Dr David Chao on La'el Collins

[RS12]

 

[LocimusPrime]

• Well at least Leary is here and Collins will be back by the playoffs. Go Cowboys
• Tyron's nagging injuries are more concerning
• Tapper should be on IR

Love TheProFootballDoc (Dr. Chao), he always has informative tweets about injuries that happen during the season. Tho, his information is often disconcerting. It's still nice that he does what he does. He covers all teams and answers a lot of his tweets.

Of course, I love our own doctors here, too @Doc50 @jobberone (and the tireless research @FuzzyLumpkins did specifically re: Jaylon Smith)

Supposedly they will give it 2 weeks rest then decide. So will this be another 2 weeks added. So we will get a day to day for 6 weeks or more.
This staff does not handle injuries very well.

That's just a crappy injury for an athlete to go through... he's gonna miss a lot of time, and even more if they rush him back.

I know I'm being Mr. Head in the Clouds with this but this could be a blessing in disguise. If Leary comes in and plays well (as I expect) this could set the wheels in motion of moving Collins to RT.

Perhaps, in the off season Dallas decides to bring Leary back, start him at LG, move Collins to RT and go to Free and see if he's willing to become the swing tackle next year. If not, then they can part ways.

can we get Dr David Chao, or any Dr besides Dr Jerry Jones to comment on Jaylon Smith's freaking status?

He already did, wasnt optimistic.

Send him a tweet (if you tweet) ... he may answer it. I think if you go way far back in his history, he addressed it. But he didn't shed any more light on it than Fuzzy and a few others here have.

But I so get it, we need more updates!! Lol

Up lying this bad boy because of the CZ medical board reference. And because I love that you included Fuzzy in particular.

If he had the plantar derangement as mentioned above, he would already be having surgery, and would not not be in a wait-and-see mode.

We're still talking 4-8 weeks, though, so his availability is definitely in question.

Pretty sure Dallas was giving that time table so you sound right on the money.

Cho said that Romo wasn't hurt initially and that he would be fine. He is doing a lot of guessing in his opinions, which I understand because he doesn't have access to all the records, but we can't take his word as gospel either.

Green is the next RT

Continuity is too important on defense. If Collins is out for 8 or more weeks, no way I put him back in over Leary.

I just said that about collins to be nice and positive sounding. In truth i like leary more

Me too. Our best O-lines were when we had Leary in. Collins is likely our future but Leary is definitely our best hope in the present.

Best 2016 O-line:
Smith - Leary - Frederick - Martin - Free

Best 2017 O-line:
Smith - Collins - Frederick - Martin - Green

 

[cowboys1985]

Green is the next RT

That is no sure thing. He's had 1 decent game in 2 years. Right now, he's a barely acceptable swing tackle. There's no way I'm saying he's the future at RT.

You forgot Dr Google

Most 'medical opinion' on CZ is given by unqualified people after doing a Google search
