...Anzalone believes this time is different. Back in action after undergoing surgery to repair the damage he suffered against Miami in London, Anzalone is confident the shoulder has been repaired.

"It was fixed really well this time," Anzalone said. "My arm fully dislocated, but it was fixed differently."

Anzalone opted not to offer a full medical breakdown of his injury after Thursday's organized team activity, but his shoulder problems at Florida stemmed from issues with the initial repair done to the joint as a freshman...

This is exactly what I was talking about earlier this offseason - Was he getting the level of care he should have been getting at Florida?

Now we just found out if he's fragile or if it was in fact the case he'd never been properly treated while playing in Gainesville...

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...

First, I like this kid and he has a lot of talent. But this was the concern on this board by many people when we drafted him. There was a particular person who tried to chide every sincere concern. First year and the same injury hits again. This is why it gets annoying when people have legit concerns about a players health and the same person wants to come on and tell them how they do not know what they're talking about.

I am pulling for him too, but they all say this time is different. I hope it is!
