Is Ryan Clark going to play in Denver?

**Big T** · 10-26-2009, 12:09 PM

All i know is that i do NOT, I repeat, do NOT want to see Keiwan Ratliff in man coverage on anyone ever again. The lions made him look like a little girl and Dennis Northcutt (pfffttt) beat him for a TD. If Ryan doesnt go, which we all agree he shouldnt, i would be most comfortable with Deshea taking over.

is he in any danger of that happening again or did they take care of that with removal of his spleen

I was under the impression he is still in danger.

for sure though.

The problem is he has sickle cell, that an the high altitude in Denver caused him to have his spleen removed, the high altitude makes his sickle cell act up so i hope he doesn't play it's not worth it IMO.

I think he HAS to sit this game out, his health is much more important then the game vs Denver, Tyrone Carter would probably start in his place. Is it a downgrade? Yes. Is it worth having Clark play and possibly risking his life? No.

The doctors do not think he is in danger, but they cannot guarantee it. The are not completely sure what would happen.

He definately should not play...too risky for sure! Nothing is worth losing your life for. Shouldn't even be in that elevation...he should stay home and keep himself safe and healthy. Kind of sucks this game is in Denver though...

He shouldn't, and he shouldn't even travel with the team.

I agree with the popular logic. Not worth the risk. But with the extra week he should be able to make the best and most educated decision.
No biggie
we win without him in Denver anyhoo
