Was he back in the 2nd half? The game was not on TV here.

 

[Mack Herron]

no. Did not look like he would be back any time soon.

 

[TheBeers]

No somebody very big landed on his leg, hyper-extending his knee. He couldn't really put weight on it heading to the sideline. It's not good news but at least that is a position that we have depth at. Maroney and BJGE ran very very well today.

Maroney had a good game looking at the stat's.
We SHOULD be able to run on the Bucs next week. Carolina ran it like 15 of 16 plays to score one TD and they knew it was coming so.....

I think I have seen this thread before, at least once a year.

Nice role player, not his fault he is made out of glass.

do you think we pick up a free agent if the injury is serious?

Fortunately, amputees have access to wonderful prosthethes these days

This could be a significant blow. The only upside I can see is that Maroney and the line miraculously start to click in Morris's absence (if the injury's major).

Hyperextending it sideways (on the inside), almost like Mayo's injury.

Hopefully he or Taylor can come back within the next few weeks.

We have a pseudo bye then a real bye which will help. We can get by with Maroney, BJGE and Faulk, by the time they're all hurt then hopefully Morris or Taylor will be back.

Don't forget our shadow roster RB:

PP35!

I think I'd prefer to run the wildcat with Edelman before bringing Patrick back

Im actually surprised we never tried a play like this yet

I have no doubt it's in the playbook. To be run at some point, likely this year but at the right moment.

Well i say that because Edelman took some snaps at QB in TC. So no doubt it at least crossed their collective minds. But maybe its just a little too much to soon.

If your going to do it, do it against a good team like the Colts.

Maybe they are saving it for the Miami game.

I'm sure they have a plan for it - the Dolphins ***** slapped the Jest with theirs although Ronnie Brown and Edelman would clearly run very different Wildcats - or Wildpats are ours would have to be called :rocker:
