That is what I remember but I cannot find that article. Its not in the injury news of rotoworld or similar, it must have been a deeper piece on JSO about his year.Quote:

A good write up that seems to support my side of the Randall equation

Its a little bit speculative though I think it fits with his performance.
Quote:
Randall is believed to have suffered the injury during the Week 2 game at Minnesota. He wasn't on the injury report the following week but said after the victory over Detroit on Sept. 25, that he was "a little banged up."
He showed up on the injury report on the first day of practice after the bye and then dropped out of the New York Giants game. He tried to come back against Dallas, but lasted only 17 snaps before dropping to the ground in pain and exiting the game.

Quote:
Randall’s injury first surfaced in the week leading up to the Oct. 9 game against the Giants.
So, he was either injured in week 2 or week 3.
He was injured very early so anyone making long term judgements is going to be eating their words.Quote:

TT has failed multiple times via the draft here....TRIVIA...who was that worthless POS third round draft pick most of us hated from day one ? I'm surprised as I'm usually pretty good with remembering picks but I can't even recall his name.
Khyri Thornton?

Fair point. But I think there are real upsides to be had on the front 7. The backend has more holes in its hope quilt.Quote:

It all depends on when the injury happenedQuote:

So if he really was injured week 2, then he had a very probable excuse. However, if he was only hurt during the bye week(week 4. Then imo there's huge reason for concern because he showed the same shitty problems that he showed at the end of the year
He also, if I'm not mistaken had one or two really bad game at the end of the previous season
So I see a pattern before and after the injury after he lost his swagger
Unless they didn't know about it. Sometimes a player thinks he's just dinged up a bit and doesn't go to the team doctor right away. Happens quite often. Regardless, he was listed as questionable on the first injury report after the week 3 game, so he was very likely injured in week 3. There's a chance he was initially injured in week 2 or had something else bothering him. A player doesn't usually talk about being dinged after two games if he's not dealing with something. The fact is he was dealing with injuries most of the year. Count me in the camp that he'll rebound. He showed me a lot his rookie year. This is similar to Hayward's career projectory.
Reasons for hope. In the draft thread we are picking Dalvin Cook apparently. So, TT and MM plan on running the ball 50 times a game to keep the D off the fields as much as possible.
9. they can only be better as they can't be much worse.Quote:
Reasons for Hope on Defense 2017 edition
Where did you here that? Cook would be a damn good pick if indeed we go for an RB. He's basically a Montgomery type speed back - the best of that type IMO in the draft. That still doesn't - and damn well shouldn't - run 50 times a game or anywhere near it. It just means having an even more effective change of pace to Aaron Rodgers passing first and most.Quote:

Nice write up and hopefully we can get a rookie or two who will make an impact on defense. I was all about getting a CB in the 1st but now I think we should go pass rusher, CB in the 2nd with it being a heavy draft for that position, than OL in the 3rd but who the fuck knows with Ted.
Gunter has the best pre-snap mechanics of any of the CBs. He's no speed demon, but has good field sense. I'd like to see him work into Casey Hayward's old gig. Capers likes a cover 2-like deploy of the safeties. There are a few jobs he can do and do 'em well. He's no iso corner, but he is a decent defensive back.Quote:
