I personally think he's one of the worst OGs we've ever had aside Nate Chandler to play substantial regular season snaps.  We have a good swing lineman in Brady at LT, LG..not to mention, Yosh can and has played LT, RT, and LG effectively in the NFL.  

Extremely poor performance, one alright preseason game stretch, long term hammy injuries, freak injury last season, again terrible play, with a staff that didn't draft him.  I don't see how he's valuable compared to some of the UDFAs/late signings.   

He was one of the worst linemen ever last year.  But, I don't think he was quite right.  He has looked like a completely different player so far in the preseason this year.  I think it's a little early to be pulling the plug on him.  If he had a bad camp and preseason I'd say see ya later.

That’s fair. I’m definitely more out than in, but we’ll see/no reason to hate it if he stays. If they keep him, best case, maybe he becomes decent depth over time.

I think Reich played him way before he was ready. If I remember correctly, he was injured in most of TC so he missed a lot of reps then thrown into the starting lineup after week 1. I think he looked decent his first game but fell apart after that. He had that scary injury where he landed on top of his head too. Had to be carted off. Just a rough rookie year.

He was a rookie that was hurt in TC and then immedialely thrust into a starting role by our brain trust staff.  We are not in any position to be cutting 2nd year 4rth round lineman picks.

Joe Brady is with the Bills and they just got a look at TMJ. Maybe a potential landing spot for him. Wish the dude turned it on sooner, we might not have needed to draft his replacement in Mingo. 

I'm pulling for TMJ and a change of scenery might serve him well, but I doubt it.  He's had more opportunities than any other player that I can remember and he couldn't deliver and this is on a team that has had one of the weakest WR rosters in the NFL since TMJ was drafted.

It wasn't admitted to by the front office, although they probably suspected he might.  

It was certainly discussed here and by a few in the media.  

Honestly, just stash him on season ending IR. It isn't that relevant. We have enough decent production there. 

Let him heal up and be at 100% in 2025.

I take the view that he needs to get back out there and get some action and build some confidence in his repaired knee. Not saying to rush anything, but there is stuff that can be accomplished this year that will set him up for 2025.  

Plus we need to see him before next year to see what we really have. Will he be healthy? There is a chance no, I guess. You won’t be 100% sure until you see him going good and hard.

It just depends on timeline. It seems like he might be behind schedule and if that is indeed the case, there is no reason to rush. He has basically gotten zero reps with the team and if he isn't back until Week 8 or later, really what is the point unless we have a spate of injuries at RB? Not that I care tremendously but there is a point where I am not sure we are really doing him a service by just throwing him out there.

Not particularly invested in what happens in that regard, provided that he is actually completely healthy. If we put him out there too soon and he blows the knee out again, now that scenario will be extremely infuriating.

If his knee is healthy it is healthy. When it is is healed it is healed.

Infuriating as it may be for him to get a new injury or the repair not hold up, you would at least know that you couldn’t count on the player before spending an offseason believing he was good to go.. 

it does happen to players through no one’s fault. Bodies are unique.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      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.

      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.
