Why Saints LB Anzalone Is Confident Shoulder Won't Hold Back His Potential Any More

I'm pulling for Anzalone ... seriously I am. He has the speed/size & skills you need at the LB spot however his past injury history is concerning. From my reading & film study ... great talent at Florida but injury riddled. "Ice up!". The NFC as a whole is deep and talented. We'll need him.

I hope Alex proves me wrong in 2018.

Second that. Can see a Hagan msg now - boy, JP, the paper boys made you look smart predicting that line about getting his shoulder fixed right...

You know you're old when you can predict the news, in this case, that our suspicions were grounded about Anzolone's getting better care vs that at UF...

Anzalone's gotta show he can give and take a beating, the physicality of the game and be able to recover within a week, but this is optimistic news...

Not sure if you listen to NFL radio (XM -Moving the Chains), but last Thursday Dr. Chao spoke about Anzalone's injury/shoulder. I'm paraphrasing here but in a nut shell he stated that apparently Alex has had at least 3 dislocations in the same shoulder. Possibly in different directions, however if they were in the same direction it would be difficult to avoid subsequent dislocations.

He went on to say that in this new age of modern medicine, there are procedures & techniques to graft tissue in so he feels Anzalone could get past this ... for good.

This is the thing - it's in an NFL team's best interest to use their greatest resource, an abundance of cash, to protect and ensure their investment

University of Florida just wants to patch kids together without medical care becoming a burden to the program...
