It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Yeah, I wonder what 85 percent means for an O-Lineman, especially considering it's a knee. Still, I have to think Stork at 85 percent is better than no Stork. In fact, I'd be a lot more nervous about the game if Stork could not go.85 percent wish he was little healthier, still glad he's playing.
Overall it has been a good season injury wise, lost Mayo and Ridley and that is about it.. Makes a nice change from some previous years. Sure is good to have a healthy Gronk.
Is Mayo in AZ?
good news
but if stork starts to struggle, then wendy will slide over to center
don't think his 4 year old daughter made the trip alone...Is Mayo in AZ?
Nobody is saying he'll start, just that he's a go.Couple things. I'm not seeing anywhere he's probable to start. Isn't it generally meant just probable to play. And at 85%, is any NFL player better than his capable backup? I wouldn't be surprised if NE starts same OL as IND. With a few trial Stork rotations. Leaving him in only if Stork looks good & game speed ready. He may not be ready to start and play whole game most likely anyway. Which leads to point #2...
Very strange for BB to announce this, now, with this player. Why? Its an important position for sure, and probable SEA attack focal point I would think. Gotta be some gamesmanship here, theorizing maybe BB indeed thinks they might be going after Kline/Wendy. Throw some doubt in there. But really, would this announcement have any impact on SEA game plan tonight even if they 100% wanted to change it. No time. Weird. Also even if he is now 100% healthy, why say anything at all. If I was coach, I'd only do this if he was actually MORE hurt than people thought. Keep them off the scent maybe, along with all the positive practice reports all week. I don't know. Just seems unusual. Maybe its nothing. Anyway, we'll see tomorrow.
