On To Houston: Playoff Practice/Info Thread

Bad news about Blount, hopefully he'll get better by Saturday night, but all things being considered, we are going into this game in pretty good shape.

Maybe he doesn't suit up. He's been fantastic this season - but aren't we ok w White/Lewis this weekend ? I know they can't take anyone for granted, but this Houston squad isn't as strong as any of the other 7 left...

Some semi-insight but we will take anything at this point.

Might be a little dim today but what does Howe mean by joint recover time from the illness? Does he mean it took a long time to recover based on the illness or it was a short recovery time based on seriousness of the illness?

He may be right, but I doubt BB shares this info with him - especially if he is going to talk about it. It is easier to get gold out of Fort Knox.

makes sense, big picture.......they need the special teams capability of amendola

it also appears that floyd is fully integrated....his size/toughness provides more versatility

It means Jeff Howe thinks he and Blount had the same illness and Jeff is recovered now, so he knows how long it should take Blount to recover.

HIPA only dreams of protecting the dissemination of medical information as well as BB does.

Never practiced martial arts but loved the Bruce Lee movies as a kid.

The showdown with Chuck Norris was epic.

Anyone else concerned that the team may be overestimating the Texans? They will end up playing too hard and could cost themselves the game by giving the Texans players more respect than needed.

Yes. If we try too hard we could get injured and tired for next week.

Yea I've kinda had that feeling all week as well

The only way Blount misses the game is if he's dead.
