PENNINGTON not practicing!!

Fishhead · Jan 13, 2005

Chad Pennington missed practice Wednesday with a stomach virus.

Pennington may not be able to practice Thursday, but coach Herman Edwards is confident his franchise player will be ready for Saturday's playoff game against Pittsburgh

PS- John Madden mentioned this in one of his books a long time ago and that is that after a player recovers from a short illness such as the flu, they more times than not come up with a better than average game then they are accustomed to.

Took note of that over the years since i read that, and be damned if he wasnt right.

Will test the theory this weekend again.

ALSO from the article

**************

Chad is the leader of this team. His play takes this team to a whole other level. When he's on point, a lot of other things can go wrong and we still seem to get the job done. We need that.''

Missing a few days of practice could disturb his rhythm and his preparation for the biggest game of the season. Meanwhile, defensive end John Abraham also is questionable with a sprained right knee and practiced Wednesday and would be a game-time decision.
