Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 566611">First of all, I believe the rule is a regular season PUP guy cannot begin practicing until after week 6.  The idea Guion would come off PUP, practice for a week (with only one padded practice per week allowed in-season) and step on the field is impractical.The next question...stashing for what?  Like Thompson thinks nobody will get hurt in the first half of the season but somebody will in the back half?  Or there's no risk of all the NTs stinking up the joint in the first half but there is that risk in the second half?  That does not make much sense.  The rules most certainly discourage stashing.  And the whole thing seems too clever by half for Thompson.And must we repeat it again...Worthy never was and never will be a NT.  What guys like Boyd or Guion or Pennel  might have done or might do in the future has nothing to do with Worthy.Lastly, it's not uncommon for a player to declare himself fit while he's being held out for weeks at a time without the possibility of stashing.  This is often the case with guys in competitive situations, such as Guion.  Raijon Neal's candid comments from August 11, while on crutches, is not uncommon thinking:"I gotta play," Neal said. "There ain't no way around it. Being in the position I'm in, I can't afford it."</blockquote>
