Zack already back

[Flamma]

That's good news. I was worried we'd be without Greatbeard and Martin in week 1.

Injury was not bad just not worth playing pre season on it.

Every single one of our OL should be wearing knee braces. Just my opinion. Might not prevent the injury as guys are too big and the angles too much, but might be the difference behind a mild sprain and a tear.

Except Chaz - you do you, brother.

But the last time we heard " bone bruise", it ended Anthony Spencer's career.

This is a relief.

His beard may be great, but he only answers to Fredbeard.

I understand that but Martin was back on the sideline standing and watching teammates once he got checked out and left the locker room. Seeing him walking and putting weight on it I felt confident this was not a major injury.

Good news but still concerned he could be more fragile than normal.

That's cold, brotha. But hilarious!

Down to here...down to there, just give me some kind of hair!

I think this was mostly a big scare. Hyperextensions are freaky.

 

[Ranched]

Finally, some good news.

There's more and more evidence that knee braces are completely ineffective.

How did he get hurt? I thought he was playing golf with Dan Baily, Chris Jones and Sean Lee until game 1.

Show up, preppie...theme song for the Musical: Hair, Son.

If that isn't understood, just stick to watching All In The Family reruns...

Agree to a point as a knee brace isn't going to save you when a 250 LB linebacker is diving at your knees or you get rolled up on from behind and gravity takes hold. I think they're more effective for non-contact injuries and pivoting.

By the time Carolina game gets here he will be 3 weeks removed from it and is already at practice.

Not even that. In fact, they're more risky potentially.

I have daughters who play high-level soccer, and we've seen a ton of them. I've talked to many doctors, and now they don't even want them wearing braces when they come back. It's all mental.

IMO, they're only good for rehabbing. But that's just my experience. Completely agree with your idea of it being mental.
