MOSteelers56 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Well that sucks. I'd assume that's why we made the practice squad move. We need Hubbard to continue his decent play. Honestly, his loss probably hurts us the least this year. He's been out or playing below his standard all year. It does suck that this puts him at risk of missing more games.

DudeWhat??? Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 What ped was it? Was it something he was using because of that injury? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLambert58 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Just when everything was going well, another hurdle to jump. Only good I can see is that this ensures that the hamstring is 100% for the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it something he was using because of that injury? this is what I am trying to figure out, as he claims inadvertently taking what had the PED. Too bad, he might have made the pro bowl but OTOH he has less of a chance for injury over the next 4 weeks Hawkins and Hubbard are the replacements but which will play? I can't remember Hawkins playing a snap in regular season play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pretty excited about him this year but he’s been a disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feiler got playing time over him, which isn't a strong endorsement by the coaching staff. Everyone seemed to assume last year that he was going to be great. I was hoping he would be, but definitely not drinking that kool aid prematurely. If he doesn't take another step forward by next year, I think he'll be gone by 2019.

Dcash4 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Near unlimited resources as far as knowledge and actually supplements...yet these guys get caught "inadvertently taking a banned substance". Its bull. You cheated. You knew what you were doing or you were too stupid to try to actually fact check and figure it out. I'm not that upset about losing Gilbert right now. He has been pretty fantastic for us but in general, I think we are okay. But this stuff drives me nuts. Just don't be stupid. That's all you need to do and guys can't even accomplish that...

Hubbard was a turnstile for 3 years. Now he is a very capable backup. In Munchak I trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOSteelers56 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 One positive spin on this would be Gilbert might actually be healthy now headed into the playoffs. We haven't noticed a massive drop off with Hubbard(I'd still take Gilbert 10/10 times) and Gilbert has looked hampered by his lingering hammy. Take a few weeks off to rehab that thing and get back by the playoffs ready to kick some Chiefs/Jags/Pats butts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had some turnstile moments this year too. Though he did play better in recent weeks before Gilbert returned. I trust in Munchak to have these guys ready until he returns. My only concern is, Hubbard was first man off the bench, and as a 6th OL/TE in some situations, now that person is Feiler I guess. Either way, we should likely be fine except for NE.

I thought last time this happened it was FInney that came in as the 6th O-linemen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
