Mini-bye: 3 days off, how many players leave town?

[Beck Water]

Anyone know? 

 

I woulda thought that 3 days off would be about enough to get some PT/heal up a bit, get a massage and start to feel better, maybe have a "date night" with your partner and do something special with your kids, but not to fly out of town and fly back, especially commercial.

 

OTOH, for players with family out of town, especially elders, it's a chance to catch up on the missed Thanksgiving visits.

Lil Dirty apparently thought he was about to miss a connecting flight in Pittsburgh yesterday, so he was one of them...imagine he went down to Florida to check out his restaurants

My guess would be that the healthy players take a little break, while the guys rehabbing stay in town and continue to use the facilities.

Depends on where they are from.  Doing a California trip would be a PITA. A SE trip is easier to do.

 

 

you could have players returning to college teams for their former teams game on Saturday.

It's December and your are trying to win a Chamionship. No one should be leaving town. These guys should be competely engrossed in ironing out the sloppy play and being as prepared as possibly for a Jets team that beat them last time around. 

 

There's a big difference between winners and Champions.

And there is also merit in taking a mental break after all they had to deal with over the past 2 weeks as well so they can have a clear mind and better mental state for the stretch run coming up.  Can only burn the candle at both ends for so long before it burns out.

they were given 3 days off. Seeing the schedule the last 3 games they should rest, get away and visit family and do whatever they want. Plenty of time to prepare for the Jets

They had 3 days off.  How they spend it is up to them.  There were no scheduled practices during that time.

They just went through a crazy 12 day stretch and I'm sure that everyone needed a mini-break.

 

They get a full normal week with a home game.  It's working out perfect for them.

They have had an illness going around the locker room for 3 weeks. I hope they closed the facilities to quarantine/decontaminate for a few days. Hopefully thats enough time, but its better then nothing.

? I don't think his GF is pregnant, and she's apparently living with him in B'lo - they've shown her in the "Mister's" podcasts with Ty Dunne. 

The "gender reveal" was for his "sister"

From something Diggs indicated in a presser, I think it's a cold/respiratory virus.  Deep surface decontam probably not too helpful for that, and 2-3x/day disinfection of the touch surfaces (doorknobs, light switches, weight equipment, training stuff) should be happening routinely.

 

If it were a Norovirus (avert!) then yeah.

[BillyBilliams]

Who cares what they do.  Take the time off.  Just be ready to play on Sunday.

Now, if you see him dropping off and picking up his GF from the airport and she looks preggers, maybe there's a second baby in the picture, but the gender reveal was 100% for his sis.

 

But I'd follow the wise advice of a former co-worker: "never ask a woman if she's pregnant".   A guy I worked with didn't follow this advice with another coworker (who already had 3 kids), and the result was.....mmmm, NOT pretty.
