apuszczalowski Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 What kind of Neck brace? Was it the hard plastic one? That could be serious. the foam neck ring one could mean he had a fender bender on the way to the stadium and has a meeting with Celino and Barnes tomorrow morning..... 3

It's how Josh is going to get hurt and limits his development because he's running for his life. Best 5 on the OL play. Ford isn't top 5 right now. Develop on your own F-ing time. Expand There is certainly truth to this. But, consider: Nsekhe (33, and already injured at least once this year) is on a downward trajectory. Ford (top prospect, high ceiling, not playing that much worse than Nsekhe) is on an upward trajectory. Ford needs to be developed. Not for his own good, but for the sustained good of the team. I think they're handling the situation appropriately. And, honestly, I think the characterization of Josh "running for his life" is hyperbolic. Last season Josh was running for his life. This season, you'd have to be blind to not see the improvement in the O-line. 5

This season, you'd have to be blind to not see the improvement in the O-line. Expand Fair enough. And yes, they are definitely better than last year. If i were McBeane, here's what i would do assuming everyone is healthy. Ford to bench. Line is: Dawkins, Spain, Mitch, Fel, Ty. Then next offseason let Spain walk (he's on a 1 yr deal), draft/sign a real RT (I'd prefer a Rd 1 or 2 draft pick), Nsekhe becomes the true swing tackle, and Ford & Fel are your starting guards - put one of them on left side. So: Dawkins, Fel, Mitch, Ford, New guy.
Kelly the Dog Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 Hockey players would play with a neck brace, just sayin'.

You could have an agenda and deny anything contrary to it. Lots of "professional" sports analysts are like that.

MR8 Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 Hopefully it's precautionary, maybe a strain or pinched nerve and the brace is to take pressure off it. Both are painful but not serious. Well see as the week progresses.
DJB Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 My other question is how can he strain his neck when o lineman don't have necks? 1 2
clayboy54 Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 Jon probably strained his neck watching the guy next to him run past Ford. 1 5 1

Being out 6 weeks is a bad case scenario. 1

Walking Tall Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 It could be worse. He could be blind like Jose is. 2
