Brad Meester is Hurt

Our starting Center Brad Meester is hurt. He's got a bicep strain (not the same bicep he's had trouble with in the past), the extent of which won't be determined for a few days. Brad is a centerpiece on the line and his ability to call out blocking assignments is nothing short of spectacular. Brad's a vet and should be able to rebound quickly, however, Jack Del Rio acknowledged he'll most likely miss some time.

“We’re still trying to determine exactly how long he may be out, but Brad Meester has strained a biceps muscle or tendon and they’re going to do an exam and make sure; doctors will look at him. We’re concerned he may miss time,” Del Rio explained. “We know he’s going to miss some time. We’re concerned with how much that may turn into. We’ll have a better indication in the next couple of days.

One can only hope he will be back for the start of the regular season, however we won't be sure for a little while. Drew Miller's quest for a starting spot is looking brighter now, and he had a strong showing Monday night when the pads went on. We may keep 10 offensive linemen when the season begins if Brad can't make it back.

When JDR

said may miss some time did he mean regular season time or preseason/training camp? I think I already know, but I hope I don’t. Norman did a good job last season in Meester’s stead, but you could see the difference Meester makes when he came back.

I don't really know, but I would say...

It depends on whether it was a tendon or muscle strain. A tendon strain may mean some regular season time, but if it is a muscle strain he should be back before the the regular season.

Hopefully is doesn’t turn out to be a tear!

The upside...

Drew Miller will get a good long look at Center. I think there’s something there.

Don't forget Dennis Norman.....

He’s got starting experience & has played well when he’s had the chance.
He plays center & guard, plus he went to Princeton, so the line calls should be no problem!

Big blow...

I know that I’m probably in the minority, but I think this is the worst injury new from camp to date. While Mike Walker, the Tight Ends, Jerry Porter and Reggie Williams are all very important players, I think the loss of someone like Brad Meester will hurt the most. The Center posistion is so important, and Brad is one of the best. Let’s hope for a speedy recovery!!!
