Tracking the Preaux Career of Fred Stamps

[1stTake]

I really wanted to root for Jack DelRio's Jags last year but when he cut Brad Franklin loose I cut DelRio loose. This may sound goofballish but I'm picking him up again.

I was in a gangsta mood this morning.

2004 Rookie Watch

Undrafted wide receiver Fred Stamps, who averaged 16 yards a catch at Louisiana-Lafayette last season, translated that big-play ability to the NFL right away Saturday night with a spectacular, diving reception for a touchdown over rookie cornerback Chris Thompson on a pass from David Garrard. The sliding grab drew a big cheer from the crowd and even applause from Garrard.

Fifth-round pick Chris Thompson didn't allow a touchdown pass during his entire Division I-AA college career ... but ... beaten on a long touchdown catch by fellow rookie Fred Stamps. LINK

Del Rio told reporters that rookie wide receiver Fred Stamps strained his shoulder while making a diving catch in Saturday night's practice, and rookie running back Rich Alexis is nursing a strained quad muscle. LINK

Does anyone know what "strained his shoulder" might entail?

I have personal experience with a level 3 strain in the shoulder (Rugby!)

If there is no tear in the ligament, he'll be fine in neaux time. Probably hit the ground with his shoulder and "stretched" the ligament(s).

I was lifting weights and such a week after my injury, but thats because I was "ignant" as to what the problem was and being a tough guy until I noticed my left shoulder was lower than my right shoulder....

2006   They are desperate young men whose football careers hang in the balance. Cortez Hankton and Fred Stamps hope to cap strong play in the first week of training camp with an attention-getting performance in Friday night's scrimmage. “They're fighting to make the team. They've both had real good camps. They catch the ball very well and adjust to it very well. They have to grab your attention,” wide receivers coach Steve Walters said. Hankton is a four-year veteran who is in his restricted free agency year. He is at the nexus of his pro football career. What he does this season will probably determine the direction of the rest of his career. Stamps is a three-year journeyman who has yet to stick on a roster. He's bounced between the Jaguars' and the Ravens' practice squads. Now, after a solid week in this Jaguars training camp, Stamps hopes he'll get the opportunity to do something special in the preseason that might allow him to stick on an active roster. “It's tough. It's real tough. You put so much into it, trying to be a team member, then it's time to cut the roster and you're no longer around,” Stamps said. “I'm fighting every day. I feel pretty good. I should have a pretty good shot.” Yeah, you'd think he'd have a pretty good shot on a team with an uncertain situation at wide receiver. The only thing the Jaguars know for sure about their wide receivers this year is that Jimmy Smith won't lead them in yards receiving, as he had for 10 consecutive seasons. The mantle will be passed this year to someone. Who that someone is remains unknown. The rest of the story Vic Ketchman jaguars.com

Bryan from Jacksonville: Did Fred Stamps' touchdown catch look as good as it sounded on the radio? I've never heard of the guy before. Vic: That's why I wrote the feature story on him last Thursday. He looked great through the first week of training camp and, if he did something dramatic in the scrimmage, he was going to leap into prominence. His 35-yard touchdown catch was very impressive. He reached out and caught the ball on his fingertips, tucked it away and turned his hips upfield to get into the end zone, and he did it all in one motion. Best of all, he did it gracefully. He almost made it look easy. The source of the story Vic Ketchman Jaguars.com
