He's playing well for the Brownies, but they (at least at the time of the trade) used a different blocking scheme he was of a fit for.
TigerJ Posted November 27, 2020 Posted November 27, 2020 Whatever you do, Sean, just keep Winters on the bench. Hopefully Boettger and Feliciano can stay healthy through the remainder of the season. 1 1

Rochesterfan Posted November 27, 2020 Posted November 27, 2020 7 minutes ago, TroutDog said: It may. I’ve had the surgery done seven times and they don’t typically repair them anymore according to my ortho. Partials they just let heal unless there is debris (just a minor scope then). Perhaps my doc is wrong...but I trust him. I’ve torn literally everything in my right knee save my LCL. I think for an average person - your doctor is correct - they tend to trim because we are not abusing the knee to the level an athlete does. For NFL players they typically review options and make a decision based on how long they expect the player to play and how bad the tear is. If they can repair - most doctors think that is the better option because there is a good chance later in the career this is going to happen again and you want to maintain as much of the meniscus as possible for as long as possible. 1
ghostwriter Posted November 27, 2020 Posted November 27, 2020 In the short term it matters none.. In the long term it matters some.. Ford is just a guy but he has a high ceiling and his contract is cheap.. McD and co are hoping the light’ll turn on for him.. Guess we’ll have to wait till next year.. 1

Three to four months is more typical of one of us dealing with this. Do we know the severity of the injury?

I’m physically active but I certainly do not put the kind of pressure on it that an NFL lineman would. Sounds like Cody’s condition was more involved.Clearly you have been through this a lot more than me. But about three years ago I had a small meniscus tear in my left knee. My ortho surgeon gave me the option of conservative treatment to let it heal on its own or orthoscopic surgery which would take care of it quicker. I opted for the surgery and was pretty much back to normal within 2 to 3 weeks. I’m physically active but I certainly do not put the kind of pressure on it that an NFL lineman would. Sounds like Cody’s condition was more involved. 1
First Round Bust Posted November 27, 2020 Posted November 27, 2020 whatever it is its much better than an ACL injury and the depth at guard is likely our deepest on the OL, but still hurts, should be 100% for OTA and camp in 2021...2020 will just not stop with the bad news !!! sigh
ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted November 27, 2020 Posted November 27, 2020 Treatment options depend on the location and severity of the tear. From https://www.pennmedicine.org/updates/blogs/musculoskeletal-and-rheumatology/2018/september/meniscus-tears-why-you-should-not-let-them-go-untreated : "In the case of meniscus tears, some people think the injury will heal over time on its own. But the truth is that there are different types of meniscus tears — and some tears won’t heal without treatment. If your tear is on the outer one-third of the meniscus, it may heal on its own or be repaired surgically. This is because this area has rich blood supply and blood cells can regenerate meniscus tissue — or help it heal after surgical repair. But if the tear is in the inner two-thirds, which lack blood flow, the tear cannot be repaired and may need to be trimmed or removed surgically." The full link gives considerably more details.

Ford was inconsistent. He was settling in a little at LG but there isn't any drop IMO to the other OGs on the roster. Our best 4 OL are Dawkins, Williams, Feliciano, and Morse. After that I view them pretty equally. Ford has the most talent though and upside, just too inconsistent. 1

Success Posted November 27, 2020 Posted November 27, 2020 I personally thought Ford showed a lot of improvement this year. I'd hardly call him a bust at this point. And players get hurt. This is bad news for this season, but it hardly plays into how the pick should be evaluated. 2

Agreed. Beane has built his roster at the Lines in a similar fashion, solid depth and no superstars, but 2-3 solid guys. They overspent on Morse, but Dawkins is a real good player. Good coaching has helped a lot as well
