I'm getting sick of these injuries to Najera, Hayes and Dooling. Those are three key guys. I don't want to see us starting the season like total shit because these guys have no familiarity with what to do. I want to see a second unit of Dooling, CDR, Hayes, Najera and Boone
Infection. Was nauseous the night before and on game day. That's not the kind of thing you want spreading through the team. But I'd be shocked if he didn't play Wednesday. It sucks about the Najera and Hayes injuries, but it's helped Ryan and CDR get more preseason PT and attention from the coaching staff. Fortunately our first game is against a team that's very down right now, the Wizards, and we have a couple of days between games 1 and 2 for Najera and Hayes to practice with the team before the home opener on November 1st.
I don't really care if they are hurt during preseason. This gives us a much bigger look at the rookies early on.
