He looked to be in a lot of pain at times, I was actually surprised to see him in on that TD when like 2 plays before he looked like he badly strained his groin.

It's a catch 22, because you can't sit him right now as he is the offense.  But at the same time, with how much pain he looked in at times, it just feels like he's bound to end up making it worse at some point and missing some time if he keeps the same work load.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't

This. If he can go you have to play him. Without him our offense is completely stuck in the mud and I can't give us better than 50/50 odds of beating anyone and if this team is going to push for a playoff spot sweeping the Saints feels like a must.

I think we've done enough at this point to be done with getting looked past by opponents and at some point teams are gonna start just slamming 8 and 9 in the box every down whether it's a usual passing scenario or not and absolutely selling out against the run to keep Rico from beating them.

They clearly did against Buffalo. Probably why Bryce didn't play either.

Rico didn’t have any injury issue heading into that game, that was a stubborn decision by Dave to not let Chuba lose his starting job to injury. He said before the Green Bay game that was changing. Not sure if Bryce was fit to play or not.

He looked banged up yesterday like he gave everything he had and then some 

 

If we can’t beat the Saints with Chuba then we have no business winning that game.

 

Rest Rico and get the team right to run the brakes off Atlanta

wut? Riding Rico is literally the only way we can win football games.  And you want to not do that in a winnable game? 

we have seen w/ Hubbard that it takes more than our gameplan to win a game.....we need the opponent to have painfully horrific offense in addition to that.   

You play to win the game.  You ride Rico until he can't ride.

Young only had  like 102 yards passing. I thought he had more than that.

Yeah, get him checked out and let him largely manage it.

I would be in favor of running him hard and piling up a lead and then pulling him if he was good with it. 
I’d be in favor of getting Etienne more involved. 
 

Said from the beginning it is 17 games, we would need both backs. Before I knew what a beast Rico is. Didn’t see him being the one to need spelling.

      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.
