Heap injured? This is about as shocking as the sun coming up this morning!

I will withold judgment. I've called him soft in these blogs before, as have others. This is his chance to prove us wrong.

Come on Heap. Stay healthy please!

Softest TE in the league...

Heap isn't soft; he's made of glass. There's a big difference. He'll play through pain, but he's always in pain.

All of you idiots who call Heap "soft", or dare mention him as "the softest tight end in the league" need to shut your mouths cause you know nothing about professional football. If you all call yourselves Ravens fans then I am ashamed to consider myself one because you do nothing but rant and rave about Heap's injuries instead of his "balls to the wall" style. How many times has Heap laid out across the middle and rammed head on into opposing defenders??? Heap is not soft and you haters can go cheer for the colts.

Heap is one of the most reckless players when it comes to taking care of his body. He has only had 2 seasons where he has been injured, but if you think of times he has simply sacrificed his body to catch the ball, and popped right back up (Adrian Wilson vs Todd Heap, Week 3), there is no way the word "soft" can even be brought up. I dare you to throw yourselves in front of the train, then talk smack. Until then, these are completely worthless statements to make. I'm with Laker on this one. Cheer for the Chiefs or the Chargers if you want a "tougher" tight end, I'll take the "Stormin' Mormon" any day of the week!

You tell them Laker. If any of them ever really watched a game, they MIGHT see how he gives his body up like few others, and it costs him dearly. I can't help but think some of those listed above would just curl up and cry for mommy under the same pressure

Heaps nickname in college was Charmin, the softest TE around. Last time I checked football was a contact sport, so why are you all crying he isnt soft he just gets hit. AND????

I saw the Heap injury when it happened today. It appeared that he had a preexisting condition, as his leg was somewhat wrapped during the beginning of practice.. When he reinjured himself, or created a new injury, he was simply running out for a pass, stretched out for the ball, then limped off to the sideline. It was evident he was in pain, as he was bending over at the waist, and trying to stretch his leg out.
I wouldn't say Heap is soft, I just think he has bad luck with nagging injuries.
As far as calling out other fans telling them they're not "professional football players" and they couldn't take hits in the NFL; I think many people may be surprised what some people can take and do with their bodies. Calling people out, is about as illogical as calling Heap soft.

They should use Heap as a WR. The guy is by far the best offensive weapon they have. Why use him at a position where he has to block and take hits against linemen or LB's. No corner could stay with him. He is tough as nails and has played hurt. He takes vicious hits and still holds on to the ball. Too bad they dont have depth, because Quinn getting hurt really hurts the team. He could have started at tight end and been more of a blocker and heap could be used in some many different ways.

The guy is a gamer - all the guys on here talking about him being soft sound like mike "doughnut" preston. Always negative. Teams double heap all the time - and he still dominates with a poor qb and line. I like that they are keeping Brown, Yanda and Grubbs together. No sense in moving them around. They will be a good unit, just need a RT & LT. Suggs is a punk for missing camp. He is still going to make 8+ million this year. He doesnt want to be part of a team. If he doesnt show in a week, i would trade him away. You can get good value for him. Also, the packers are trying to pay Farve more then 20 million to retire, however, what most people seem to realize is that the organization has plenty of players that have asked for financial assistance, guys that have no place to live, food stamps, and no money and the Packers have blown them off. Farve should retire, and give 10 million to the Packer Alumni - His image would continue to glow.

He would also be shoving up the GB organization, who should trade him to wherever he wants to play. They don't want him. Their coach should realize he still has a job because of what Farve did last year without a RB for half the season. People forget so fast.

Heap appears to be reckless or play with his "balls to the wall" because he is not as athletic or does not have the field sense of most most top-tier NFL tight ends. If he was, he would avoid most of those hits that have endeared him to Baltimorons. The guy is a first round draft pick with 27 touchdowns in 7 years in a tight end-friendly offense. That's an average of fewer than 4 TDs per season...fewer than one in every 4 games he's been eligible to play in. Why all the love?

What's with P.J. Daniels? He has been out with cramps for over a week. How long can cramps last? I think there is more to his injury that we are being told.

Heap is the most injured TE ever to set foot on the field. He redefines the term "soft".
