Rodgers Injury Will Not Get Better Soon According To Specialist

[DandyDon1722]

I hate putting the cart before the horse but I did.

Anyhow I found this interesting, This isn't from the team doctor but it is from a leg and foot specialist who is familiar with the injury and to paraphrase -- he says there's no way Rodgers will heal during the playoffs. He has micro tears and has already re-aggreivated them.

This obviously limits him in practice and more than likely will keep him in the pocket a lot more than usual.

If we get there - good for us. I'll take any advantage we can get.

Kind of what I thought. Two weeks isn't enough for that type of injury but not really worried about it until we win on Sunday.

If Suh's suspension holds up, he may have done us 2 favors ( provided we win this week & we play a gimpy Rodgers next week ).

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Suh is a scumbag.

Wasn't Rodgers injured before Suh stepped on him?

He reinjured the calf on the redzone TD throw.

Yeah, but I sure Suh walking on him, did him no favors as well.

 

[LandryFan]

Yeah, but I sure Suh walking on him, did him no favors as well.

OK, thanks.

Meh, he'll play.

Didn't Aikman have the same injury in 1995? He missed only the second half of a road loss to the Commanders that year, and played the next week. Carved up the Packers, off all teams.

Yup, even though it didn't he may not be such a bad guy after all. Maybe he wants to be a Cowboy next season and decided he'd start now.

Rush Rodgers like crazy if we play him... that is all.

 

[percyhoward]

He had a 128.6 rating after he came back into the game.

He had a 128.6 rating after he came back into the game.

So about his average?

 

[pansophy]

Make him run

 

[perrykemp]

Make him run

To make him run you have to blitz him and his numbers have been astronomical against the blitz.

In almost all cases, the teams that have been successful slowing Rodgers down are the ones who can drop 7 and generate a pass rush with 4.

 

[pansophy]

Right but you can rush without worrying about containment.

Slacker. He ain't no Romo.

 

[percyhoward]

So about his average?

About 5 points below his season rating in home games. The guy was obviously limited.

Meh. I've seen a QB play with a punctured lung and another time a broken back...
