MasterStrategist Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 7 minutes ago, Doc said: So have we heard anything definitive? Not yet, and likely won't until he's back practicing. We have: 1. @HappyDaysinside scoop: sprained MCL/no surgery 2. McGovern stayed on field/leg sleeve, to finish watching practice & his post-practice interview with BN Pure guess, but knowing MCL injuries can be very painful and instability is a concern, the fact he stayed out to finish watching and didn't seem concerned in his interview - could be a Grade 1 sprain, or low Grade 2. If Grade 1, I think it's very possible he plays Week 1. Grade 2, likely looking at 1-2 missed games. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) Good to hear McGovern say this before his injury: "[Buffalo is a] complete 180 [from Dallas]. It’s been the best [coaching] I’ve had in my career from college all the way up. [Kromer] gets into the small, little details, and I’ve never really had somebody pick things apart. It’s not, ‘Hey, just block your guy.’ It’s, ‘Get your punch up a couple inches to the V-neck of the jersey.’ Just those little things.” www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/mcgovern-reveals-complete-180-from-cowboys/ar-AA1fNbSJ Edited August 26, 2023 by hondo in seattle 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on his experiences as an assistant to one of the better OC's in the league. Based on his tool box that has Allen, Diggs, Davis, Cook, Knox, Kincaid and some other choice pieces. And based on the fact he had the #2 Offense in the NFL as a rookie OC though many consider he did not have the best roster. How's that?

Beck Water Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 22 hours ago, Paul Costa said: I think Edwards takes the LG spot if McGovern does miss time. That time table if true really puts him on the PUP bubble. Wouldn’t be the worst thing if true. We have some solid depth there. I'm not sure what you mean by "PUP bubble". PUP, or "physically unable to perform", only applies to players who come into training camp injured and never take a snap. Once a guy takes a snap in preseason, there is no "PUP bubble" because PUP can not be used. Perhaps you mean "IR bubble"? If he's IR'd, he must miss 4 regular season games. The challenge is to put him on IR eligible to return, he has to start the season on the 53 man roster, then go on IR. So someone has to have a "handshake deal" to take a cut, allow McGovern to pass to the 53 man roster then be IR'd, and then re-sign. I'm curious if anyone knows who has been taking McGovern's snaps at LG and how they're doing? Is it Edwards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is they didn’t get enough attention from someone at some point in their life and now they are so hungry for it they have confused negative reactions as a positive because it invokes some feeling in them. They most likely struggles with being connected to the internal experience. We can have compassion for them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may choose to carry an extra OL for the first couple of weeks. Which in turn means they may go with one less CB If they kept Boettger over even Broeker I would have to wonder what blackmail he holds over McBeane. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was painfully obvious last season, as it went on, that teams caught up with us and Dorsey didn't have an answer. I'm not alone in that opinion. Hopefully, he did a lot of studying this offseason. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
