That actually doesn't sound encouraging at all.  If it was just a simple strain, then why would we even be talking about the season to begin with?

But, the injury itself did not look severe, so who knows what's going on?  We've seen guys pop their hammy and go down immediately.  But, CMC finished the run and walked off under his own power without even limping.  My belief was, from watching it in real-time, that it wasn't severe and that the lengthy stay in the tent was bc CMC wanted to go back out but the staff had to talk him out of it.  I figured Rhule decided to hold him out to protect him from himself and hope the extended rest until next Sunday will help him get back quicker.  At least that was my hope.

I hope you're right.  Your points make alot of sense though. I've popped mine once and It was painful as hell just to walk, definitely with a limp.  CMC seemed to be walking fine afterwards so maybe your right.

Also, in the post game interview with ESPN at the desk Darnold said "Thoughts and Prayers" out to CMC.  Smitty was like, what the hell do you know that we don't!! 

Darnold said he didn't know anything and was just wishing him well.

That was funny as fug to me.   😂

Poor Sam.   Unintentionally stepped on a landmine right there.

30 touches week 1

30 touches week 2 and had to leave with cramps for a bit

 

You'd think the coaching staff would have given CMC a few series off instead of running him into the ground by week 3

CMC had 9 touches last night.  He played nearly the whole first half.  He didn't even touch the ball at all during the first series.  He was on pace for 18 touches last night, nearly half of his usual workload.

If Chuba learns to the catch the ball, we'll be good.  

Chuba needs to take the jugs machine home.

Why don't you guys stop the slap fight and wait to see what the MRI says. Maybe Dr. Peon can interpret it for us.

This isn't really Dr. Peon's field of medicine and I have a feeling he's not going to flex his med school rotation in orthopedics to present himself as a subject matter expert since he's a responsible medical professional, but I'll let him speak for himself.

Chuba needs to sleep with the jugs machine.

I mean he had a SURE Touchdown just drop off his hands and this wasn't a case of Sam overthrowing a receiver again....

      Canes vs Bruins 7pm Halloween Edition!

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      As I said less than 10 minutes into the game, Boston looks nothing like we're used to seeing. Regardless, any curb-stomping of the Bruins is welcome.  The scorers all got the glory tonight, but all 6 D-men had excellent games. Across the board- Gost, Orlov, Chatty, Walker and, of course, Slavin & Burns.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      I just tried a few mock draft simulators and this is the only way lol. Nothing else makes sense.

      No, biggest weakness is pass rush, but I don't think there is a blue chip can't miss DE prospect to take at #1 this year, same as with QB.  But beyond that, moving forward, yea WR is a pretty damn big weakness. We have 1 game this season over 224 yards passing and just traded away our best WR (who wasn't going to re-sign here anyways).  That WR no longer on the team was also the only player we've had this year who had over 78 yards receiving in a game.  So again, yea, WR is one of our biggest weaknesses even right now, let alone moving into the future. As I just said in my other post, I love Legette, but he's not going to be a Top 5-10 WR type of guy, Top 15-20 I can see, I think he can be a good #1 WR or an elite #2. After that, what do we have for the future?  Thielen isn't part of it, sure as hell isn't going to be Mingo, and as much as we all like Coker, in no world is Coker as our #2 to Legette as the #1 going be considered as "having weapons" at WR, even with Brooks and Sanders. But put someone like T-Mac into that group, who I genuinely think is going to be a Top 5 WR in this league for a long time, and it changes things.  A Top 5 WR with Legette/Coker as the 2/3, along with Brooks and Sanders, has the potential to be one of the best set of offensive weapons in the league if they reach their potential.
