"We're going to try to do it judiciously," Rivera said. "We've got to save him from himself and save him from us. You get a guy like that, you want to keep him out there as much as you can. But just knowing his conditioning and football shape isn't where it needs to be right now. ... You don't want to throw Greg out there and have him go 60 plays. So we really have to be smart."

I wonder if this is true that he isnt in football shape or if this ruse to decieve the Jets.  I cant see them putting him out there if he isnt in football shape.

When they say, "football shape", think they mean....Week 12 speed, can he take consistent full speed hits, can he make cuts on that foot for 4 quarters without setback, is he "in shape" for 4 quarters of NFL football, are his routes "crisp"......etc....So yeah, think judiciously would be wise......Think it will take him a couple of weeks to get back to being the weapon he usually is. (provided there are no setbacks...Fingers crossed)

Olsen had a broken foot.. You need those to be able to run and keep up conditioning. 

There’s many ways to keep up your conditioning with a foot injury but football game shape is different 

The only guy who thinks a foot injury is an excuse to become a slob is Albert Pujols

Yeah, I'm sure Greg isn't that far off. I think he said they did that pool training a lot. But anyone expecting him to come back 100% ready to go is crazy

    • He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.
    • Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings. 
    • Because he won't be here next year, we aren't winning this year and we need to see if Renfrow or Horn can be that guy going forward. If Bryce isn't good enough to do poo without AT we need to find that out this year as well. I'm fine keeping him but his role needs to be slowly reduced throughout the year anyway so we know what we have for the future
