A receiver's land of opportunity (or field of quicksand).

We have 6 active WRs on the squad. One, or more of these guys (other than the old man) will seize the moment, catch the dream, and run with it. These suspect youngsters, and other teams' throw-aways will never have a better opportunity to show that they can be productive receivers in the NFL. Only chicken poo calls from the sidelines, bad and/or inexperienced QB play, and/or an O-line that has more holes in it than springtime streets in Detroit will stand in their way.

But, really, in the end I don't think that this motley crew of receivers will be able to blame anyone but themselves if they don't seize the day and make the most of it. I realize that there is plenty of reason to be negative or apathetic about what we have witnessed thus far, but a new day is on the horizon. I, for one, am decidedly optimistic, interested, and downright fascinated to see how this soap opera of the wide-outs is going to turn out.

It depends on how you look at it. we have 6 WR in a run heavy offense plus a new coach coming that wont have any loyalty to any of these guys.

So it could be a bad situation just depends on your outlook.

      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.
