I mean call it what you will but anyone who has played a sport, even at the HS level, can understand that a competitor would rather be playing than sitting out.

Everybody I knew who was a decent athlete growing up, myself included, would play thru pain and injuries as much as humanly possible.  None of those guys are ever 100% healthy and without pain.  It sucks but thats how it is.  I guess it goes back to the whole "are you hurt, or are you injured."

If he tears that hamstring the season is over for him. It’s not exactly an injury that is static. A hamstring injury can and will get worse if it’s not nursed properly.

Just look at Darren Waller, a hamstring injury nearly destroyed his career and he’s still having issues, albeit it has more to do with a nerve rather than the actual muscle.

We aren’t talking about a broken finger here.

Have a feeling he and Bryce are gonna go off tonight to the tune of 130+ yards and over 20 yards per reception

Lets go!  Tired of all the damn doom and gloom around here after 1 fuging week of football.  We absolutely can win this game tonight.  The Saints are not some unbeatable juggernaut.  I think itll be a good, close fought game and we win.

Can you guys just take a breath and not turn at least 1 thread into something negative?  This is just getting to be too much.  It is hard to wrap my head around how people who are "fans" of a team hate it so much after 1 frigging game.

Will Chark finish this game healthy?  I do not  know, but then I do not know that about any player.  I am just happy that he will be on the field...it is something positive and hopeful. I will be in that space today.  Some of you should try it....just start with a few minutes.

Preach.  Glass is permanently half empty here. 

My counter - Chark gets loose on at least one pass that goes for 40+

My best friend growing up was also a football teammate up through middle school.

As I recall, he'd had arthroscopic surgery on both knees by the time he was in the eighth grade.

He didn't play high school ball because he just couldn't anymore.

Give it to 'em LP.  I agree 100%.  WE have a building team for the long run.

There is no "long term" with DJ Chark. You play him full throttle on the off chance he's actually healthy, because those times are few and far between.

I meant long term for the season, not years down the road. I’d rather he miss the first two or three games and then be good for the rest of the year than miss the first and then go on season ending IR after game five or something.

I appreciate your posts. This will help people even if they don’t speak up. Thank you.

I mean yeah.  Sports are hell on your body.  I was a pitcher from middle school all the way thru D-1 in college and ended up with a torn labrum, tommy john surgery and a spinal fusion lol.

Yep. Did my fair share of damage to myself over the years.

I know a while back we had a thread where we talked about old sports injuries. Seems like a load of us were walking wounded 😆

    • Haven’t watched it yet, but whining about the line (which wasn’t nearly as bad as the Young fanboys’ narrative says it was) and the pass catchers is the siren song of people who refuse to admit they were wrong about Young during the draft process. I still hope Young is able to develop, but I’m not expecting it. 
    • disagree.   going into last year....some said Frank's O and the talented we added around Bryce didn't fit very well.  And that he would likely struggle as teams sat on our pass game with Bryce.   And that was basically how the entire season unfolded.   They didn't have the talent or scheme for Bryce to get the ball out quick....and the results were going to be bad for him without it.  It's not his fault given we drafted him...but Bryce not fitting what we wanted to do offensively, killed the O.  Mentioning that got you destroyed on the board last year.  That's still the case IMO.  Bryce Young is not the QB that you want running a Canales O.  But again, that won't be Bryce's fault.  This is all Tepper's creation and pairing of things. 
    • I feel largely the same way I did entering last year.  What we are attempting to be on O.....doesn't matchup with Bryce Young.   Scheme nor talent.  I think Canales would pair much better with a young Jake Delhomme.  And Johnson and XL would be great additions for a young Jake Delhomme.  It would be fun.  Bryce is going to make this OL look worse.  He is too small to be in a traditional pocket/scheme at this level.   Bryce Young needs an innovative/Bryce Young centric O scheme to succeed with a bunch of quick YAC check down talent.  That's not Canales.
