The question of whether NFL players will report for work on Tuesday is no longer a matter of “what if?”

Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that safety Ryan Clark has informed his Steelers teammates to show up for work on Tuesday morning.

“I’m trying to get guys there at 8 o’clock, to get out there and show we want to be here, we want too be part of this organization and we want to be on the field,” Clark said. “We want to show this is not a litigation process but an attempt to have football in 2011.”

Still unclear if the doors will be locked, but I wonder how many other players from other teams will follow suit (if they haven't already and we just don't know)

What remains to be seen if whether players opt to try to workout at team facilities Tues AM. That could be interesting. Some agents I was...in contact with said they wouldn't urge their players to do so, and noted that this would not be a normal time for OTAs, but in concept...A team facility could open by 7AM, ET, and Judge Nelson's court likely at perhaps 9AM, CT, so there would be a pre-stay ruling window ...Once again, it's unchartered territory for us all - fans, players, owners, coaches, GMs, agents, even lawyers and judges. No template here

Players can't report on Tuesday...

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d81f77c4f/article/judge-rules-for-players-lockout-to-be-lifted-nfl-set-to-appeal?module=HP_headlines

here's what you need to know...

"As of now, there is no mechanism in place for teams to conduct football business. NFL team officials are thus not allowed to contact players or agents. Also, several agents said they would not advise players to attempt to workout or enter NFL team headquarters Tuesday morning -- which would be conceivable in theory with Nelson not ruling on the stay until Tuesday. Additionally, an NFLPA official said he did not expect players to try to report to teams, given that no OTAs or minicamps are scheduled and there is no official business of that sort generally conducted at this point until after the draft. Though NFL clubs would generally be overseeing workouts by players at the facility in a more informal manner"

      Rams since you beat them already and they are 0-2 on the road against NFC South teams.

      Seahawks or Rams

      Let's say we take care of business against the Bucs and/or the Falcons take care of the Saints and we lock that 4th seed for the playoffs. Who do we root for this Sunday in the NFC West matchup with Seahawks at San Francisco winner takes the NFC West division. A Seahawks win would mean we face the Rams at home or with a 49ers win we host the Seahawks again.  Which opponent would most prefer? In the earlier Rams game we won primary due to turnovers specifically Mike Jackson pick-6 in combination with a good running game with Chuba and Rico whereas we kept the Rams offense off the field and Bryce was able to connect on two big 4th down throws for touchdowns. However when the Rams offense was on the field they pretty much got whatever they wanted, Williams and Corum gashed us in the run game, and we had no answer for Devonte Adams. Granted whe were missing some pieces on defense with Horn and Moehrig. Against Seattle our defense held it's own for the most part, it was our offense and turnovers which aided in the Panthers loss.  Seattle was the most stingy, best tackling defense the Panthers have played all season, and when we turned Darnold over we didn't do much with it.  The offense had no answers for what the defense was throwing at them and apparently were caught off guard by the amount of man coverage the Seahawks played.  With all that who do you think would be the better matchup the 2nd time around? I trust Stafford far more than I do Darnold, both running games are on par with each other, of the defenses Seattle has the dominant unit.  I personally prefer Seattle again, that would mark their 3rd consecutive road game, we've just played them, so we know exactly what to expect, and I feel Caneles should be able to come up with a better scheme to counteract what the Seahawks defense was doing, and we may be able to trip Darnold up, I don't want to try and win another shootout against the Rams.

      I remember watching him at bama and thinking he throws a lot of wobbly non spiral balls that have very little velocity. Knew it would be a real problem in the NFL and it is.
