinted at retirement) and none of them are the same type of leader as Slater. He's been in the league longer than some coaches; he was drafted the same year as KOC and was in the league 9 years before Brandon Staley made the jump from college to the pros. Even LaFluer started his NFL coaching career the same year as Slate started playing. He's got a little bit of respect around the league.
And Josh Johnson had several years being out of the league as well so I don’t really even count him either although I remain amazed that he somehow found work at 36/37 despite being awful.
