jjab360 with his version:
I'd define coming back from an injury as the moment the player steps out onto the field again. That's the only definition that makes sense to me.

Playing like you used to is another thing entirely.

Just like I thought, not everyone was on the same page.
 
rhinobean with an optimistic view:
I'm hoping he's blowing smoke! Seems obvious we need some young blood on the O line that's starter quality1

Let's hope he's as smart as we are eh? :D
 
Nah, I think it's better if he's as smart as we are. Better for the Rams too.

Now, if he'd just start taking my phone calls. :disappoint:

I think we need to keep sending lots of positive vibes out just in case.
 
Snead has often indicated that he likes to take offensive linemen late and let them develop into starters, but I also don't think he would be able to pass on great talent.

For those who say take the best available player, should be a O lineman there early!
 
I've never played offensive line, but I would think a knee injury would still have a huge impact for a LT. You need that lateral quickness to stop a speed rush, don't you? And isn't that what the ACL injury affects most?

Yes. And planting of the leg(s) while the body resists the opposing force is more strenuous than people think.

Good first post psx! It's great to start out with a like. Although I don't know what they do for you. I think you get a title or something eventually.

I think you're correct in that assumption. I'm keeping my toes crossed he'll recover enough to be effective again.
