Yeah, he’s popped a few times, he’s just so inconsistent. His good games are great but his bad games are terrible. He’s like that fantasy player you never know whether to start or not. He’ll go crazy some weeks and completely disappear others.
And let’s not forget he’s literally coming off spinal fusion surgery which is why he hasn’t signed anywhere yet. We need a guy who hits the ground running and I don’t know that he’ll be it.
I was less of an ASJ fan though I didn’t think he stunk. And he’s definitely not ideal stylistically. That being said, my impression of Staley’s defense and coverage schemes is that they are viewed as unnecessarily complicated and difficult on young defenders.
Could be, I know there were plenty of complaints about it.
Even if he passes this upcoming scan in October, that just means he can play football again, not that he’ll be ready to. Based on the way we’ve done things in the past, I’m pretty sure we’d give him a month or so to ramp up, then ease him in. And at that point, what good is he to us?
Eh, he’ll be able to hit the ground running when he gets back at least, though I agree that couldn’t have come at a worst time for my take that he’s no more injury prone than most guys. I still think it’s mostly just awful luck, but I’m well aware I’m on my own with that take.
At least it didn’t cost us in the comp pick game. For a mil a year I can live with it. I actually prefer to hold him out until December so it’s perfect scenario for me regarding Davenport.
If we can get Asante in healthy soon , he will be up to speed in a month or so I’d hope.
This is provided of course the scan says he’s good to go. That operation was in April. Most seem to think there’s a good chance they may tell him “it’s healing well, you should be good to go in 6 months.” I honestly think there’s a less than 2% chance he’s a potential answer. Even if the scans say he’s good to go now, I think by the time he’s ready to contribute Reed would be back anyway.
Kind of. I don’t think Pickens is a glass eater. Ducey is. He’s tough as nails. But he’s also significantly more insane than Pickens. But he’s seemingly always playing until the conference Championship game.
I mean… we did make the NFCCG last time he was near our locker room. And the Eagles made 2 Super Bowls… won one and lost one. I think the guy’s crazy too, but he plays hard and wins.
