We are NOT gonna turn this into "Yet Another Beasley Thread". The NFL is basing their policy on data that while the viral titer in infected vaxxed vs. unvaxxed people measures the same initially, it declines more quickly in vaccinated people and there is lower spread. If their protocols don't turn out to be sufficient to contain spread within teams, the NFL will revise them. Send your registered letter explaining this to the NFL's chief medical officer (and Vandy professor) Dr. Allen Stills. I'm sure he'll be happy to hear that the protocols the NFL's medical committee developed based on reviewing the latest research make no sense, and will give your objections his earliest attention.

No. No, we're not.

Explained here. https://www.profootballnetwork.com/how-the-nfls-covid-19-rules-are-different-for-vaccinated-and-unvaccinated-players/ Vaccinated: Upon a positive COVID-19 test, a player can return if: 1) He has two negative PCR tests taken at least 24 hours apart, and 2) He is asymptomatic for 48 hours. Unvaccinated: Minimum 10-day quarantine after a positive COVID-19 test. So if Rodgers tested positive yesterday and were vaccinated, all he would need is a negative test and no symptoms Thursday and Friday (or even Friday and Saturday if they can work out the travel arrangements) and he'd be Good to Go. No, this is incorrect, see above. There is a difference in protocol for positive covid tests, based on data about how viral titer behaves. He was playing word games. He got some alternative treatment he petitioned the NFL to recognize and the NFL's medical officers said "Ah, No." It does make me wonder if they've recognized anything else, for example being vaccinated with an inactivated virus vaccine that is approved in other countries but not in US.

Could you bring her coffin to Green Bay for a tryout?

For vaccinated, asymptomatic people, sometimes but not always. Hence the basis for the NFL policy - but also the reason vaxxed Davante Adams missed a game, he didn't meet the 2 neg tests 24 hrs apart in time to join the team.

Can I channel Metallica and hope that the soothing light at the end of their tunnel, is just a Freight Train headed their way?

I think we shouldn't take the Jaguars or any other team so lightly. I may get BBQd for this but with one of Josh's best friends Gentry and another QB Fromm both on the Covid list, it's not out of the question that Trubisky may be starting because Josh winds up on said Covid list also. I agree with this post completely. Wait. What just happened?

Have you looked at the year-to-year variance in Adams, Kupp, Woods, Hopkins etc R/G and Y/G? What is it?

3:40 am Tuesday morning, so basically, yeah.

@Rochesterfan and @Bangarang know what they're talking about. It's possible the LVPD goofed, but typically big PDs have a pretty cut-and-dried setup for chain of custody, legally admissible calibrated tests, and obtaining a warrant, and then there are the lab results from the hospital's own tests which will not meet legal standards on their own but will corroborate.

A little note that the loaded gun in the car doesn't have the same significance in Nevada as it would in NYS, assuming it is a handgun and not a long weapon: So depending upon the ownership details and location of the loaded handgun (in a glove box or console or in a bag vs. on his person), it is probably legal. Of course as with Texas, Nevada may have a "gotcha" law where a legal gun becomes illegal if you're committing a felony while you possess it.

Monday night/Tuesday am is the normal "Football Player Weekend", since they normally travel or workout Saturday then work on Sunday. Monday they come to the facility for treatment and to watch game film/get their corrections. Tuesday the coaches work on the next week's game plan, while the players have the day off - some may come to the facility for treatment or recovery activities So Monday Night/Tues AM is the 'danger zone' for these Young Sahibs. I don't know if he still does (for sure Covid put the kibbosh on it in 2020), but Josh had Monday night parties at his house in 2019. Beasley and others talked about it. They watched MNF and ate pizza and wings, or played group games like Mafia (and probably drank) - one benefit of this strategy being if one guy got sloshed, probably one or more of his teammates were sober enough to dial up an UBER and roll them into it. And unlike at an "After Hours Club" in the city, their wheels should be safe and sound there until they fetch 'em.

Yeah. Although if it's true that they've already charged him and booked him into jail (which is what's being reported), I would say law enforcement is pretty durn sure. https://news.yahoo.com/raiders-henry-ruggs-iii-booked-132249842.html Above article states that Ruggs girlfriend/babymama was "seriously injured" in the accident, so prayers for her too. On the other hand as the article points out: Article about this - Jacobs was originally "booked" for DUI, but not charged after his blood tests showed he was "legal" So evidently it may be SOP in Vegas to book everyone for DUI without waiting for the blood test results, and sort it out afterwards? Which goes to my questions about the differences between the Britt Reid case which took like 6 weeks to file charges vs. this case, where DUI charges were like, overnight - apparently Vegas works by the principle "book 'em all and let the lab tests sort it out later" vs "this is Missouri, you have to Show Me". I was said to be talking and responding, but I have no memory between leaving our house and the hospital about 3 hrs later. PSA: after our accident, we are big fans of dashcams in our house. We have front and rear. The person who hit us, claimed that my daughter had run a red light and turned left in front of them. Unfortunately for that person, the accident was witnessed by a St Louis Fire and Rescue unit that was driving behind them and saw the red light THEY ran and their complete and total failure to brake or attempt to evade the crash by moving into the available white-hashed empty lane to their right. The paramedics pulled up as spouse was calling 911, and the police followed shortly - the paramedics must have called them. Fam got photos of the car that hit us with the driver still in the seat and the airbags deployed, having traveled straight ahead through the intersection. But we figure we can't always be so lucky. So far the only use the dashcams have had is to provide the State Highway Patrol pictures and video of a fatal SUV-motorcycle crash we witnessed (the motorcyclist died, and the photo and video evidence probably spared the two HS girls who hit the motorcycle from some nasty court battles since it showed the motorcyclist entering the intersection at a high rate of speed on a red light, after the girls had started their legal L turn) Anyway, these cameras keep getting simpler to install and lower in cost, so 100% recommend looking into them. They can easily save you their cost and more in legal fees or insurance deductibles. This is true I think you got it - wording suggests Ruggs was drinking, he was drinking somewhere where there will be a bar tab to show he was drinking and how much - he just thinks he wasn't "over the limit".

I think that's the gap the NFLPA tried to fill with their service which does not notify teams. That said they probably have some procedure - a phone number or something - that the guys have to program into their phones ahead of time and then remember when they're boozed up to their eyeballs.

*chuckle* Correct - Allen's pocket time, which Pro Football Reference defines as "average time between snap and throwing the ball or collapse of the pocket" is listed as 10th, but tied for 6th (must be differences in the 2nd digit, not shown). That's being given a good amount of time to throw - though I'm uncertain as to how they define it - if Allen rolls out before the pocket collapses and buys himself an extra second, does that inflate this metric? Just as Allen has the 2nd best sack % in the league, but that probably does not speak to OL quality because he's so good at escaping pressure and evading sacks. Some things, like # of hits, absolutely do reflect how long the QB holds the ball. When Big Ben Roeth was playing a quick passing game last season where he got the ball out before pressure got there, he had one of the lowest hit % in the league because the ball was gone long before the rushers got there. Unfortunately Pro-football-reference doesn't explain how a bunch of their stuff is calculated. I suspect they get their stats from somewhere else who might define more fully but they don't say where. I'd like to understand how they define hurries, for example. If Allen has to throw perhaps before he wants to, but he's on his 3rd read and meanwhile he's got 2 guys open short whom he's not choosing, is that a hurry? Stats usually mean something, but not always what one thinks they mean. That latter could be. And they did look kind of sketchy at first, but they seemed to make adjustments and settle in, in the 2nd half.

The reason there were so many screens in the 2Q and beyond (15) was that the Dolphins were blitzing a lot and showing a lot of Cover 0. The two classic ways to deal with overload blitzes and Cover 0 are screens, or if you can protect long enough a deep route to the middle of the field. The Diggs TD was an example of the latter, the 2Q plays were the former. If we'd managed to sustain drives in the 2Q I'm sure the Dolphins would have gotten out of it, as they did in the 2nd half.

Serious answer: this is an inappropriate way to lead off a civil discussion about football on here. It's what you do when you're looking for a fight, not a discussion. You get a free pass here because you're dealing with a mod, but I absolutely will not engage with someone who starts off this way, and that's a (one) free pass. Knock it off and stay civil.

I believe teams do, but it's said the players don't want to use it. They don't necessarily want the teams to know what they're up to. At least as of a few years back, the NFLPA offered a car service that does not report who uses it to the teams. You could both pre-plan rides and call in an emergency.

Cover1 breakdown on Ed Oliver's game against the Dolphins Deserved that game ball IMHO

Raiders now have an opening in the WR room Too soon?

FIFY

Some good info here (subscription probably required, trial available) https://theathletic.com/2930715/2021/11/02/whats-next-for-henry-ruggs-iii-and-the-raiders-after-wr-is-involved-in-fatal-car-accident/?source=spotrac&pc=spotrac40off2 Ruggs chose to drink (assuming reports are correct) and chose to get in the car and probably drove pretty recklessly if he smashed into another car so hard it caught fire. That's not "on" the Raiders. But I hope they still stand by their guy enough to make sure he's got whatever psychological or emotional support and treatment he may need.

Never know, he might be rested and rehabbed

So much for waiting while all the facts come out.

I thought Vrabel said "no timeline for his return" https://news.yahoo.com/doctor-explains-expect-derrick-henrys-141000938.html It's 6-10 weeks for typical healing, but then it would surely be advisable to have some period of rehab and conditioning, unless he wants to risk re-injury or lingering effects.
