[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 783312"] A bum shoulder inhibits press coverage, tackling and ball skills. It does not make you clueless in zone coverage or cause you to give up separation in off coverage or deprive you of the savvy to bait a rookie QB on a short out route. Anyway, I had not looked into King's injury history from before last season's vague mentions of shoulder issues before going on IR. Man, oh, man. [URL]https://www.packersnews.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/2017/12/08/persistent-shoulder-injuries-plague-packers-rookie-cb-kevin-king/936148001/[/URL] For those who can't acess that link, try your browser incognito function. Let's see if I've got this right. - He popped his left shoulder out of it's socket as a college freshman. - He popped it numerous times after that. - Then he had labrum surgery. - Then he popped it some more. - He was a full participant at the Combine where he did 11 lifts. - He says he discussed the shoulder with Packers staff pre-draft. - Then he was drafted. - Then the shoulder started acting up again early in 2017 camp. - The he popped it as many as 10 times during last season!? - He was questionable for Week 9 with a back injury but played a full complement of snaps. - Then he went on IR for the shoulder. - Then he had a second labrum surgury by Dr. Andrews. "He’s a long-armed corner with 'loose limbs,' King said. He wonders if his body is naturally more prone to dislocations." - Then a couple weeks ago as he was getting ready to ditch the brace on that left shoulder, he suffered an "odd" injury to the right shoulder. Now he's wearing that brace on the right side. No coach is going to have anything but good things to say about a high pick who played though most of his rookie season with pain and injury. That's as it should be. I have a newfound respect for King for the effort. "He was having a good camp." With a brace on his surgically repaired shoulder? "We've not seen the real Kevin King." Surely not. So what do we know of the real Kevin King? College tape, the Combine and NFL rookie mental mistakes. Nobody can assume who that guy might be. And if he is prone to "loose limbed" disclocations nobody may ever find out. [/QUOTE]
