From Mono to 0-4 in one month...Getting Mosley back is an even bigger deal.This team hasnt been the same since he got hurt and left the game.
I’m glad that Sam will be coming back. But I’d be even happier to see Mangold and D’Brick on the line, keeping him upright
He showed heart. He played while sick against a very tough defensive front. Why would you expect to judge it based on the very first time the offense played together as a unit, regardless?
Sam is definitely a bigger deal. Getting both back is huge though. They are literally the QB's of the offense and defense. Quinnen Williams is a big factor on the D-line. Jenkins is the Jets' best pass rusher. And we don't know what Demaryius Thomas has left in the tank, but he still has the ability to be a solid #2 WR and can help Sam out. Herndon returns for the Cowboys game too. The Jets are going to be much better.
I had glandular fever or "mono" about 10 years ago and I've never felt that sick. Up all night literally shaking with chills, followed by a high fever and sweats followed by a week of not being able to eat anything because I felt so sick and my throat was so sore causing me to lose almost 10kgs (or about 20lbs) in 2 weeks. All up I was all but bedridden for almost 3 weeks and took another month or so to properly recover. I can't imagine how he got through an NFL game after the chills came on the night before, and I wouldn't be rushing him back either. One of the things about mono is if you push yourself to recover too hard before your body is ready it can potentially lead to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
I think they said Sam would get tests on his spleen today. If it goes well, he will return to practice Wednesday. If not, clearly out another week. Should hear something today.
Gase regularly scheduled conference call at 12:30 today. Hopefully we'll know more. Honestly... I'm fine if Sam misses games for as long as we have this dogshit OL and dogshit staff.
IMO, Darnold not being cleared means to me the next time he plays is likely against the cowboys or patriots.
Just like that, one of the first times I will have not watched the first 1/4th of a Jets season. No need to tune into the upcoming fuck fest this weekend.
