My initial thought was that Julio didn't really start out similarly but he actually did.
They both had the "Jones fracture" with the accompanying surgery too, right? Same or very similar injury?
OK, I lied - one more post. lol
More than likely the forcing they do in the passing game will be to McCoy, 2 yards down field with 3 LBs bearing down on him as he catches the ball.
Is this actually true? I mean, he had surgery in Spring, and was sitting out this entire time to heal and clear his pain thresholds. Is it possible after ~8 weeks that the bone is still broken (bones usually heal in 3-6 weeks depending on bone, severity/complexity of break, etc.)?
After listening to the interview, coupled with the declarations a week or two ago that his foot was 100% healed, I'm not entirely certain I believe the claim that his foot still has a broken bone in it. Who really knows at this point. If he's declared active, and if the coaches believe he'll play on Sunday, he'll be in my line-up (over Hopkins, and over Diggs as long as Diggs is dealing with this knee injury. He's pretty much filling that vacancy left by AJ Green for me).
Agreed - it would be absolutely irresponsible for the Bills to put Watkins on the field instead of under the knife, or at least at rest, with a still-broken foot. I would expect Watkins' agent would get involved if that were the case, even if Watkins himself wanted to play. Otherwise it will probably be uncertain whether he is ready again come next September...RenegadeRoy said:
Sort of like when they showed such great responsibility and restraint with an injured McCoy?
Thankfully you don't have access to that.
Not quite, but we're at least 3 of your trolling me in this topic alone.
Right - because I responded once to him after noticing he's been trolling me over multiple pages in someone else's quote.
Good choice so far on Dez.
I don't think that's been in doubt. It's the conflicting statements from the OC and not knowing how many snaps he'll play that have folks nervous. As you saw on that one deep hit, he won't need to be out there all game to be productive. But then again, if he didn't bring in that deep pass his FFB day wouldn't have been much to write home about.
I started Dez as well. I know I will start OBJ...then between M Thomas, Watkins, or Mitchell. Prolly M Thomas in the WR #3 spot.
Dude - this kind of well thought out, reasonable, balanced response has no place in the FAA. Kindly show yourself to the door.
Doesn't help when his OC says he has a broken foot and doesn't know if he'll play 1 snap or 20. He had one big play last week and already missed some practice time this week. Doesn't sound very healthy to me.
Are you in a must win situation this week with absolutely no other WR options on your roster?
Not really. Just not sure Watkins is a guy i wanted to rely on given this foot injury. I've already clinched a playoff spot. I've got OBJ at WR1 and holding a gimpy AJ Green taking up another spot. Other receivers on my roster i just picked up are Tyreek Hill and Taylor Gabriel and have Pryor in reserve on bye. I figured between Hill, Gabriel, and Mitchell pickups a better chance one or more may hit to cover for AJ and/or flex. Gronk news made me jump on Mitchell before someone else did.
I would have dropped AJG before dropping Watkins. At least Watkins is going to play.
