Slow Getting Up: A Story Of NFL Survival From The Bottom Of The Pile - Plot & Excerpts
Listen, fellas. They’re not doing anything we weren’t expecting. Okay? It’s pretty straightforward stuff. But you guys see how much they’re overpursuing our keepers, right? We’re going to go with our throwback keeper in the first series. Eddie, you good with that? —Yeah. I’m standing next to rookie wide receiver Eddie Royal on the north end of the locker room while Dinger holds court at the whiteboard. It’s halftime. We are playing the Chargers in week five, a few weeks after my touchdown. I got my first start today. But the start only sounds pretty on paper. Our opening play was a two-tight-end set. And Tony’s still hurt. One play, then I was back off the field again and waiting. My main job is still special teams. We kicked off on one of the last plays of the first half. At the end of the play, their special teams ace Kassim Osgood clipped me on the shoulder. I fell forward onto my knees, which were splayed wide.
