Cute. Without getting too specific, which would get his ### chewed out, he works within the injured players. If you don't want my information that's fine. You've seemed to have a chip on your shoulder about me so I doubt you really value what I have to say or where I get my information from anyways.
Just busting your balls...I had seriously just read McCarthy's comments on twitter when I read your post and it was about the same as what he said.
Again, depends on the extent of the fractures. I don't have details on that, and I likely won't get any details.
I did read this and that is very interesting. Dorsey has proven to be pretty darn solid. Would love to have him back. It makes the Wolf scenarios all the more interesting as well. Wolf is highly regarded, but he might need a bit more experience before he sits in the GM chair.
I would agree with this completely.
You're more optimistic than I am. I have a feeling deep down that agrees with you but I am getting some major concerns about the spleen... If that is at all enlarged he may not be clear to play at all, because if enlarged he could rupture it and be in a life threatening situation. And you don't take a hit like that and come away with zero injury to the spleen; the spleen is actually relatively superficial and right behind the ribs he fractured. If the swelling at the spleen comes down he would be cleared to practice and it would be strictly a pain tolerance issue. Which in that case I do agree that Jordy would play.
Its interesting they blocked Elliot Wolf from interviewing last year, but allowed him to interview this year. It would be foolish to read anything of substance into that, but as armchair joe-six-pack fans that's what we do - we speculate wildly based on baseless assumptions. Therefore, I've decided their succession plan likely does not include Wolf. Dorsey would be great. He, Schneider, and McKenzie are all guys with ties to Green Bay who have had actual NFL executive success. Somewhat surprisingly to me, Schneider is only 45 and was born/raised in DePere.
IMO that has more to do with keeping a budding executive from going to a division rival than anything else
It's possible Wolf didn't want to go do Detroit. I'm 95% sure it was from Andrew Brandt, but I did read on Twitter last week that oftentimes the team declines the interview on behalf of the candidate to save a little face.
Well they were ranked #1 against the run when they played Dallas earlier this year and the Cowboy gained over 190 on the ground. The run defense ranking is a complete misnomer because they are so easy to pass on.
From that logic one could also say that GB's passing offense (7) is not really as good as they are because their run offense (20) is so abysmal. See the flaw in that logic?
Also interesting that all the guys you mentioned, Schneider, McKenzie, and Dorsey have their teams in the playoffs. Amazing to think they all came out the Green Bay front office.
happened September 4... not sure he was more than a roster after thought at that time. I honestly don't know where he was in regard to the roster at that time... I think we were still hoping for Abby to pan out
It's a decent point however the Cowboys haven't played anyone of significance or competitive since 11/13...
Exactly what I was going to ask. How do the Cowboys stack up by comparison, as that only covered Green Bay's side. Be curious to see those stats.
Murphy is damn good at what he is doing though. Leave the football guys run the football side. He expands the business. He and Harlan before him found ways to make revenue when no football is being played. Something that needed to be done in that market.
That's great and all but what about when it comes time to hire that next GM? Perhaps the most important decision he'll have to make. He gets that wrong, the team goes in to a losing period of several years, it'll be much harder to make additional revenue no matter how many restaurants, hotels or sled hills he builds.
Well...he hasn't had to do that yet. Considering how he has handled everything else in his job, why should I be worried?
Capers is a magician - putting a defense out there with band-aids and string holding it together. For me the big difference last night was coaching. Both teams made mistakes, but Dallas made multiple dumb shoot-yourself-in-the-foot type mistakes that come from being unprepared. Perhaps also down to youth and inexperience in a big playoff game, but it seemed to me they weren't at the level of preparation the game needed.
This is my absolute favorite celebration at the moment. Perry may have played himself into a new deal as well. He's making plays with one hand right now.
1. I will gladly eat crow on Capers. You're right, he is holding this team together with band-aids. He made some key adjustments to play with no-namers to keep the game within reach for the offense
Jimmy Johnson looked like he was crying in the post game recap. Face all red. Eyes looked a little watery
Jordy looks just fine moving around... granted not taking hits or running but for a guy who reportedly was "working on just breathing" he seemed to be okay. For those who think he's very questionable this week... I think he plays.
with Rodgers? Looks like Van Pelt to me... maybe a little greyer and bearded.
I did not laugh. He should get his head instantly to what he should be doing next. Save the celebrating for after the game. That tendency, to self glorify and demonstrate is the same mind set that cost the Cowboys. They were celebrating, then late substituting, and the next thing you know the announcers are doing a post mortem centering on Rodgers ability to catch a team out on a mental error and to make them pay. I'm old school on this, but for good reason.
Yea, I hope so too. But my first thought is, no chance at all.
Me too. Against Atlanta I would like to see him healthy and Rollins back and able to substantially contribute.
I suspect a bruised spleen or kidney. The ribs wont heal in two weeks, nor the cartilage which was also likely traumatized, but those are primarily pain management unless completely broken through, which is rare, cracked and torn is more likely. The organs can heal in that time sufficient to paly safely, depending on the injury.
I'm pretty sure he has an enlarged spleen. At least that's what I'm hearing. When the swelling goes down, he can play. Until then, no go.
