Peace Frog Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I think we'll have trouble running the ball next week against the Jags, Shady or no Shady. We'll have to beat them with the pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way Shady wont suit up is if his legs amputated. I’d be willing to bet he’s out there next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CEN-CAL17 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Even if Shady is there he won’t practice. Banyard should be signed tmrrw. And Joe Webb wildcat should be part of the game plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides the fact that it is a sprain, you aren't going to get anything out of OBD before about Wednesday. For a time in the game he was questionable to return befor they downgraded him to out. I don't know if that makes him more or less hopeful to start next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 The problem is if he is close he will tell the coaches and trainers he can play. If his ankle isn't 80-90% he won't be able to be Shady. Our backups are weak. He's a fighter and extremely confident in his abilities. It's what I love about him. But there is a great chance that the sprain makes him unable to be Shady, and yet he believes and tells the coaches and trainers he can go. This is NOT a criticism of Shady. I think every competitor thinks the same way. But a sprained ankle sucks for a guy like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s high ankle sprain no way he plays if normal sprain lots of treatments can get him near 90% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His style does not mesh well with nagging injuries like that. 6 minutes ago, JR in Pittsburgh said: I am dreading the high ankle sprain. That could be like a 4-6 week injury. Doubt it's high. The concern was a break, which would tend to be lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not only going to want to play him but listen to him. And I'm not at all thinking he is going to be lying about his injury, I just think if it is close he is going to think he can go. But no one is going to know. If he can't cut like he does he is not going to be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) Melvin Gordon has a high ankle sprain and played today. I don’t know how much or what he contributed.

Get him a couple carries, motion him out, do unique things to use his rep to stress that Jags D. Even at 90%, I like Shady's chances versus Telvin (I think he's not hurt, right?) in the open field. The Jags will still have to respect him. But those 3 yard passes to the flat where he makes two guys miss for an extra couple won't happen. Rico is going to have to make some magic.

My point is really that he is such a competitor he is going to want to play. He won't know himself if he is 60-70-80-90 %. And at what point does it become a detriment.

I'm thinking if he's a detriment, McD won't hesitate to downgrade his role. Luckily, Murphy looked pretty good in a limited role tonight. Our coaches already downgraded Shady enough at what looked like 100% all year. He was being taken off the field a play or too early, IMO, in a lot of games this year.
