That OC also helped Rodgers win back to back MVP's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brady, in Tampa, was down at 3.1% Ok, so I guess I’m wondering how many more sacks per year is all that meaningful? is 6.5 particularly bad? How many extra sacks are we really talking about? I get the concern at 40 - just wondering how impactful that difference really is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many extra sacks are we really talking about? I get the concern at 40 - just wondering how impactful that difference really is It’s not so much the number of sacks we need to worry about, it’s the amount of contact he absorbs, the amount of rolling out he has to do, and the degree to which he’s asked to test that Achilles. It’d be ideal if he was a Marino/Brady type who stood in the pocket and got it out quick, but the numbers suggest he hasn’t been that guy as yet and it remains to be seen if he can become that guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bicketybam Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 What is the incident rate of NFL players tearing their achilles twice? I'm sure the chances are elevated but I was wondering if there were real world examples of someone tearing their achilles, fully recovering and then tearing the same one again.

From what I found it's about 5% chance of re injury after surgery and rehab and about 20% if no surgery and conventional treatment. However those stats are based on the last 20 years and I did find one new study specific to Rodgers and the NFL factors in injury and re injury which is now being studied and hasn't reached conclusion. Guess Rodgers is now a guinea pig! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy 2 Times Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 I'm expecting a power running team. Defenses will have to choose between bringing a safety down or letting Breece run for 2000 yards. Either way, we're successful because Rodgers will target Wilson 200 times in single coverage. I expect there will be a game or two where 8 will be forced to win a shootout, but just being good will be enough to win if the team stays healthy.
