conner01---- i am co-signing with Dak and Cooper the check big Mike signed Guaranteeing win over WFT......heard big Mike was real tired of a shmuck like me having all the Plat gurantees?

He’s just copying you

 

[conner01]

CR--- could we not put Steele at RT and Collins LG...i beleive that is best 5 along with other 3

It may be
But oline continuity is so important that at this point I’d leave it alone if possible
Too much changing has hurt the production of the oline already

 

[plymkr]

it cant.
I think they are thinking of letting him play hurt, you know some pain killer and put him out there.
How pollard feels about all this I dont know. Maybe they just want wash to think he might play. There is no telling what may happen this game or down the road.

I think if I were HC, I would sit him till playoffs or last game with eagles. Try to have him healthy for playoffs.

I heard that he ruptured it on the big TD run. But he played the rest of the game. I wonder how much of that could have been adrenaline or if they shot him up. I've injured my plantar fascia. It sucks. It hurts. If we could I'd sit him till the playoffs cuz we're going to need everything in the playoffs. But he didn't look bad after that run. So who knows

McKeon does not have much of a future if he can't stay healthy. He missed about 10 weeks with a sprained ankle and now he has a stinger.

Sprinkle is he known for blocking?

 

[JayFord]

my goodness

put anyone back there and dont return a single kick

dont even touch it unless its kicked short of the endzone

 

[plasticman]

I'm totally stoked about the defensive line. We are going to see the projected preseason starters together for the first time this season.

They may not jell on Sunday, but they will get better each week including the playoffs.

The defensive line is going to be the Cowboys wildcard for the rest of the season. I predict violence.

First, only my friends call me CR. I am glad to know we are friends, @GORICO. You're a real one.

Second, I disagree. Steele has vastly improved and earned his way as a swing tackle, but I do believe at this point Collins is better at RT than he would be at LG. I actually was not a huge fan of him at LG - I thought Leary was better when Collins took his job, and that the position improved when Leary took back over back in the day. I think Collins is a RT at this point and better suited to play there than steele.

 

[Ranching]

Pollard should not return a KO for the rest of the regular season.

Too important to the offense.

He should.....if he can play, PLAY!

 

[fivetwos]

He should.....if he can play, PLAY!

I hear that sentiment coach....

It's along the lines of me not liking Lamb returning punts in certain spots either.

You have ST dudes and backups like Wilson for that stuff.

I realize Pollard broke one recently, but if we lose him on offense the rest of the way on a kickoff...I don't know. Don't want to turn this into an Ezekiel Elliott debate yet again, but we need Pollard in the backfield if we are going to get where we want to be.

All I'm saying is, if you can play, play.....

I respect that and hear you.

At RB you mean yes??



Nah I'm just saying....IF they need to lighten his load....maybe that's a way to do it.

There IS an in between....where you can suit up but it may be in everyone's best interest that be on a limited basis.

Rather him get an extra carry for each KO return he doesn't do.

But really, I hear your point....if you can play...then play.

The way this OL has played the last couple of games I'd go Smith Collins Williams Biadasz Martin McGovern Steele, and announce two of them as eligible receivers each play lol.

I had a RB play with a torn acl.....gave him an old fashioned figure 8 tape job and be went for over 100 yards an a td.....against the number one ranked team in the state....we were ranked 8th. If he can play, play.....we can rest when we're dead

 

[GORICO]

yeah but his wasnt platinum lol more like tin.

Dandy---last year my Plats worse than aluminum...Admin had to just shut em down i think....it was right call...we got good leaders here

 

[GORICO]

I'd rather get 20 yard gains and take the occasional holding penalty

Michigan---that seems the sentiment of the majority?

dang Ranching--- i think those days players played til they fell over dead....now guys sit out a game or 2 for a hang-nail

 

[GORICO]

I agree. How many long kickoffs have we gotten? 'Nuff said.

seems every time KO return runner tackled short of 25 yd line ....just let ball go unless its short kick on purpose

 

[GORICO]

He'll never catch you.

mr Pantone---- uuuhhhhh....when you say never catch me...uuhhhh.....is that the PLAT going North or South????...hahahahahahahahha

 

[GORICO]

It may be
But oline continuity is so important that at this point I’d leave it alone if possible
Too much changing has hurt the production of the oline already

totally agree....several former QB's spoke on that....and continuity gives them most peace of mind unless you just have a real bad O line...which we dont
