Feel the same way and right with you in years as a fan. I'm not in the mood for "oh well" wait till next year. Still burns me this team was not prepared and left the formula which made this a successful season.

The part in bold is so true.

I hope the coaches catch hell about that during the entire offseason.

Three weeks later and I still feel like running through a wall.

You and me both....but we both know if they do we won't hear about it.

True story!!

I hope Jerry has invested in a state of the art leg brace to solve the drop foot issue.

I'm designing a pair for myself with electronics and carbon fiber. They're going to allow me to run a 4.1 forty.

Don't forget the utility belt.

 

[Zekeats]

This guy gets more and more overhyped....if he is half as good as everyone is thinking he will be an 8 time pro bower. Just for a little fun what did Myles Jack do this year?

 

[Oh_Canada]

This all is starting to have the "too good to be true" feeling to it.

24 tackles. .5 sacks 0 interceptions. Would of fit right in with our defense.

 

[Bowdown27]

Dude looks huge for a LB. Even without pads.

Right I was thinking same thing. Derrick brooks is coming to training camp to help the team too because of rod marinelli.

I think one of them deserved to lose his job over it.

 

[Doc50]

no brace? ankles heavily taped.

I see no limp, no asymmetry, no difference in hip flexion heights, no difference in push off strength or cadence........essentially no problem.

Granted, that's heavily taped, but these guys should all play that way, and with knee braces, too.

I can't believe the owners and league also let them play with pants above their knees; patellar fractures are a loss of 6-12 months, so worth millions.

Need crush zones on the helmets and shoulders, and foreleg exoskeletons; I believe we'll see that in the next few years.

As for Smith, he'll play like a rookie next year, and really explode after that......no, I don't mean his knee will explode, or his head.

Maybe my head will explode before we get to July.

The team went down 21-3 before you could blink and still got Zeke the ball 23 times on the ground.

 

[GhostOfPelluer]

Given what he's able to do now I'm comfortable thinking the guy could be a solid, maybe even good linebacker. He's an athletic freak and he can probably be effective even with the brace on his foot.

If he can get the nerve to refire and regain his pre-injury mobility, then his talent (and obvious work ethic) should push him past solid and effective. That's when he could be a dynamic player for the defense.

I think there's some middle ground between bust and transcendent talent, and that's what we should be expecting to see in 2017.

 

[Silver N Blue]

You just prove the point all over again. Thanks

 

[Stash]

Wow! 23? You say that like it's a good thing or an accomplishment.

And the cause of that 21-3 "blink" was in large part because they got away from the running game early. Anybody who truly wants to see it and can bear the truth, is free to look at the play by play for the game.

Or they can keep their heads buried in the sand.

 

[Stash]

You just prove the point all over again. Thanks

That's what they try to point to in a failed attempt to justify it, trying to sneak past the fact that getting away from the run is what helped them get to that 21-3 hole.

While they might try to forget about it, the rest of us aren't.

And before anyone starts, nobody is saying the defense was good, we're saying bad playcalling by the offense didn't do anyone any favors either.

But this probably isn't the thread to bring this up again.

 

[RomoFor6]

Definitely hopped on the juice, hopefully he has the right people telling him how to cycle so he doesn't get busted

 

[Longboysfan]

Can I order a pair?

 

[DogFace]

Just overall flexibility and fluidity.

Wonder if he can play as is. May still be pretty good.

"They" say a certain percentage is mental. Maybe he'll be ready.
