Josh in a boot after Tampa game (now says he's "good to go", no effects)

[LABILLBACKER]

They'll be more boots in Josh's future if McD & Beane don't lock themselves in a room and begin a plan for a full OL/RB rebuild. No RB is safe (sorry Motor) and besides maybe Dawkins and Brown,  no olineman is safe.

He'll be fine.

They also need a "Run Game Coordinator". If Daboll sticks around, it's obvious he's not a run game expert, we need help. And a new O-Line Coordinator while we're at it.

 

I can't see Daboll getting a head coaching gig after this season. How could he come up with a satisfying answer to the first interview question: "Why did you only run 5% of the time in so many games?" So if he's not here next year, it'll be due to firing.

You live on Pats and GB boards so that you know that they haven't been? 🤔

 

Fundamentally, Tom Brady has always had a more effective OL, an effective run game, and a passing game designed for the quick release.  Even so, NE's neglect to replenish quality WR is one reason he decamped from NE.

 

Aaron Rodgers has been "yelping for help" to the point of threatening to decamp from GB.

Obviously that turned out to be, as with many things Rodgers, just BS. 

 

Brady got tired of winning SBs for BB, I don't think it was mainly about WRs.  He won 6 SB with nobodies and zero his only significant WR (Moss) in NE.

Singletary should be safe.  One more year on his rookie contract.  He’s played well this season.  It’s not his fault our OL stinks.  
 

Breida and Moss 👋🏻 buh bye.  
 

I’m eager to see what we do along the OL.  Sadly, I only expect 1-2 new starters, while I prefer that it’s 3 minimum.

Too bad we can't hire Roman for that...one of the best running games I have ever seen when he was here...literally could put anyone in there and rip off 60 yard TD runs.

 

Mike Gillislee anyone?

 

Dude averaged 5.7 YPC in his 2 years with the Bills and never even sniffed 4.0 with any other team.

Taking away Allens escapability will make him a better player.  Steve Young credits having a leg injury made him become a hall of fame Qb.  Time will tell.  Allen is like a modern day Farve.  Hard to keep him off the field.

Not sure if it's been posted... but sounds like it's a mild case of turf toe

 

Anyone know how that works?  Can you stabilize it?  Will it just inevitably get worse playing on it?

Fundamentally if we're counting on our rush game to be Josh Allen for the rest of the season, Don't.

So turf toe is a toe sprain?  Does it take longer to heal than an ankle sprain?  To me a mild ankle sprain can heal in 1-2 weeks.

Allen reminds me of a bigger version of Elway. Gun for an arm and can run and scramble out of trouble. Also can run to pick up first downs. Lets hope Beane can build a better OL and find Allen's version of Terrell Davis to help him.

 he’ll be boot scoot boogieN next game.

Well this is much better news than I was expecting to be honest. Let him sit this week and be ready for New England

Turf toe is no joke, it can persist a long time.   The agony of the feet: Why turf toe is such a dreaded injury in the NFL

Star - Toe Injury - Out

 

Allen - Toe injury - Still runs for 100 yards

I heard they got an expert coming in to take a closer look: 

 

 

[Bray Wyatt]

I think it is probably better that it is on his left foot and not right as that’s the one he will have to push off of to throw

But Star could not run for 100 yards BEFORE injury.

You absolutely can not sit him in this game. It’s the most must win game of the year at this point. Can’t afford the risk
