drsamuel84 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Reports are that he's got a torn meniscus and will be a game time decision.....Why? Just shut him down. I'm sure the doctor's have told the coaching staff that he can't do more damage by playing but at the same time this a 31 year old running back, who's had a ton of carries this year, with a history of knee problems who we're, for the most part contractually obligated to have on the roster next year. Stop playing games and just shut him down already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewilly12 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 No reason in the world to keep playing him lets see what Powell and others can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohio State NY Jets fan Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 He gets 6M next year regardless so it would be nice if he is healthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powell has been here for like 6 years. We know what he can do. If its torn though, of course. Shut him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJoTownsell1 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 As an owner of Powell in my fantasy football league I completely agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. its hard to argue with fortes career and he HAS Had his moments here. But he doesn't leave me saying, "he needs to get the ball in his hands more" like Powell does. Powells acceleration is above average and it's THAT aspect of his game that leaves me shaking my head, asking, "am I the only one seeing this? Why the hell isnt he the starter!?"

Matthew007b Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I agree with the OP... there's no point in having a guy hurt playing especially when he's under contract next year. Might as well bring up practice squad mates since we're in preseason mode anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
