Josh Freeman Wearing A Thumb Brace
November 3rd, 2011
Joe has been stating how real football fans — men — have no excuse not to have the NFL Network. It’s that simple.
Viewers of the NFL Network learn all sorts of things, sometimes things not said, like yesterday.
While doing an interview with the NFL Network, Bucs quarterback Josh Freeman was caught wearing a thumb brace on his throwing hand.
As Stephen Holder of the St. Petersburg Times pointed out on Twitter and on his newspaper’s website, Freeman in practice showed no signs of an injury and his passes seemed normal.
Apparently, per Holder, Freeman’s right thumb was dinged in the ugly loss to the Bears on British soil.
This, obviously, bears monitoring during the Saints game and suggests to Joe even more strongly that the ball should be put in the hands of LeGarratte Blount.

…the last time Starship hurt his thumb he ended up throwing 25 TDs and 6 picks 🙂

Beat me to it. I was going to say, the last time we worried about his thumb he was decisive and mistake free most the year.
Maybe a good omen

All signs lead to Blount. Will Olsen follow them?

Much about nothing.
“Freeman in practice showed no signs of an injury and his passes seemed normal.”
..and yet..
“…suggests to Joe even more strongly that the ball should be put in the hands of LeGarratte Blount.”
Normal bumps and bruises – I say it’s over-precautionary.
Don’t fret Joe, we’ll be fine.
1) Create game plan (please attack down the field olsen, you did that last year)
2) Execute game plan
3) Leave with a Win

why did it take so long for the Tampa Bay area sports media to pick up and report on the injury – why did it take an appearance on NFL Channel and local area fans to report about it before the media?

he wasnt on the injury report, because he didnt miss any practice. thats why.
also may explain the horrible game he had vs bears.

Doesn’t the local media look at our starting QB once-in-awhile and notice those things (casts/wraps)?
Were they caught snoozing as usual?
