Jerry Jones: Ro McClain 'doubtful' for Rams

[tm1119]

Yeah. Look for the Rams to lean on Stacey in the running game.

McClain's ability to stop the run is fine, he's best in the box. What I'm more worried about is RB's and TE's killing us in the passing game....even more than usual

McClain"You’ll miss him," Jones said on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas. "On the other hand, I think you could expect him probably not to play, but he won’t tell you that.

What in the wild, wild, west is Jerry saying here? Talk about non-sequitor, contradictorial, ad-homonyms.

He makes hieroglyphics look like Dick and Jane.

Or Yogi "You can observe a lot just by watching." Berra sound like William F. Buckley, Jr.

• Inactive (IA) - Players are officially inactive for the current game and will not play
• Out (O) – Not scheduled to play
• Doubtful (D) – Players have approximately a 25% chance of playing
• Questionable (Q) – Players have approximately a 50% chance of playing
• Probable (P) – Players are very likely to start in the upcoming week

If there is a football god.
By the way ... what does "doubtful" really mean in footbal terms? I know what "probable" means. "Probable" means they are playing.

I think doubtful means there is a 25 percent chance he plays.

 

[fifaguy]

Guess we should hold off on that extension

 

[Toruk_Makto]

I thought he was milking this injury to miss practice time?!

 

[chagus]

Great.

 

[Sportsbabe]

Well, McLovin will be playing in my sweet dreams.
Can't no injury report stop that

 

[BigStar]

Well, that sux a bag of em...hope he is back by NO

 

[CF74]

Rather see Carter man the middle over the rook...

 

[Bleu Star]

to me that means he's playing.......

--------
IRVING, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys middle linebacker Rolando McClain missed his third straight day of practice and owner and general manager Jerry Jones said McClain would be doubtful to play Sunday against the St. Louis Rams.

McClain"You’ll miss him," Jones said on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas. "On the other hand, I think you could expect him probably not to play, but he won’t tell you that. We’re not for sure when he had this injury. He might have had it early in the game. You listen to him, he wants to play and thinks he might play. But we have him as doubtful, of course."

Rookie Anthony Hitchens would start at middle linebacker if McClain is out, withKyle Wilber moving to strongside linebacker and Bruce Carter on the weak side.Justin Durant will miss his second straight game with a groin injury, but coach Jason Garrett said Durant has improved.

Lawd please don't allow Hitchens to screw this up. See you in a week RoMac.

Maybe im dense, but how could he not know when it happened?

[DiResta]

At least Scandrick is back.

Mickey said he was walking gingerly when he saw him this morning.

It really doensn't mean anything IMHO.

For example, I have Brandon Marshall on my FF team and he was doubtful last week but he played and had a monster game. I also have Roddy White and he was probable but did not play.

Bottom line, unless they are definitely out, it can go either way.

And the coddling continues........

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

well, maybe Ro was not fakin' it.

Get well soon, big guy.

This guy will break your hearts, believe it.

Why would we not start Bruce Carter at Mike? He's been in the D far longer than Hitchens and is the best overall athlete left at LBer. Starting Hitchens at that spot scares me to death.

And what about the Toomer kid we picked up from Seattle? I thought he was supposed to be some "all world athlete" or something? We need somebody else to step up and start making some plays.

Could not agree more. Start Carter at Mike (actually played well there before) with another former starter in Wiber at Sam. Play Toomer (or even Hitchens, brrrr) at Will. Or just keep the team in Big Nickel and extra safety (Church or Wilcox) at LB spot with Moore in center field.

This way we have one liability, maybe, instead of two definite ones (Carter at Will and Hitchens at any LB spot).
