David Johnson is the reason health is the victory

Noooooo, we need to keep our "competitive edge."

JG is a "wimp."

Well, I say better to be wimpy and have two knees in the playoffs.

 

[DCBoysfan]

It's called occupational hazard

 

[MarkP88]

Hadn't heard that. That is brutal.

Injury can happen by not playing as hard, it can happen in warm ups, it can happen going out in a route. Injuries happen and it's unfortunate for sure but you can't play scared because of it. This is the wrong sport for that

 

[DFWJC]

I really hate that for Johnson. Man that sux.

So if Zeke blows knee out in the first play of the playoff game whose fault is that. Its football injuries happen and rosters limit how many guys can actually sit.

 

[jordan4vols]

I'm betting everyone saying "injuries happen in football" in this thread would be on full meltdown mode if Zeke had played and had an injury like that

I think the point is you don't play your key players in meaningless games. You play them in games that matter.

That sucks. I hope he recovers well, one of the best RB's in the league and top 3 overall in fantasy. It's no ones fault. The Cardinals were out of the playoffs, he just wanted to play.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Garrett went with the right plan today. There is nothing to complain about.

In that scenario at least it would have happened in a meaningful game. Any time you step out on the field your risk for injury increases exponentially. The only way to mitigate that is to limit exposure, which in this case means not playing Zeke in meaningless games.

Yup, it would be fire everyone.

About 20+ "fire ______" threads

So Zeke is more key that dak, dez, 3/5 of the OL.

As I said in another thread yesterday, how is resting players before a first round bye any different than sitting starters in the fourth preseason game? There's around 17 days between preseason game three and the regular season opener, yet there is no talk about "rust vs. rest" in September.

The Cowboys and Jason Garrett played it right today.

Yes

SON OF A....that sucks. I love watching him play. Man, that is such a bummer....I hadn't heard that.

I loved seeing ZEKE standing there, knowing he was not going to get hurt in a totally meaningless game.

They didn't play scared. They played cautious because they were in a good position with HFA secured.

I loved seeing ZEKE standing there, knowing he was not going to get hurt in a totally meaningless game.

And knowing he would still win the rushing title.
