Pre AFCCG Injury Watch Thread

I expect him to cover Edelman and Edelman to get more YAC than he would normally get.

Yea. Denver is better off moving Talib over to him as he is a pretty decent tackler.

But then Harris needs to deal with DA.

I am pleading with JMD to reintroduce the WR screen/slip screen back into the offense. They should run that play until DEN proves they can stop it.

Was just looking through JE11's stats. Did you know last year in the playoffs, he had 9 punt returns for 143 yards? Guy is a huge play maker for NE.

He is but because of his foot, using him for punts might not be a good thing to do this year.

I agree. Miss his ability to make someone whiff and get upfield for a nice return on those punts. Along with his sure hands!

If you go by the numbers hes one of the best punt returners over the last 30 years.

Dola is one of the best in the league as well, so they should be covered.

We have that Rutgers LB Kevin Snyder on PS, he's supposed to be a 2 down run stopper type. Could see him being the replacement.

Dang!! Though he wasn't the same this year, I was really hoping he would do more in the playoffs. Bummer!

Not necessarily, he said "cautiously optimistic" and "healing will dictate". Remember, an injury of any significance now has less than 3 weeks to heal for the player to be useful.

In playoffs, most players who are hurt will try their best to play unless impossible. That was Mayo's mindset until test results came back.

Thats a shame. It must be really messed up.

Could be but not must be. Super Bowl is in 20 days.

Yea. I would think he would do whatever he could to play. He just can't do it.

 

[VrabelMayeWin]

Everyone at walkthrough except for Tre Jackson (and, Mayo but we know he's gone).

That's great news.

Is it just me, or does Chris Harris have the face of a guy who could be eligible for the Special Olympics?

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Chris Harris is just playing us

 

[Patjew]

Slater? That's surprising seeing he spoke at the press conference today?
