We need to cut the cord
with a lot of these players who are constantly injured. Young has played well for us (when he’s played), but this havoc with the roster has got to stop.

Does that mean Campbell too?

I don't know the details of Campbell's injury
but there’s been some talk that it might be the end of his career anyway.
But, yeah…a player that can be absolutely relied on to not give us a full season, doesn’t warrant a roster spot. Players like Deuce or Mike McKenzie, who have lost significant time due to serious injury, are one thing; but players who are constantly tweaking ankles or hamstrings or quads and going out two or three times in a season for half a dozen games in total are not the kind of players you can build a championship team around.
