Ugh….

Anyone see White’s reaction? I think that in itself would give us a very good idea of what is going on. We have seen how he reacted to ACL and Achilles; know what it looks like. He is very expressive. If it didn’t look like that, I’d say there’s some hope that it isn’t major…

Hamler continues to give the offense a spark with the rare opportunities he gets. Still think its too bad he won't make this team.

On the subject of safeties, has anyone been watching Forrest? Thought he might have been a decent backup plan. But I am not hearing much about him one way or another

Saw something about Hancock getting hurt on a play earlier. What happened?

This is going to be a depressing episode of Hard Knocks

***** the Chiefs

I guess I am in the minority here. I enjoyed Episode 2 more than Episode 1. That said, I have one complaint thus far: Where's Keon!?

HAMLER!! Up I know it was just one play, but just like last year, he brings an element to our offense that nobody else we have at WR can offer. He's a home run hitter and deep ball target. We saw what having a home run threat brought to the table last year with James Cook; it was something we never had prior to James Cook. The more speed you put on the field at the same time, the tougher it is to defend; the more defenses will have to account for it when he is out there, even if that might be a relatively low # of snaps per game. This kid was always a solid player when healthy and given an opportunity to play. The problem is he was hurt often in Denver and stuck on the PS last year with us. Idk... obviously with Shavers breaking out and having an impressive off-season, Hamler will most likely be on the outside looking in (again). It's too bad though.

I wonder, with all the comparisons to Crosby, would Landon Jackson still get drafted in the 3rd round if Crosby never existed? It's kinda like all those "next Josh Allens" that have been drafted in the first round after 2018. Pretty sure every last one of them has been garbage. And that's because Allen was always the exception. Trey Lance, anyone?

Been saying it since last year. Don't know why Hamler can't make the active roster. He brings a skillset to the table that nobody else in the WR has. Smh

Silver lining here… More reps for Forrest(?) I don’t like that Bishop is hurt for the second straight year, especially considering we invested a 2nd round pick in him, but I am just saying… From the moment we signed him, Forrest Jr. was regarded as one of those guys that might be a pretty special player if he ever got the opportunity. and in his limited opportunities with the Commanders, he was pretty darn good.

Obviously not ideal but fine as long as this doesn't turn into yet another situation where a player reveals at the end of the season they had been playing all year on an injury incurred in the pre-season. Wait until he is 100%, even if it means missing a couple games, instead of having him at 80% all year with a higher chance to reaggravate. Is this not the "everybody eats" offense? If so, the WR position should be best suited for "next man up" than any other on this roster, hopefully.

So, if it’s NOT a torn ACL, what are the possibilities here. Anyone know? Any time I hear non contact leg it seems to practically guarantee ACL or Achilles I remember Reggie Ragland years ago tearing both ACLs and was able to walk off the field immediately after. So the fact Hairston “walked off” doesn’t do a whole lot for me.

For me, it has always been White Mike

I’m a lifelong NFL fan like most of you, so I’ve seen quite a bit of gruesome injuries and whatnot, but Alex Smith’s was on a whole other level and the mere fact that he came back and played football on THAT leg, seeing it now, makes me want to barf, frankly.

Before there was “Action Jackson”, MarShawn Lynch gave Fred Jackson the nickname “Head”

I remember this very well. Exactly as you described it too. Apparently a lot of other fans remember the same thing. A lot of my memories from regular season games that long ago are pretty vague and yet we all remember the “CJ Mosley game”. Probably helped that it was the season opener.

On a side note, it’s kinda cool that we have become to the Ravens in the playoffs what the Chiefs have been to us 😂

We shall see. I sincerely hope I am wrong, but something like this may impact Hairston’s chance to be the day one starter we all expected. Off season reps are extremely important for rookies. And someone brought up a good point earlier about Cole Bishop and how his off season injury last year had a significant impact on his preparation and ability to compete for the starting job. I really, really hope this injury to Hairston does not linger.

I know nobody wants to hear or believe this (including myself). It was a thought it my head about a month ago, but now, with this news, I’m going to officially make the call: Dorian Strong wins the job over Hairston. it’s Kaiir Elam vs Benford all over again. Guys both players were even drafted in the same rounds I mean come on we did it to ourselves 🤣

Hodor...... Henry is worth 15 million, yes......at age 31. Cook is 25 and prime age for a RB. Henry at 25 would be more than 15 mil in today's (new) RB market. I'm not so sure that this contract hurt James value as much as some may believe.

Also Troy Polallamalamu

Think we all know what the cover image is going to be as well. I’d be shocked with Anything other than the “backwards hurdle”

How many of the TEs ranked below him would have caught that final pass against KC? That's really all I care about. And those are the guys I want.
