He looked good. Was running hard, had some nifty moves and seemed to laying some punishing hits.
Not officially yet (they have til Saturday to make all their IR moves) but this was from profootballtalk:
Week 7, I.R 3 games at least.. Shanny saying recovery will be longer..
There's no way I cut the chord now without first seeing him on IR.
Coleman is the ultimate suck. The Shanny system has made him serviceable, but every other RB I have ever seen in the same Shanny system at the same time as Coleman have looked worlds better. Shanny knows more about scheming and running an offense more than all of us combined, I got to believe he finally sees a little bit of this now.kyoun1e said:
I didn't know this and think you are probably correct. According to Bramel and others, the mechanism didn't seem to show a severe HAS, but who knows. If it doesn't happen by today, I'd say there is hope he only misses 2-3 weeks.
While possible, I think there are other factors involved in these decisions; perhaps that we aren't privy to.
A lot of it has to do with if they need the roster spot for someone else. The reason they go on IR is to free up a roster spot for another player. If they don't have someone they really need there is no reason to go on IR.
question: so hypothetically, they don't IR him this week, but wind up needing the roster spot next week--won't the minimum 3 week stint on IR be pushed back a week?
Of course that’s true. And that’s one of the possible other reasons for not IRing him yet. But you can place a player on IR without adding another player. So, needing/not needing the roster spot doesn’t fully explain why Dak wasn’t IR’ed for over a week. They knew he wasn’t coming back, so there had to be another factor(s) that led to the delay. Perhaps contractual language? Maybe something incentive-based? I don’t know; I’m just speculating. Best-case scenario, SF doesn’t IR Mostert b/c they think he can make it back sooner than 3 weeks. My point was merely that there could be other reasons he hasn’t been placed on IR yet.
I was agreeing with you in the original comment. There are many reasons to delay the actual placement on IR and it really is only needed to do when the team absolutely needs the roster spot.
I have no idea if the NFL has a similar system to MLB. In MLB you can place a guy on the IL retroactive to the last game he actually played in so the player doesn't have to be on the IL but can still count the time as long as he never played in a game back to the retroactive date. I do not know if the NFL has this same ability...….I tend to think they do not which means if he isn't placed on IR before this week's game then the three weeks get extended (at least that is my guess).
From today.. scroll down to bottom of article
"Maybe Raheem Mostert."
Hes saying Maybe Mostert back after week 11. The first article I linked clearly says he's headed to IR. The 49ers are famous for waiting til Friday or just before the Saturday deadline to announce the last IR moves for the week.
I think the person that submits the IR stuff gets time and a half for working on Saturday.
Finally! I have no idea why they wait so long - some day they're going to have a problem with their fax machine or something and not get it in time. Once you've made the decision to put a player on IR, just do it. I don't see any point to the shenanigans.Wingnut said:
They promoted a RB from the practice squad, so I imagine he won’t play until after their bye
