Gotta love Trent Williams

Trent Williams played hurt to prove himself | ProFootballTalk

This is the kind of effort/selflessness we have lacked for so long. Love it.

I am okay with this stuff as long as it doesn't lead to a much serious injury. One thing is being able to play through pain, but another is risking further injury with these types of decisions. Luckily this seems to be in the former category. Glad to see TW owning to his past mistake and growing up though.

It's the RGIII effect. His awesomeness makes everyone else put forth a better effort.

Did he medicate himself before the game

your comment didn't go over my head, but what pain management options do they have? from what i gather, they can get high on the codeine horse. is that correct?

ZIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG!

I agree with the poster above. As long as this isn't something that can become more serious, great. I'd rather a player take an extra week then push it and never quite get healthy. See Orakpo, Brian. Hopefully 1 year will let that pec heal up.

Maybe he rubbed some of this stuff on it:

Wasnt his injury just a bone bruise in his knee? Im sure that it probably hurts really really bad but i dont think he had any significant chance of injury.

Thats it.

Trent has stepped it up this year.

Trent Williams= Iron Man. You have to give him credit for the fortitude that he's shown.

SmootSmack · 10-03-2012, 03:23 PM

I was a little nervous quite honestly about TW playing on the wet conditions at Tampa last week. Glad he played though

I know Shanahan (Mike) gave a bit of a team lecture last week (which was primarily directed at Garcon, though some believe it may have also been targeted toward guys like Williams too) that players needed to man up and practice and play through pain. If you're injured that's one thing. But if it's just a matter of tolerating the pain, you better get out there on the field.

LOL, yeah. I think some players were trying the "I'm not healthy enough to practice but I'm healthy enough to play" reasoning. And Shanahan doesn't go for that

Players have been pulling that for ages. I remember stories about Lombardi coming in and, essentially, clearing out the trainers room. To hurt to practice? Then we'll give your roster spot to someone who can. Of course, back in those days, the team would cut as easy as batting an eye if you weren't one of the teams studs.
