I went to the doctor today for a check up and he had 2 things to tell me: 1. Stop taking Zantac because it has cancer causing components and 2. The Jets should sit Sam for a couple more weeks or at least until they are 100% sure his spleen is safe to play. Of course, the second part of information was much more important to me.
If gase took notes from the pitt game and runs the offense like they did for rudolph, falk could do ok for us for 1 more game. not worth it to risk sam
My cousin got married last year and just recently bought a house in Philly. He's been begging me to come for a while now so we figured it was perfect I come down to see the Jets game. (He's a cowboys fan but roots for the Jets and will be wearing a Jets jersey) They only play there once every 8 years and it sounded like a great idea. I thought the team would be competitive so back in August we bought tickets. Im heading down with my father and we will be a group of about 6 Jets fans. Even at 0-3 I was holding out hope that we would at least have everybody back healthy, especially Mosley. As of now it looks like we are going to put up another non-competitive shit show and honestly it's a real bummer. I'm not backing out and selling the tickets because the main reason to go there was to be with family, but I'm praying for a miracle otherwise it could be a miserable 3 hours at the Linc. Not only that but if we were actually competitive we might have some fellow Jets fans there to support. But now I can't imagine any Jets fan in their right mind going to this game so we are going to be very alone I have a feeling. Let's see what Gase is made of here. We are coming off a bye against a dead last ranked pass defense. I don't give a shit who is QB, you better put up some points and put out a competitive team this week. No excuses here, figure it the fuck out. Really praying for some kind of miracle here. C'est La vie.

That really is a great article with lots of excellent detail. Unfortunately, the conclusion section is this: Loosely translated that means "We have no idea when it's actually safe for an athlete to return to activities." The closest thing they come to a specific recommendation is their Figure 2, which recommends 28 days after all symptoms are gone before resuming unrestricted activities for a contact athlete. That would put him out at least until the Patriots game.
I agree with your doctor 100%. Try avoiding tomatoes by the way. Difficult to do when you are Italian like me. Since he is supposed to be your franchise QB, what is the rush to bring him back? The OL and QB protection sucks right now. I just don't understand how Gase can run his so-called Hybrid offensive scheme when you cannot run or pass the ball due to a horrible OL. Please, let's find out who belongs and doesn't belong on the OL. For now, all I can say is your center is very suspect.
i have a feeling by the time he is cleared to play, jets will be 0-6 and will then shut him down for the year. In return, still dont really know what kind of QB he is and the "could the jets really pass on TUA or Herbert " debate will get fired up. Then the jets will take a bunch of draft picks from a team. Then they will select another fat DT to replace Leonard Williams and the 10th CB drafted since 2007 and will be cut by year 2.
People have short memories. After Sir Chadwick's first rotator cuff surgery he was medically cleared (I've talked about this before in the past). Yeah, medically cleared if you have a regular Joe day job, do your PT, hydrotherapy, light weights for rehab, mild to moderate lifting but take it easy. So let's be perfectly clear. Pennington didn't have a regular Joe day job. There he was pin-wheeling his arm in space and good luck, Maria. Dr. James Andrews, slowly I turned step by step inch by inch . . . The Jets rushed him back, and Pennington being a fierce competitor of course took the field of his own volition. But hear me out: I repeat, the Jets rushed him back and were more responsible for the early demise of a potentially great career than Pennington's own bad luck.
