Yeah me too, I love Mack but I have faith in Wilkins and Williams.

I have more faith in Williams Wilkins is slow.

Was at the game. Buddy of mine texted me he had already been ruled out before us in the stands even knew he was injured. Has to be pretty serious for them to know that quick he was out, and it’s fractured. 

Even if he is out we can still win with Wilkins and Williams as long as our Line blocks like it did today and JB doesn't turn it over. We need TY back more than anything against a team like Houston.

Wilkens might not be the fastest in an open field but he hits the hole fast and gets into the backfield quickly.

I love Marlon, but I've always felt that given a chance, Wilkins could put up similar numbers.  His "fumbling problem" has been blown out of proportion IMO.  I hope he gets the bulk of carries as long as Mack is out.

Yeah...no.

 

Wilkins is not as good as Mack.

Wilkins is faster than Williams. Wilkins is 4.5 will Williams is 4.59. 

Williams just hits the hole better. Wilkins is more of a dancer or finesse runner.

[life long 290]

Pretty sure in the first game against Houston we did not run the ball well anyways. Get well soon Marlon but we need TY healthy more imo.

He went to the locker room pretty quick.    Impossible to know the severity or how long he will be out

Good lord,   what do you base your opinions on.    They are wrong almost always. 

[Mr.NotSoCreative 259]

Not sure any of our rbs besides Mack can pull off runs like his td today. Was a beauty. Gonna need our playmakers for this stretch, Mack is one of em. Tough break for him.

[horseshoecrabs 635]

Maybe Quinton Nelson Will be our starting Full back , in short yardage plays, LOL. 

[Chrisaaron1023 1,487]

As long as we get some DBs back I think we'll be okay. Defense has been pretty awesome this year

[Sumo63 317]

This year is the definition of "next man up".  From starting QB on down.  We've had a couple bad losses recently, but most games have been competitive (to put it lightly) and yet today we were dominant. 

 

Speaks to a strong foundation.  I love what we're building.  The more adversity the more we see what our staff is made of.

 

Thursday will be an interesting contest.

Just glad Jacoby is back, if only TY could be ready to play.

 If it is a fracture, this says it’s a three week healing process. I guess we’ll know for sure tomorrow.

And an important 3 week stretch at that. 

 

Three wins and we could very well lock up the AFC South. LET'S GO.

Hmmmm.....I wouldnt call Wilkins a dancer.  The reason why I like him is that he hits the hole and usually runs straight ahead. Mack is a dancer

Fractured hand is probably 4-6 weeks best case scenario, and this one just seems to be severe. 
 

Gordon Hayward fractured his on Saturday last weekend. They were unsure what the injury was until Monday, and he was projected to miss 4-6 with what was termed as a light fracture. 
 

Everything points to this one being pretty significant. 
 

Hope I’m wrong, but I don’t think I am this time.

If the oline can keep run blocking like that we will be fine for a few games without Mack. Wilkins and Williams just need to stay healthy the next few weeks. Hopefully Mack’s hand isn’t seaon ending. Reich did say Wilkins might miss one game so I think he should be back Thursday.  Houston not having Watt should help the passing and run game although they have tried to fix their corner issue.

Houston lost Lonnie Johnson  today

Wow. They are with corners like we are with WR.

[LuckyHorseShoe§ 418]

This is really interesting to me. If they got that thing wrapped up, would they let him play? In high school we had a guy with a broken hand who went out there and played stellar OL throughout the season. I guess the medical staff probably won’t let him though.

Williams needs to bring it again on Thursday, and we need Wilkins and Hines ready to go too. With those three I think we’ll be ok, especially since JJ Watt won’t be playing.

Also we need TY; Pascal and Marcus Johnson had some great plays today but we need our Texan-killer out there

I cant see TY missing the Houston game. Thats probably the one they been waiting to get him ready for. Hoping Funch can play this week also. Probably not though.

I would say four weeks. If he doesn’t need surgery maybe sooner. Campbell will be about 4 weeks. It really is a shame after the season he is having.

Im really waiting for the game when we are able to play with TY, Funchess, Campbell, Pascal and Marcus Johnson. Thats a solid 5 for JB to work with. I like that group for JB.

Hopefully they are all back by the titans game. With what Johnson showed tonight and the injuries we might have to cut Dulin when they all are back.

That loss to Miami really stings even a week later. We would b in the driver's seat more comfortably if we were 7 and 3. Still sucks

We will see how bad some of these injuries are. We might not have a choice. With Odums injury we have to keep Milligan now.

The next option would be Kelly which is possible.  I think they have to get TY or Funch back before Dulin could be in danger.

Wilkins is also averaging 6.1 per attempt, and the league-leading number is held by Lamar Jackson at 6.6. 

 

Wilkins is incredibly efficient with his usage, to the point he deserves more touches.  Durability seems to be an issue.

I like Wilkins in zone blocking, not man blocking schemes. I also prefer him on the edge instead of between the tackles.
