    "He (Montgomery) hasn’t made much progress, and I’m sure there’s going to be some more testing and so forth," McCarthy said. "There’s different thresholds you try to reach through your rehab, and we’re just not quite getting there. Obviously, we’ve got to do some more research."
    Doesn't sound like we'll see him any time soon. Tough year for the WR group.

    Isn't that torn ligaments? As in, "no longer connected together at all" torn?
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Yes. If it's a 3, we won't see him this year.

    Its speculation based on M3 saying there had not been much improvement in Monty over the last week.

    Doesn't sound good for Monty. The worst ankle sprain I ever had was grade 3 and it was my lower ankle. I was still in decent shape and a decent athlete and it took a full 3 months to recover to the point where I could run and do some light cutting, base running was a struggle after a month. I could usually tough out ankle injuries without assistance, but I remember hopping into a wheelchair at the grocery store. I went to physical therapy for 3 weeks, so it wasn't like I just ignored it either.

    If it was torn completely, whatever grade that might be referred to, he would have had to immobilize the foot to allow the ligaments to reattach I believe. There have been no reports of him being in a cast, walking boot or even large brace that I am aware of. In some cases, surgery is necessary to help reattach.

    So as long as he is out walking around at practice and not immobilized or off his feet, my assumption is that its less than a full tear. But even that doesn't mean it couldn't be multiple weeks yet.

    I blew out my ankle playing basketball in an ROTC pickup game. Took me about two weeks before I could stand without significant pain from the localized swelling. I could run after 8 weeks, but couldn't play racquetball or practice martial arts anywhere near my pre-injury levels for like 6 fucking months. So frustrating. Doctor told me if fibula had fractured, I'd have been better off.

    Mostly hopped around on one leg and left the crutches by the door.

    I got jalepeno juice in a hangnail once. That smarted. After some therapy, both physical and mental, I was able to drive past a Taco Bell again.

    Well, he won't be around, so it'll be up to the remaining receivers to try not to make the Lions' decrepit secondary look like a bunch of Revises.

    At this point, would Abbrederis or Janis be any worse that Davante Adams has been? Couldn't they run a few four wide receiver sets with both those guys and Adams and Cobb occasionally, and set Richard "Slow" Rodgers on the bench?

    Abbrederis breaks every time they use him. To have a chance they need to revert to what the Bears used to do in the 70s when they had Walter Payton and a bunch of nothing. Run Lacy 35 times, mix in an occasional pass to Cobb to keep the defense from stacking the box with all eleven, and hope the punting and defense give you enough for a 15-12 win.

    This is better than your 12-2 scenario.

    When are we going to see Alonzo Harris again? Is he worth running out there on 3rd downs? can the guy catch a pass?

    I think he might be slower than Bulaga. They tried a screen pass to him a few games ago, but that was before they remembered how to run them.

    Get Monty some stem cell injections!!!!
    Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

    They should fire everyone except Janis.

    I wonder when they would cut bait on Montgomery's season to have the roster spot for someone who could at least be some help to the team. I give you the secret weapon from the practice squad:

    Williams, Ed WR 6-0 196 24 R Fort Hays State

    It could happen when (if) they decide to activate Quarless. They will need a roster spot for him.
