Hey whats going on with this guy. He gonna be ready for september?
For sure. Just a high ankle sprain. It really hurt not having him and Weston Richburg in the sb. Imo if both are healthy we win. Our interior ol wasn't good and our run d was average
It hurt not having DJ in there, he helped collapse the pocket so easily, and his speed for his size is uncanny, needs to be an extension priority down the line.
Nice having you back AB, and agree we need that priority extension as soon as possible. It really hurt having our guy who collapsed the pocket out of action, and with Blair out, it hurt even worse.
That said, we got thru a ton of injuries this yr and managed to get most except these two and Richburg back. All 3 injuries hurt us. Still we managed to survive injuries to Au Jus , kittle, both OTs, WRs from game to game. DBs, KWON, and on down the line. Truly it was remarkable how with our end of season 16 IRs(or thereabouts) and another 10 PUPs, we managed to withstand all that. No question all three we lost for season's end hurt us, both O and D.
Nonetheless it was remarkable just how deep our team was while all the above guys plus others had to sit out. And missing Hurd all yr was a big loss. Without all the depth that JL had acquired for us, he couldn't back up every position, but he came damn close.
Getting DJ, Blair , and Richburg back will be huge for us. Getting to see Hurd play not just a game but all yr could make it for the 9ers. We just have to keep on chugging along, and keep on getting more and more depth.
