Injury updates - Burris, Gross-Matos, Horn, CMC

With the current ir rules, it doesn't make sense to declare anyone out for the season if they have any chance to come back.  This is a hugely positive rule change from the past where you either had to end someone's season or keep them in the 53 man roster for injuries such as horns which are questionable.

For horn, the choice of coming back in Dec or January may be different if the team is in contention.  If not, take no chances.  If so, decide then.

Posted this in the Cowboys thread, but the Cowboys rank dead last in Pass Block Win Rate as a unit, according to ESPN at around 38%.

Our dominant pass rush should help our depleted secondary in this sense against one of the leagues better WR Corps. We can’t allow Dak to have all day to throw or he and CeeDee, Cooper, etc are going to eat us alive.

I doubt he will have anything close to all day, if I had to wager I would say he will have very little time to throw and no ground game to support him.

Absolutely!  I love the flexibility on the IR and the ability to bring up players from the PS on game day without waiving someone.

Most likely:

D Jax
CJ
Chinn
Franklin
Bouye

If CJ slides right in and plays well and Bouye plays decently, our secondary looks not terrible.  It might work out, but it definitely hinges on how well those two fit in this week.  The defense has been playing as a well oil machined and I'm hoping changing out a couple parts doesn't fug with that too much.

I wish we could get an answer on if horn is done for the year or not. oh well

It’s not always just about how severe the injury is, it’s about how his body responds to treatment and how fast he can heal and get back into playing shape.

I suspect we won't really know until a few months from now. Depends on how he heals and also how the team does in his absence. Timeframe was 2-3+ months, if we continue to play extremely well and his rehab goes smoothly we probably get him back for some of that tough stretch late in the regular season. If we start to throw the season away and aren't really in the playoff mix and his recovery is taking closer to the 3 months end of that timeframe then there's no reason to rush him back and we'd likely just play it safe and shut him down. Hard to have an answer definitively right now.

    • So let me ask you this, and this is assuming you watched the first 2 games of the season. The falcons game was a back and forth between to 2 bad teams until bryce throws 2 crucial picks to help atlanta pull away. The second game was a sloppy game where the defense scored and our offense did absolutely nothing till the 4th quarter, bryce even fumbles and saints return for a TD. If Dalton starts both of those games is the outcome and playout still the same for both games?
    • sure.  I acknowledge we had a rookie making rookie mistakes.  You fail to acknowledge a pushing 40 Dalton however paired up in this trainwreck wasn't going to yield significantly better results. good results.   And Dalton didn't even win his game vs a wrecked Seattle D.  Andy Dalton couldn't even find a way for his team to beat the Carolina freaking Panthers in 2022.  A team with an interim HC, that couldn't score, playing like it was 1970.   And Andy Dalton had REAL weapons on the field at his disposal.   All Dalton had to do was score more than 10 points.  He couldn't pull that off.    I probably got as little faith in Bryce as anyone here.   But I'm not willing to go this Andy Dalton route.  Maybe he wins 4ish here.  But he wasn't doing much here.  Dalton isn't Cincy Dalton.  
    • What do you think really happens here?  Do you think that Seattle loss with half a secondary is a realistic game for Dalton to consistently have?  Do you expect 40 year old Dalton to throw it 60 times and rack up 361 yards while constantly getting hit to work against other teams?  If we played him all year do you think he would rack up 6,137 yards 34 TDs and 0 INTs on over a thousand attempts?  That games wasn't a great game.  We were trailing all game and he threw it against a terrible secondary 60 times averaging 6.6 yards an attempt.  He had one "deep" pass to Chark (wide ass open) for 27 yards who ran another 20 for a TD.  That's not happening against other teams.  I would be surprised if Dalton made it two more games taking those kinds of hits and probably losing both of those games.  Our OL sucked, Our coaches sucked, and our weapons sucked.  Remember Rhule beat Andy Dalton and his Saints offense (which has a better OL and better weapons) just the prior year.  Yeah Matt Rhule...  Darnold put up 43 yards and 2 INTs and Dalton STILL couldn't beat him.  That's embarrassing.
