We sacked Cousins 5 times yesterday, and we are getting CJ back against the Boys?

CJ is eligible to come back this week, but they haven't made it official yet. When he comes back, he will take someone else's roster spot. Last I read, they were going to make the call after he does some on-field work Monday or Tuesday.

Probably Horton, since he was inactive this week.

For those who keep comparing Ealy to Johnson please stop. Johnson is (6'2, 285), Ealy is (6'4, 275). He is more in the mold of Greg Hardy (6'4, 277). 

Ealy so far IMO is a year ahead of Hardy's progression, and as a 2nd round pick vs a former (6th round pick in Hardy) he should be.

If I were to guess, the starting unit will remain as is and I think we'll see Johnson when he returns as a part of the rotation as he gets  back into football condition.

Having Big Money come back is only going to be helpful.  I don't think it will lead to an 8 sack day against the Cowboys, but every bit of pressure from the front four helps against Romo.

Dallas has a very good Oline, and I am worried about them dominating our D line.  That's going to be where a major component of the game will take place.  If we are able to beat up on Dallas's OL, then I think we'll be golden.  But Dallas does have some excellent players...

    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
