Report: Jonathan Baldwin hurts wrist in locker room fight

Quote:

Baldwin will likely miss the rest of the preseason after injuring his wrist during a locker room scuffle with teammate Thomas Jones. Baldwin’s work ethic has reportedly been an issue.

“He’s as advertised,” a source tells Wright. “Diva, spoiled, doesn’t wanna listen. Can run a Go and a Slant, and doesn’t wanna work.”

New nick name "Baldlosing".

Wow that ******* sucks, hopefully he'll turn it around.

vidae · 08-19-2011, 01:43 PM

It's a locker room fight during training camp for ***** sake. Why is everyone acting like its the end of the world?

It's not about the fight, it's the attitude. It's being reported that he has a bad work ethic, and he fought one of the team leaders. If this continues, he'll be a lonely man in KC. Rookies need to come in and earn respect, he's not doing that.

Agreed.....

Reported? Reported by who? I haven't read reports about his work ethic.

And Thomas Jones has been in fights with teammates at three different stops. What a "VETERAN LEADER" this guy is! When a fellow teammate does something he doesn't like, he gets into a fist fight with them.

I'm just glad that Jones faded down the stretch last season.. his inability to run the last 8 games of the year goes great with this "veteran leadership" he has shown.

high five for condemning someone character based solely off assumptions!

Just wondering about what you guys thought about adding Jared Gaither a week or so ago. Has there been any announcements on if he is healthy enough to play? Would he play LT or RT?

Splat · 08-19-2011, 04:51 PM

As of now Jared Gaither is a back up LT.

We're not about Thomas Jones here...

but I'm not making it up, all I said is that it's being reported, and that's all I can go off. If you want to find out, then google it. What I'm reading is that Thomas Jones confronted Baldwin because of his work ethic and things got out of hand. Usually when there is a training camp fight it would be between an offensive and defensive player while being competitive, you know this is something different.

Splat · 08-19-2011, 06:57 PM

Kelly Gregg is a MAN. I have been keeping my eye on him when he is in the game and dam it's nice to see our NT move some people...

Splat · 08-19-2011, 09:15 PM

Keep getting sacks Justin Houston and I will forgive your holdout...

nepg · 08-19-2011, 09:52 PM

The lack of cb and wr depth is brutal. There it's still time to address those areas...

T-RICH49 · 08-19-2011, 10:14 PM

John Harbaugh is a douche....that is all

nepg · 08-19-2011, 10:16 PM

Because he kept calling plays in a practice game?

Screw that. Tell your guys they are down 6 and run the play.

Splat · 08-20-2011, 08:57 AM

It's the preseason I don't have problem with it at all.

T-RICH49 · 08-20-2011, 10:43 AM

then if I were Haley during the to I'd have put my starters back out there to shove it down Harbaugh's throat

Splat · 08-20-2011, 10:58 AM

Why the hell would you risk getting your starters hurt in a meaningless game?

vidae · 08-20-2011, 11:23 AM

Why risk getting anyone hurt in a meaningless game?

I don't have a huge problem with him calling a TO at the end of the game, but it works both ways. People could have gotten injured. You can't keep a lot of offensive lineman on your roster, and one of those guys could have potentially been injured on that play.

Because they are not meaningless. They are live fire practice. Everyone needs work, and this is the only way to get it at close to game intensity. Almost all HCs also want to put a licking on someone, at some point in camp. Game 3 of preseason is a favorite.

Is what he did in college also assumptions?

vidae · 08-20-2011, 07:00 PM

It was all completely overblown.
