I love how everyone says that now, but it's like... it's happened 1 time.. with Josh Allen. NOW though, expect everyone to have an improvement like that!

I think it's less that and more that until enough time passes/somebody else does similar, it's going to be a thing people bring up with high picked QBs who haven't just lit things on fire their first year or two.

Word is that they only expect Henry to be out a couple of weeks and that it's nothing serious. Hoodie could be playing this close to the vest though. 

 

Quote

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry is expected to miss "a couple of weeks" with a shoulder injury he suffered Sunday, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

This is actually a (very well done) parody account but not sure if the first sentence might be accurate 

 

First sentence is correct. Wilson failed to complete a TD all day and closed on an INT.

 

Second sentence is hilarious, but made up by the parody account.

 

Great parody account, btw. Same one that tricked a lot of us regarding Kelvin Benjamin being cut for "stealing food".

Even though we all laugh at this, though we probably shouldn't, how Jetsy of a scenario is this? :lol: A guy they are counting on to contribute at WR drops 20lbs in the offseason from getting some bad salmon at the local bodega.

The fact that he “covers” the jets and giants makes his tweets believable 😄

How the hell do you lose 20 lbs from food poisoning? Is that normal?

 

Is he just exaggerating or trying to cover something up?

 

Is he playing way over normal weight?

 

It's certainly possible. I'm scrawny by nature, but when I got e.coli a few years ago I lost about 12lbs in 3 days. The constant evacuation out of both ends will do that. Most of it is water weight, and ending up severely dehydrated.

 

When I was playing rugby, I was constantly lifting and bulking in order to get to a max of 180lbs. If I had been at that when getting food poisoning, I probably would have easily shed 20 pounds in a week.

That sucks.

 

I was thinking about MMA fighters too, burning a crazy amount of fat and water weight prior to weigh-ins.

.....Trey Smith.....

 

National media making the rounds through KC Camp.....all repeating the same thing.  Steal of the draft.

 

I propose the theory that anyone KC drafted would be "steal of the draft"

....when I say steal of the draft...I am not being a homer chearleader.  The guy is going to make the pro bowl as a rookie.....he was drafted in the 6th round, 3 picks before round 7 started.

Is he the RG? Chris Jones was raving about "the RG" (I guess he couldn't think of his name) in his recent interview on NFL Network.

Has he been fitted for his gold jacket yet?

Look, no one denies that Smith has talent. The reason he fell is because teams were wary of is history of blood clots. It's not news that he's a capable player. It will be news if he stays healthy and proves 31 other teams' (32 if you count KC waiting until round six to pick him) medical evaluators wrong.
