Stats from ESPN. Seems just depends what game you look at. Cushing had sacks and interceptions in 08, fwiw. ESPNU has 2009 Rose bowl on tonight where USC demolished Penn St. Matthews flying all over the place.

And I watched Cush the entire 1st half, then the blow out got boring. Cush did not look good against the run and he played weak at the line of scrimmage. He was at his best going back in coverage.

I am concerned, but as Bob said, I will wait and see, and I will say it again, I hope I am wrong.

I recorded this game and watched it specifically to scout Cushing......While he didn't have a great showing, he was always close to the action and made a few stops. Not bad, but I think we could have gotten better value in Zach Follet in the later rounds who, IMO, will be just as good a player, if not better. That being said, Cushing is my guy now and I'll be rooting for him every Sunday.

Agreed, but as a person I have heard some new things about the young man(Cushing), and I will give him credit for being a great guy.

And the injury bug has started before we even got a single snap out of him.

Good news, does not look to need surgery.

Also from the reports it sounds like work out boy did something while lifting.

Not that it couldn't have happened while lifting...but I heard he complained of a sore knee after practice and that they weren't sure when exactly it happened. Was there something else I missed?

The earlier report on the official site has been rewritten and the inference I was able to make earlier has been lost in update hell.

The jist of the line was Cushing practiced yesterday with no issues, even came in an did his workout. Then he went to trainer and relayed the knee is sore. The trainers took him straight to a MRI at the mere mention my knee is sore.

I had found it funny he did not mention the knee issue until after he worked out. Again it was my inference and it was based on reading between lines, thus it has no validity.

Jest, as in making a joke? Or Jist which is the kernel of something said? I'm just asking, not taking umbrage with your statement PK.

The tone of this post is that you are happier about being "proven" right then you are upset the Texans are without a potentially valuable contributor. Is it too much to ask that we see this guy on an NFL field before we make decisions.

Well the down side of internet BB is that tone is not transferred to the reader.

I want this team to be the best team we have fielded, and having Cushing be one of the LBs is the only way that can happen right now.

As for being proven wrong or right, I am proven wrong everyday on this board, nothing new about that.

The other downside to message boards is that sometimes people make assumptions and read things into a post that were not there. That would be me in this case. Sorry for the assumption.
