Alex Smith's calf injury is a functionality issue and not soreness

Aven8 · Dec 30, 2020

Has anyone seen Wash play without Alex besides against us? They can’t move the football for nothing!

Side topic, but Alex Smith is one of those weird #1 picks where he was never a superstar, got better as his career progressed and has managed to be pretty decent for 15 years now. Had it not been for SF poorly jettisoning him for Kaep, he may have a couple more Pro Bowls under his belt though three is nothing to sneer at.

Rogers was obviously the star of the draft, but Smith has dug out a pretty decent career for himself and is a good character to match.

With that defense Smith doesn’t have to be fully ready....the offense is hand it to gibson and throw passes in the flats......

Actually what makes this game tougher for the WFT is whether or not Fletcher Cox plays. You saw what we were able to do when he went out of the game. He plays and Smith will get abused.

..if I'm the DC, I'm going to dial up all type of blitzes. With one legged pony, your chances might be better than 50/50.

Most did not see Washington losing to Carolina either. lol

That's not true, with Haskins as QB, lots of folks thought Washington losing to Carolina was way more probable.

There’s no chance the Eagles win a division game versus a QB with one leg? It’s probably the definition of a toss up lol

A no legged QB could beat the Eagles. I wish I shared your optimism but I saw how bad they are last Sunday. If I'm wrong I'll be one of the happiest people on this board as I think people who root for losses can't even call themselves fans.

Washington on the betting line was favored and many here stated Washington should win as well. Then again maybe that was wishful thinking for them since they don't want to see Dallas make it. It may ruin their draft pick. LOL

Lol I saw how bad we were in 9 games but every week is different. Heinicke is taking starting reps and looks like he’s gonna play, so good luck putting your hard earned money on Taylor “Old Dominion University” Heinicke.

I would stay the hell away from betting Eagles Skins lol.

If you are going by what folks say here then you are a bigger idiot than they are. A little knowledge about how bad Haskins has been playing won a bit of money for those that saw Washington favored in that Carolina game. If only I were a betting man.

See that's the beauty of the bet. If I win my first bet and lose my 2nd bet do you know what I win? A playoff game next week. Do you know what happens if I win both bets? Money. I call that a no lose bet. Now if the Cowboys choke against the Giants early on then that will be my only way of truly losing the bet.

Our Dline needs to target that injured lower leg. Take him out early. Game over. Cowboys win.

You realize we don't play Washington, right?

We will make Washington’s backup look like Montana in his prime.

We don't play Washington

Doh!!! I meant to say the Eagles Dline. Hard to do 3 or 4 things at the same time, plus work from home. My bad. Thanks for the correction.

Their offense without Smith is one of the worst ive ever seen ....their points mainly came from a late push ......

I listened to Dr. Chao on NFL Radio explain this the other day and it's so damn crazy. Think about how often you use your calf muscles when you aren't playing a violent sport.

I can't see him playing Sunday, but with the release of Haskins Monday - who knows?

I'll stand by what I've said all along, he'll suit up as a backup......

Good news is if he doesn’t practice all week but can go in the game he’s gonna be rusty at least

Alex Smith's calf injury is a functionality issue and not soreness
