Holds the rushing title from last season. Why wasn’t he put on the Madden cover? lol seems fitting w/ the season he’s had so far.

Ill tell you one thing, if that was me with a linsfrac injury, I wouldn’t be sitting on the sideline.

Cutler says hi.

The Jaguars should make a RB out of one of those many tarps that cover their many thousands of unsold seats.

This is why MJD held out!

Dirty-ass Raider defenders! Rolled MJDs legs and took out our QB the same way! What comes around goes around though and in the NFL I’m sure it won’t take long.

Rex Ryan seems very interested in this foot injury. Too easy.

Where are the tweets about him sitting on the sidelines. MJD called out Cutler who really did injur his knee but said nothing about Woodson in the Super Bowl. Is it because Cutler is white?

I hope so. Everything should be racial. Why are kickers almost always white?

Been a Jag fan since day one, and this is BY FAR the most brutal year I have witnessed.

It is just all bad. Everything is bad. I knew when they were up 9-0 against the Vikings, and up 20-6 against the Raiders, that they would probably piss it all away. I was right.

My dad always said it is the hard times that make the good times so much better.

These are hard times for us Jaguar fans. You have to hit rock-bottom to climb out of the hole. Every NFL has experienced rock bottom. Remember that when you talk crap!

If this isn’t rock bottom, I hate to see what rock bottom could be…..

Go Jags!

Do people really think a linsfranc injury has anything to do with the hold out?

I guess all that extra training camp might have changed the course of the kinetic energy through his feet.

Actually there is a track record that links hold out running back to season ending injuries

As a Colts fan I can honestly say MJD is the by far the most feared player not named Brady in the last several years to Colts fans. You could almost always count on him always dropping a “duece” (200 yards) on us. A true Colts killer. I hope the injury isn’t serious and he is able to come back but I can honestly say I am not sorry to see him on the side line when we come to Jax.

5 years ago ya never heard of this injury , now half the nfl has it

guys who hold out seem to have a curse…

maybe he wasn’t quite in top shape…. maybe he was…. but either way, he joins a long line of guys who got seriously hurt or plain didn’t perform after long hold outs….

it never pays off

Part of it could be the way they ….TAPE ….up these guys ankles, my mistake.

By: stealthsamuraininja

stealthsamuraininja — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 22:29:55 +0000

@eagleswin

They did run with Jennings until he got hurt in the first game and missed the next two games. What else were the Jags supposed to do?

On another note…. I agree that we are seeing an increase of this Lisfranc injury. Part of it could be the way they take up these guys ankle forcing all the force that usually goes to the ankles to the top part of the foot. Their legs take a crazy amount of force and now instead of the ankle it’s the next weakest point. I also hear their shoes are much more flimsy, closer to soccer cleats. Whatever it is, it’s unfortunate that so many players are going down with that injury.

MJD is being wasted on a team that is not going anywhere anytime soon. All he has too play for is money basically cause anyone with a brain know that jacksonville would be lucky just to get to 8-8 let alone the playoffs, even in the AFC with 2 teams above .500. Now this.

Chris Johnson may end up being the last running back holdout to ever get a big fat contract.

Guess MJD is going to have to drop himself from his own fantasy team.

He should have the surgery now so he can hopefully be back for the playoffs…oh wait. nevermind.

Shouldn’t he tough it out? Wouldn’t want to appear a sissy as Cutler did, right?…

Cutler won’t tweet about this because he is not an ignorant buffoon like this clown.

Whatever after the way he was treated even if this injury is minor he wouldn’t rush back. Where are all the we’ll be fine, train leaving is leaving quotes from Khan?

Turns out it is a congenital defect. Each of his legs is shorter than the other one.

Does that mean that each of his legs is also longer than the other one?

It’s not like he will miss anything. The Jags are pathetic..see Sunday against a terrible team.

People who talk about their fantasy squads at a time like this should be waterboarded.

And this is EXACTLY why he held out, to avoid what’s going to happen come negotiation time…

Lisfranc injuries, don’t they cause you to immediately drop to the ground and toss the football to your oppont?
——————————————————-
I’m cutting ‘Tone some slack. If I were lying on the ground, writhing in pain with the play still live and an NFL player coming in to finish the play, I’d have gotten rid of it too. If I had two seconds to think, I’d throw it out of bounds, but I’d be mostly wanting Carlos Rogers to not land on my broken foot.
