That sucks not the best way to start. I think it will take him more like 3 to 4 weeks to play.

Most patients can resume normal activities within 2 - 4 weeks after leaving the hospital which is almost immediate or a day in todays world.

Strenuous activity is beyond normal activity and that is what football requires, alot will depend on his overall health

much depends on if open procedure or threw small incision, a l;aproscope, and of course if any complications

We know he can tackle. Getting through blockers is the question. We don't have any linebackers that excel at doing that.

If you have excellent defensive tackle play, eating up blockers, you may not need to. The addition of Harris may be the biggest move we've made in a while, and Sims has the chance to shine because he isn't getting ate up by blockers. Hopefully Nevis is the real deal, and Moala continues to improve along with the young'n Matthews. I look for drastic improvement from our DT, which will put us as a top 10 overall defense again. I expect to finish top 5 in least points allowed, top 15 in run defense, and top 5 in pass defense. Just my bold predictions if all the players pan out and stay healthy. A lot more possessions for Manning and co. are coming this year. Hopefully they have an o-line for once that can do something. Both of our lines look promising and upgraded, but it's still an unknown until after the first 5 weeks at least.

Against the run, the opposing team will be sending a blocker at our weakside backer, or else the play will be going strong side and he'll have to fight through a bunch of garbage to get to the play. Good interior line play will help, but our backers will still face blockers in the run game.

One of the things that hurt us in the opener against the Texans, perhaps as much as the poor tackle play, was the linebackers overrunning the play. Clint Session did this over and over again, primarily because he was trying to get around the blockers, instead of taking them on. He could have been going straight up and setting the edge, limiting a play, but instead was trying to go all the way outside and get back in to make a tackle. That's what Gerry Bertier would call "selfish, show-off football," leaving his teammates out to dry.

Either way, discipline is more important than athletic displays for our defense. All of our guys are athletic, but they need to handle their assignments and let the defense work as a unit. That's true of the gap linemen and the linebackers.

Couldn't agree more as to setting the edge and one thing I think Angerer does really well and I think Melvin does it very well in run support as well.

      The +1 Quarterback: How A Mobile QB Impacts the Designed Run Game

      By superrep1967 · Posted

      Yeah, Luck was reckless with his body. Which I think shortened his career. He also got tired of constantly rehabbing all the time. Yes, they need to teach AR to slide and don’t take those hits.

      You don’t have to convince me Roseman is good at his job.   I literally said so in the post you felt necessary to respond to.    He’s very good at his job.   But he makes mistakes too as all GMs do.   That’s something that many here don’t understand.

      Hopkins is a million times better team player than AB. OBJ just got drafted by a bad team with a fading QB, and has been great apart from the recent injury and time-off. My point is, Hopkins has not shown any signs of being slowed down yet.

      Agholor was hand picked by Chip Kelly, Roseman was not having control over that draft, IIRC.   Yeah, everyone will have misses. What separates Roseman from all other GMs and puts him in rarefied air is he doesn't restrict himself from getting high priced free agents to build a strong contending team even with unstable QB position, while being willing to Max out all the cap space he could. Hurts was not a proven quality QB last off-season, but their GM still had every other position fortified with quality starters and depth. He replenishes  RB room for cheap and with quality depth, and spends money on impact positions while drafting trenches 8 out of 10 times in the first round and mostly drafting there well. He fleeces other GMs very well on offloading contracts and getting great free agents at right time from right team. So many moves just don't work out by luck year after year. He's a very good grip on where to spend money and how to keep the roster a championship contender even with unanswered questions at QB position for last decade.    He does so much so well that his misses are negligible in the larger picture. He missed on Jefferson, but he got AJ and Smith, and now they're not going to lose sleep over that miss.
