[slash83]

Prob see Jonnu get some carries tomorrow.

What's Blount doing these days? Would be fun to see him punch the Dolts in the mouth again.

How that Grey dude? Wouldn't it be fun to see him go for 240 or whatever on the Colts again

 

[venecol]

My question is why is he on the list for 18 days?

Sounds like he can play tomorrow. LOL

They may use Smith and WRs on sweeps but 2 RBs is still pretty thin for a balanced attack. Anyone know the last time we went in with 2 RBs? I seem to recall in the last few years but pretty unusual right?

Belichick on carrying only 2 RBs: ‘Certainly not ideal'

FOXBORO — The Patriots are very accustomed to bringing new players into their locker room during the season, but the acclimation process is different for each. For someone like receiver Keshawn Martin, the transition may be relatively smooth. He was acquired in a trade with the Texans earlier...

Sounds like a ponzi scheme

Also, nothing like a company description that leaves you understanding less about what someone does after you read it.

Sucks but better not to take chances and damage his prospects in the playoffs.

We all knew Mac is going to have to throw a bit and I think he will.

They'll likely elevate Ozigbo from the PS. Possibly line up Jonnu Smith or Kendrick Bourne there for outside sweeps..

 

[SlowGettingUp]

My question is why is he on the list for 18 days?

Presumably he's had a bad case and has not yet fully recovered. Extremely unlikely still testing positive.

Coming back too soon risks myocarditis (as with the ex-Red Sox pitcher, ERod).

Incidence of myocarditis in professional athletes post-Covid is 0.6%

Is taylor officially out as well? So rham and bolden the only rb’s?

They have Ozigbo on the PS whom they can elevate.

 

[DaBruinz]

I said after the Chiefs game last year that Harris has the look of a future star in this league.

I'm not going to give him the glass label but that won't happen if he can't stay on the field. Wouldn't surprise me if this is testing Bill's patience with him.

Why would it be testing Bill's patience? The MEDICAL staff are the ones who gave Harris the OK to go back into the game against the Bills and it resulted in him worsening the injury..

Taylor has been on the Reserve/Covid list for while now.

I am not all that scared about this. With the small size of the Colts' front seven, Stevenson might be the better option to run against them. Harris is not a Woodhead sized RB, but Stevenson is still considerably bigger than Harris. Probably has 15-20 pounds on Harris.

Harris is out Saturday.

Stevenson, it is.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Im ok if harris is out a few weeks, having both rham and harris is a luxury but rham is a capable feature back by himself too. Mac might hafta throw a little more but still expect an effective rush attack. Priority is having harris healthy for the playoffs

Don't forget that they've called some runs with Bourne.

Huh?

This is the same approach some posters took re: describing Belichick's "patience" regarding Wynn before this season - and all that meant was Wynn playing in every game this season with only the Dallas game a low snap count.

The only time past injury history is even a factor is contract renegotiation time. If a player is available he practices and those practice results dictate playing time. If he isn't available, the players that are get evaluated the same way.

Look at how many times he benched/replaced Gronk as soon as he came off the injury report right? All that lost patience with injuries...

Better off with Jonas Gray
