The Doctor is in ... Zod's season prognosis...

This is a little odd, I haven't been to camp, but I would have thought Rivera would have made camp a little more serious, since he is a "no nonsense" kind of guy.

I am just wanting to see this team get better, and see Cam progress through the season.

As of now, I am going to say 7-9

With all due deference to our esteemed Emperor Zod, I hope you are wrong. Perhaps blind homerism is my chief character flaw, but I have to believe we can do better than that. I say six, possibly seven wins. Lax camp or not, a hugely improved O-line, a pounding set of RBs, and a linebacking corps that acts like wolves just introduced to red meat for the first time lead me to believe they have six or seven wins in them.

Will be checking out camp in the next few days and will be seeing if it stays the same. Different coaches do different things. Fox already ran a pretty serious camp with lots of physicality but based on the 3 winning seasons in 9 years it is hard to say that is more effective than one that is more laid back.

I suspect that the new rules are affecting camp and they all are less physical and more about board work and walk throughs. It will also be interesting to see if things change in the event we play poorly in preseason.

In any event I think that 5-11 is a safe bet at this point. Hard to expect more with the youth at such critical positions and short time to get prepared.

    • 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.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • 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.
