I don't know what specialty of physician you are, but can I say you're both right? One cause of 5th metatarsal fractures is, in fact, overuse - "repetitive microtrauma", see link above for one. Otherwise, injuries can be random and not necessarily linked to playing time I say "necessarily" because we do have one guy here who makes the argument that some players make themselves injury prone by their style of play. I was resistant to this POV, but there is a point that if a guy never gives up on a play with a bigger stronger player who has positional leverage, he is more likely to get injured.

I don't know. I'm one who believes that Tannehill is a much better QB than many on here believed (he got Gased in Miami). But, there's no question that the Titans whole offense is currently designed around King Henry. Their passing game is open when teams try to contain him. Uncertain whether Todd Downing can revamp the offense to work differently, if he's out for any length of time. (I'm pumping the brakes on the "season ending" talk just yet)

OMG, horrible news for them and for him

If he wants $7M, we can't pay him even if he's fully in football shape and wants to play

This could just be me, but I think when a lineman has his helmet go flying off, something illegit probably happened to cause that occurrance

According to Wiki as well as to your link, you got that swapped: Warford was released by the Saints, THEN decided to opt out of the 2020 season. So the question is why did they release him? Was it just a cap thing, or was his play declining to where it wasn't worth the $7M salary? He doesn't seem to have looked for a team in 2021. I'd guess he no longer has the "fire in his belly" to play ball

This. I agree the IOL needs fixin. I wanted some fixin done in the off season. But what you said. Mid-season options are typically limited. Brown is gonna have a learning curve at RT, and I'm not sure Williams was always "on the same page" at guard. It did seem better than Ford-Williams. Our other guard options on the team are Ike, Mongo, and Bates. Where's the improvement?

Bills win by fifteen Tua goes off the field Win hopes debris left As I quaff a brew I remember the days when Two score wins pleased us

? seems to be a lot of folks here discussing flaws or is that what you are objecting to? You mean, the guy who was doing worse than McKenzie during training camp, who has been on IR for 8 weeks, and who has yet to play in a regular season NFL game? Yeah, for reals, he'd be sure fire guaranteed to never muff a punt or fumble <- sarcasm

The conclusion I drew is that “Josh” and “Zen” don’t go together in McDermott’s mind. Sort of like talking about a “Vegan Tiger” or a “gentle Cage Fight” or something like that

Funny moment in McDermott’s postgame presser About 5:50 in, reporter mentions Josh spoke of “finding his Inner Zen” and….McDermott interrupts and said “Josh called it finding his Inner Zen?” “Yeah” McDermott just cracked a big disbelieving grin that drew a laugh from the room https://youtu.be/LKrCiOTU-As

I wondered if there was a play they wanted to try out.

I can go on with jokes like that for hours tonight What do you call a bear with no teeth?*** Could you tell if the guard problem was more on the L or the R side? *** a Gummy Bear

2nd half thread because no one seems to have started a first one LOL (Sorry, Pumpkins Trick or Treat, etc)

Wasn’t that Hughes?

We are not in position to root for the Cheatriots. I won’t say never, but this ain’t that

Just for that, it’s Dad Jokes for You now: Q: Why couldn’t they find a baby-sitter for the little Vampire? A: Because he was a Pain in the Neck

I thought the 40 yd pass on 4th and 6 from the Buffalo 44 was a great play (now that we won). Balls Out play. Of course, it was total weak sauce that we let them convert it, but I liked the Swag that they went for it and Tua hit it for the conversion.

So I said the Dolphins would play us hard. I was a bit shocked by how poorly our D played at the start of the game. I thought they played as though they’d been reading their own press clippings. Discuss!

Oh, boy. It’s a win. Don’t Worry, Be Happy Game Ball to Po

His mother abandoned him in the hospital as a baby, so let’s not go there. (True, per Isaiah)

I think his contract is very reasonable LET'S GOOOO

I feel more comfortable with this lineup than with the one that would plug Cody Ford back in. Thought Boettger looked solid against Houston, and in the past, Feliciano has moved around the IOL pretty seamlessly
