Lets make a bet

Mariota didn't practice either today. Might not be a big deal, maybe just resting him. If he doesn't practice tomorrow, chances are not looking good for him to play.

 

Sprains do not require surgery. Tears, however, do require surgery particularly if you want maximize the stability of the knee.

 

My point is clear. NOT TRUE about Metts assessment. We judge him based on not winning a game, but thats dumb when you consider Charlie won 2 games vs terrible teams and a healthier O-Line, compared to what Mett had infront of him. If you go back and watch the Giants Game, you will see. YES we lost 2 QBs that day for season ending.

 

A full tear will heal on its own.

 

Then why would anyone have surgery? Why would any orthopedic surgeon advise surgery?

 

I bet we draft a right tackle early next year

 

Boy we have a lot of doctors on this site.

 

I really hope not...

I'd much rather we find a good / great / elite RT in FA.

We can't use our early picks on OL (we've done that enough with Chance / Lewan). We need impact players... Game changers...

Plus I don't want to wait until another rookie 'grows into' being an OL, we need someone who can protect Marcus NOW (which includes helping the run game, b/c young QBs NEED that).

Also, seeing as how it looks we'll have a high pick for the draft, that just adds to what I'm saying. We need to get a difference maker @ DL/LB, CB, S, or WR.

 

I agree with this, but finding that RT should have happened last off season. One of the reasons this FO/GM needs the boot.
