An Update on Kyle Orton

by Edicus2288i on Nov 11, 2008 2:04 AM CST

"It was my decision if I was going to play or not, and I didn't feel like I could be out there," said Orton, who dressed as the emergency No. 3 quarterback and stood on the sidelines observing the 21-14 loss to the Titans. "Coach (Lovie Smith) gave me up until (Sunday) morning to decide, and he said the decision was mine. I just didn't feel like I could help in any way.

"If I feel like I can help next week, I'll definitely be out there."

"I feel like I have a great chance," he said. "I'm pretty happy with where I am at right now compared to a week ago. It hurts when you put pressure on it. Hopefully we'll just continue to make the same amount of improvement this week."

I really hope he continues to improve and is ready to go against GB.
I just worry cuz GB likes to blitz a lot and they take a lot of cheap shots.
I wouldn' t be shocked in an D-Line man rolled into Orton's ankle on accident.

A thought or two on Kyle.....

Brad Biggs of the Chicago Sun-Times stated Kyle was gimpy today in the few instances that he attempted to drop back. How much of that can you attribute to the actuall injury itself, as opposed to the swelling and stiffness after the fact? I’ve seen Orton play hurt before while in college at Purdue.and I can attest to his moxy. If this guy can find a way to get out there and be effective, he’ll play.

I'm curious as to the treatment before practice and before a game

We here how some guys get huge shots of cortizone or something prior to going out to numb the pain and lessen to swelling. I doubt they do that prior to practice, so they can evaluate where the injury is.

I hope they decide on Orton soon

I wanna see him get the bulk of the snaps if he is starting, if he isn’t give them to Grossman. I don’t care who starts, I just want to see one of our QB’s be prepared for this game against Green Bay as this is an important game. I also wanna know because the Bears are a completely different team without Orton and I’ll have to adjust my fantasy team accordingly. So come on Lovie, give us some specifics.
