If Tyron is finally healthy, I have to question why this surgery wasn’t done 3 years ago.

Maybe because he didn’t want it

 

[conner01]

He's missed at least 3 games for the last half-decade. With a 17-game schedule, 2 missed games would be an absolute blessing.

A healthy smith for 14 games is well worth it

fast forward to Week 1 for the 2021 season - Dak, La'el, Tyron questionable.

Dak - needs re-evaluation on leg
Tyron - back
La'el - out of shape, but official ruling is hip issues...

I agree, but the reason he's missed games is because he's never healthy. The best the team has gotten out of him since about 2015 is a hobbled Smith. Still not bad, but let's not pretend health is a given with this guy. The odds of him missing 2-3 games and being 100% in all others seems pretty damn slim.

I would definitely take that. But im being conservative with "at least two". And then usually when its 2 or 3 he is playing at 70% for another 3.

At 70% he’s a beast
In 2019 he missed 3 games and was not 100% in a few more
He gave up one sack

Still only gave up one sack
I’ll take 10 healthy, 3 gimpy and miss 4 with him anytime
Because even gimpy he wins against his guy

Add a little positivity in your life lol

He doesn’t have to be 100% to beat his guy
He’s well worth having for 10 healthy games a few gimpy and miss 3-4 games
Because he’s cheap for the talent and he’s one of the best in the game even when injured some

That’s your hope huh.

Everyone on this team seems like they have something to prove...and they do.

I like the way its shaping up....but I always do this time of year.

They really just have to stay healthy and we probably have a break or two coming our way in that regard.

There's NO WAY I'm not gonna be there when Lucy finally doesn't pull the football away.

Yep..........and my point is that no matter how great his shape appears to be, he will still miss games and have health issues.

But now your pushing it with 10 healthy games. Need someone more reliable than 10 games. I personally would move on and address the position in the offseason if that is all he can be relied upon for.

But Collins did look thin.

He didn’t have off season hip surgery.

He had bariatric bypass surgery.

I’d wait and see how the surgery worked
I don’t think he’s only gonna play 10 games
Before last season he’d never missed more than 3 games in his career
And he’s still pretty young for a tackle
He could play many more years if surgery fixed the issue

It's a very good thing when Dak, Tyron, and La'el are all on the practice field healthy. Wait, are we talking 'bout practice?

 

[ConstantReboot]

Maybe its because someone photoshopped their faces onto Coach McCarthy's fat body and stated that this could you be you in a few years.

 

[JBond]

Collins looks like he is at least 7'9" in that pic.

 

[tyke1doe]

Suuurrreee!

 

[Risen Star]

Everything's coming together, bro.

They are practicing being healthy
