32EBoozer Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 34 minutes ago, New York Mick said: That’s what caused that lol A report that Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson’s ACL injury came while he was “trotting” in Thursday’s practice is enlightening but by no means shocking. To date this year, 31 of the 43 ACL tears in the NFL happened before the regular season. By our count, 15 of those 31 pre-season tears occurred in practice. More than 70 percent of ACL tears are the result of non-contact incidents. This is not an injury that occurs due to excessive force. An ACL tear occurs when the foot is stuck in the ground and the knee has an unexpected force. The muscles around the knee normally absorb most of the force. If the player does not expect the injury, the muscles can't assist and the body relies completely on the ligament. That is when tears happen. So Watson having been going less-than-full-speed on a routine play is completely believable. This also hopefully bodes well for an isolated ACL injury versus the muli-ligament injuries that often go along with the dreaded ACL tear. In addition to the “benefits” of tearing the right ACL versus the re-tearing his left one, an isolated tear would increase hope for Watson being the Texans’ starting QB in Week 1 of the 2018 season. Watson has completed 61.8% of his passes for 1,699 yards with 19 touchdowns and eight interceptions this season. He has also picked up 269 yards on 36 carries and scored two touchdowns on the ground.

As soon as he makes the pick, the next 6 picks will go on a flash and I’ll be thinking I’ve got 6-9 hours before my pick. And then I’ll check JN only to see my pick was made by the board.

Dcat Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 Hey guys... just came back. I see we are starting out poorly. Where is @LAD_Brooklyn??? OK I'll make a pick for the steelers. They already took a safety and OLB. When I pick for no-shows, I go with team need and they need OL, WR, ILB (Shazier), and yes, RB because Bell will beleaving them after the 2018 season. Let me look at whats out there and make a pick. I'll need a few more minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But once the timer is up, it's up. I think we should go to 2-hour limits now. This just isn't that hard to do.

Great mid round value He’s prolly my favorite RB in this class; he doesn’t move like he weighs 235, and the Skins have openly mentioned how important it is for them to land a “bell cow” back to improve their 28th rated rush offense.
