wheatons finger

Does not sound positive at all.

 

Time will tell I guess.

As long as it feels good, shouldnt be a problem, unless its sticking out at an angle that will deflect the ball

On a serious note, where the heck were the trainers? Why was no one monitoring his recovery, making sure he was doing the proper things for it to heal correctly? That kind of pisses me off.

 

No, he's their property and they should be examining that finger weekly to make sure their investment is recovering accordingly. Wheaton even said their was a miscommunication.

Unless the surgery was in the off season but I was under the impression he got it down during the season last year, and if thats the case, they should have been monitoring it.

 

I'm not absolving Wheaton but as I said, they should have been monitoring it. No one was looking at it? Making sure he was doing what he was supposed to? Its only a pinky but its still physical therapy. He's their investment, keep on top of that ****.

Maybe its the second one that was for the pinky, he broke 2 fingers I believe.

 

I was under the impression it was after the season. When Colbert spoke about it at the combine, it sounded like the 2nd surgery had just happened.

 

I agree. About the most I expect from MB is being used in the redzone. I am much more confident in Wheatons abilities at this point in time.

 

Yes but I meant as far as their college film, Wheaton is a much better route runner. He also has a year under his belt, regardless of playing time, hes familiar with the playbook. Lets not forget that Wheaton impressed in preseason, it's just tough to catch with broken fingers which is why his work during the seasons was poor. I still like his skill set and what he can bring to the table.

 

I wouldn't make too much out of this. Kids say things in interviews, much of the time, they're just trying to be humble. It's unfortunate that his finger got so mangled, but luckily it wasn't his thumb. It sounds like he misunderstood what he was supposed to be doing. Who knows, though.

From the Trib article:
During his post-London layoff, there was a miscommunication of sorts, and Wheaton said he thought he was supposed to keep his finger immobilized. In retrospect, he should have been exercising it, he said, to keep the scar tissue from building up.

Wheaton doesn't blame anyone involved in the operation or his recovery except himself.
“The surgeon did a great job, but the rehab, it was on me. I should have been pushing it a lot more than I was,” he said. “I got pretty complacent in where I was with my rehab and thinking, “It's just my pinkie,” and not giving it as much time (to heal) as it needed.”

Yeah, I think we need some up close video of that. :-D

 

Everything I have learned about Wheaton says he is humble, I'm sure he is just trying not to point fingers but who knows just what exactly was explained to him.

Unless you are familiar with breaks and such, you most likely wouldn't know about scar tissue build up. I can't blame him if he didn't know about that.

I don't know if anything is as bad as that feet pic, creeped even me out but just had to do that to blount
