Wilson goes through workout today

Ok, so you honestly believe that one week of practice after sitting four weeks is enough? 

Stop working out for a month and comeback to the gym. It takes nearly 2-3 weeks to catch back up. It is the same with sports. 

I think week 3 would be feasible for his return and with less pressure on him.

Just my humble opinion and I respect yours.

The outcome of game one will determine Zach's return. If Flacco blows, we insert Zach immediately; but if everything is hitting on high cylinders with Flacco, that should carry an extra game with him to validate a pattern. Zach will benefit from watching an established offense for two consecutive weeks. 

As per Saleh in today's press conference if Zach is healthy & feeling good, he Will start, Period... stated he doesn't Need to be "caught up".

Exactly.  Adding just a bit of doubt in the minds of the Ravens so that they have to at least think about the chance of Wilson playing.

Something tells me Jim Harbaugh isn’t losing any sleep over the prospect of Kapono playing.

I don’t think even Saleh is foolish enough to believe anybody in the league fears Zach Wilson.

If anything, it would be a boon to their defense licking its chops at the prospect or takeaways and at being afforded the ability to tee off on the QB.

Nobody holds the ball longer than ZW.

Sounded likely to me, only if problem will he sit and problem not expected.  We'll know soon enough.

Something tells me the same thing about John Harbaugh.

What I meant

John it is

the only ones who think the league fears ZW are hyper-optimistic Jet fans

Saleh essentially said that if Wilson’s knee feels good  after today’s workout, he’s starting 

Ok, thanks.

[maury77]

For those of us that want a definitive answer as to whether Wilson is the long term solution, the more games he plays the better, so I hope he plays on Sunday (although I would not play him if I were the coach until he had a week or 2 of actual practice to catch up).

He doesn't need to fear him but you can bet your ass he respects him. It's a matter of time to prepare for QBs with different skill sets. They'll play defense a little differently against each QB and so giving them less time to prepare against one is just a no brainer.

Just for sheer board entertainment value, I hope they play Wilson and go the old Mac Jones 3 pass game plan which leads us to victory.  

This place would be electric.

Good point - I imagine he's gameplanning for Hawaii.

Hes 100% playing.  He doesnt even have a wrap on the knee.  He will wake up tomorrow, knee will feel fine and he will take the starter snaps Wednesday and notch it up to full speed.

If only Will Smith was in the league.

[Untouchable]

Anyone who believes that Wilson is playing on Sunday is a goof.

All this news tells me is that he’s definitely suiting up against Cleveland as opposed to the Jets holding him out until the Bengals game.

Flacco has been taking all of the 1st team reps for nearly a month and the NFL loves any sort of “revenge” headline (see Watson returning against Houston for a prime example), no matter how insignificant and antiquated.

Wait, you think the Jets will make a decision based on what is the better NFL story line? 

[JohnnyLV]

Seems to me that many here do not understand what in-season practice is like.  It is very opponent focused and there really is not a huge amount of reps as there is in training camp. Because of this, another week of "practice" is not really going to make that much difference because you would have to give Flacco a lot of reps to get ready for the game and in the end Zach maybe gets like 40-50 additional reps at most going week 2 instead of week 1. If he is healthy, no reason not to let him start. Here is a typical NFL team schedule for a game week:

Monday (after a Sunday game)

Morning

Coaches evaluate game film, which helps them develop the upcoming week’s priorities and the overall message for the team

Players arrive at the facility and receive treatment to begin recovery from Sunday’s game

Training staff release the injury report, letting coaches know each player’s availability for the week of practices and perhaps even for the next game

Afternoons

Head coach discusses the team’s performance in their previous game and evaluates whether they met their goals during an all-team meeting

Players attend position meetings where they receive their grades

Evenings

Coaches strategize for the next game by studying their upcoming opponent’s film

Players receive treatment from trainers and continue their conditioning

Tuesday (players’ day off)

Morning

Coaches study more video to get their strategy ready for the upcoming opponent

Coaches then bring their ideas and recommendations to the coaches’ game plan meetings

Afternoons

Coaches finalize aspects of the game plan by drawing first- and second-down plays on cards for the team to run during practice

Evenings 

Coaches continue working on the next game’s strategy

Wednesday (first practice)

Teams practice for about 120-130 total plays between offense, defense and special teams (during season a few of these will be padded but not all)

Thursday

Teams practice third-down situations and introduce red-zone and two-minute drills with around 80-90 plays uring season a few of these will be padded but not all)

Friday (Fast Friday)

Teams practice tight red-zone, short-yardage and goal-line situations without pads — about 45-50 plays — with a focus on speed and precision

Saturday

Teams practice without pads, running through all possible scenarios — intended to be easier, slower and a lighter practice

Teams focus on mental preparation so players can physically rest the day before gameday and coaches can run a final review of the plays and game situations they want to implement for Sunday’s game

Sunday – Gameday

This is footage from today? If so, he looks fine  and there’s no brace… seems likely to play unless the CS wants to shelf him to be overly cautious

Absolutely, he will. Then proceed to get reinjured on the first quarter, be iffy about coming back in 4 weeks, drag that out, and eventually be out for the year.

I don't disagree with any of that, my point (and I should have been clearer) is that I don't want to hear excuses from the coaching staff that Wilson was rusty because he missed a few weeks of practice. 

We both know the excuses are coming. There is going to be plenty of spin doctoring this year. Doesn’t mean Zach won’t have a good year, I just don’t think he’s going to take a “huge” leap and the coaches are going to be preaching patience.

Not sure if that video is from today... it doesn't say...if it is he's looks pretty good to me.. just wait until later today to see how the knee reacted to the workout... no inflammation/tenderness... Zach Will Start on Sunday.

Zach after his knee therapy ...

He hasn’t gotten enough reps. He needs more practice. He needs to be 100%. WTF is with you guys? 

Baker Mayfield played almost the entire season in a shoulder harness and had a cracked rib. This is football. Everyone gets banged up. Put him  in a knee brace, get him on the field and LFG!

Probably, but we shouldn't accept them. As a fanbase, we deserve better than another sub .500 season along with promises of "its going to get better." Its time for this organization to start winning games and I think winning more games than they lose is a reasonable ask on our part.

That would be a horrible scenario, but its not out of the realm of possibility. 

Aside from Wilson's performance, I'd like him to make it through the season without missing any more games.

I think using the example of a QB who had a subpar year and was unceremoniously dumped by his team so that they could replace him with a serial sexual predator is a great example why Zach should start week one.

Totally agree. It needs to be clear this organization has turned a corner this year.
