Add me to the list of hyperactive lunatics who were “concerned” about Eagles Pro Bowl guard Shawn Andrews’ ankle injury. I wasn’t impressed with the offensive line on Monday, and was counting on another big season from Andrews (which, in my mind, equals lots of running and opportunities for Brian Westbrook to the carry the team/ keep the pressure off 5 — seriously, this is a big deal).
The “concern” surfaced earlier this week when Andrews said that his conversation with his ankle specialist was a “tear-jerker.” Whoa! Tear-jerker! That sounds serious! I thought this was a minor injury! Maybe there’s more here than the Birds are letting on!
Of course, Andy Reid corrected this assessment in his press conference this morning and indicated that he thought Andrews would be set for the season opener (that’s just “him being Shawn”).
Right, so pursuant to our earlier post in re: Andrews being slightly un-footballish in his singing ambitions, um, now it sounds like he gets all screechy about minor setbacks and blubbers to the press? Congrats, Shawn, you’re now officially the flakiest dude on the team!
(Please stop talking to the press.)
