Lions Week II

[Freak Out]

As a NFL Head Coach who is M3 "required" to communicate with in the media? Presser after games? Twice a week? Not sure.....

The reason I bring this up is I heard M3 on the Dan Le Batard show a few weeks ago and it was the worst interview I have ever heard, and was a complete waste of time for a HC.

He has League mandated availabilities, but those are relatively minimal. If he is on a national radio show, its usually because he does two or three extra national ones a week.

He used to be on Brian Billick's Sirius radio show often.

They might have special requirements for NFL Network.

The #Packers brought in WR Larry Pinkard for tryout. Eligible to re-sign after injury agreement expires this wk. Made big catch in PS finale

Like speak in complete sentences?

Montgomery sure seems to be following an awful long road back.

Grade 3 ankle sprain. Takes non-athletes a month to get off crutches. A year to a full recovery, if ever. He won't be the player we saw earlier in the year when he returns. Should be 100% for next season.

"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?

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

Did someone see an actual report of diagnosis on Monty or is this just speculatin on hypotheses?

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

[Deputy Nutz]

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.

[pbmax]

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.

[Fritz]

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?
