K-9

That would be 12 personnel. The first digit represents the number of RBs, the second digit is the number of TEs.

While I agree with that, the Jimmies and Joes we have on offense currently don’t match up well with the Jimmies and Joes the Jest have on defense, so scheme is gonna be important.

It’s on the defense to win this game for us Monday night. This offense simply doesn’t match up well with a very good Jest defense so I’m not expecting much on that side of the ball. We’d do well enough to not turn the ball over and play the field position game. And that means Josh has to be smart and avoid the stupid plays we’ve seen from him when he puts on the hero cape and tries to do too much.

I doubt players can game whether or not their pupils constrict when the doctor shines a light in them when checking for signs of a concussion.

Going back into the football game or not isn't a question relative to CTE. It’s a question relative to the presentation of symptoms consistent with concussion or other trauma. We would hope the neurologist on the sideline would make the best medical assessment and if there is ANY question in the least, the player should be removed pending further testing. Players and coaches simply shouldn’t be allowed to make that determination.

There are all sorts of treatments for head trauma and those indistinguishable neurodegenerative diseases and we continue to make great strides in that area. But they can be diagnosed and treated specifically. What is the treatment for CTE? That’s not throwing up your hands in the least, it’s trying to administer the best care for the known condition.

Well, it’s not possible to positively diagnose CTE until after death. My point was that a medical provider cannot and should not pronounce a definite finding unless he can accurately test for that finding and we just aren’t there yet with CTE. By all means, symptoms of any issue should be treated and I’m all for that. But different conditions can present the same symptoms. Best to be 100% certain imo.

Not in the least. Not sure why you'd think that based on my post, either.

A quote from their own website: I guess as long as they don’t have to actually be accurate about it, then I guess they can diagnose the condition in any living person presenting any kind of symptoms consistent with those found in dead people after their brains have been dissected and CTE definitively diagnosed.

If Saleh was a direct report to Johnson, then there was no reason to have Douglas in the room. But not being in the room doesn’t mean that Douglas wasn’t made aware that Saleh was being let go.

CTE can only be conclusively diagnosed after death.

All division games are must win games. All of them.

The interim HC might be even more of a poser than Saleh.

Unless you completely rest it for a month or so, turf toe will linger throughout the season and I suspect that’s ongoing issue. Not sure how that might relate to how Brady uses him or not.

The return of Bernard was a bright spot. Helluva play on his INT.

The Jest will be in first place if we lose to them Monday night at MetLife. I agree with your take about Josh but he needs help at the wideout position. Desperately.

Silver lining? We continue to improve our draft selection in 2025.

The particular pass play calls were stupid. And there is no problem running on at least two of those plays to force them to burn timeouts at the very least. Play action would have been useful as well. Just a crap fest by Brady.

Shades of 13 seconds with the coaching decisions on our last offensive possession. Oh, and the concern about our receivers was absolutely legitimate.

He helped define the position in his era and is the only HOFer to have never played a down in the NFL. One of my early football heroes. RIP, Bill Shaw. Travel well.

Unless that was the reason for the change in the zoning laws.

This news hit me hard. In another life long ago, the company I worked for also owned the Denver Nuggets and Dikembe would often visit corporate back east for various reasons as well as to see his brother who worked for us. We’d just sit around and shoot the breeze. Whenever I entertained customers in the suite in Denver, he always offered to have them come to the morning shoot arounds and spend a couple minutes. He was the most personable, down to earth person; totally unaffected by his great success. And his was a brilliant mind that could riff on a myriad of subjects. And in several languages to boot. Dikembe was a difference maker in this world and we lost a good man when good men are needed most. Travel well, friend.

Did he tweak a hammy Sunday or was it something else? Any local news on that?

Williams abandoned his gap when he bit on the fake. That’s not to say the schematic was correct and the coaches are in no way part of the problem, but in watching Williams since his first snap in the league, he too often bites on play action and run action fakes. We will have to agree to disagree that he plays his position well. Given his athletic chops he has his moments, but he is simply not very good yet imo.
