Boykin cut by Panthers

So maybe they couldn't say anything for Hipaa regulations? LOL! I wonder what degenerative disorder explains Blake??? You could probably win the Nobel prize for discovering that.

 

I think it's a case of degenerative secondary, meaning a no. 4 CB being asked to fill the no.1 role.

Things will be different this year...

 

whats really shocking is we gave up a draft pick and our dr.s didn't catch this. we also trotted blake out there every week and a one legged guy still was better than most of the secondary. he was also a guy our DB coach pushed to get on the field.

 

When I first read the story, I assumed Lake was taking the piss a bit.

 

Did you ever take the time to think it was early enough into the injury that it wouldn't show up in their medical tests?

 

Speaking from personal experience, yes it is quite possible it did not show up on the medical tests. It is also unlikely Boykin didn't know when he signed the contract. Especially when he signed with Carolina.

 

Since Blake and Boykin play different positions within the secondary I don't see what Blakes struggles have to do with Boykin.

 

Maybe it just rubbed off on him?

 

everyone be ready because this thread will be looking for braiiiinnnnnnns soon

 

Maybe if we told people brains was an App people would use it?

 

apps can be useful, probably more along the lines of facebook games in this case.

 

Well he looked like a better CB than a lot that we had playing,not sure if his health affected his play or his playing time , but at least he tried to battle the injury and hone his craft . I wish him the best as he moves forward with his life's work.

 

Maybe he could be a coach or something. He obviously has a love for the game.

 

Long live the Boykin threads

 

as it said in the article , philly cut him because of it and our doctors didn't pick it up. it wasn't that early in the injury. it was a degenerative condition not really just something that happened one day on the field.

 

Philly didn't cut him they traded him to us.

 

just going by the article glenn.

 

Very true . He wants to be on the field and was always willing to step up and try and play, so yes that type of attitude would be rewarded as a Coach.
