WaiverLooter 931 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Him and Matt Breida must be related or something. Never seen running backs have to play through so many nagging injuries. Or maybe their pain tolerance is low? Top picks for the all pro hospital league. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Conner's a true workhorse/bellcow when healthy ... Breida's barely getting 10 touches per. so, one is a bit more understandable, as it were. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stillers were comfortably up a couple scores, then ... Garret strips JC deep in Stillers territory, the Brownies capitalize, then ride that momentum to eventually send the mutha into OT, game ended 21-21. was a remarkably bittersweet gig for Conner ... the much anticipated workhorse role in the heat of the Bell holdout controversy ... JC delivered like a frickin' boss, silenced all the doubters ... he looked every bit the part - but he was visibly gassed by the 4th, and that very critical fumble fueled the Cleveland/Tyrod (remember him?) comeback. so, as dominant as he was, he had to yoke the blame for being the impetus for yet anuddah Stillers underwhelming performance as heavy favorites (hallmark of the Teflon Tomlin era, don'tcha know). game 2, in week eight: 24/146/2, 5/66/0 Stillers crooooooze, 33-18. now we talikin' ... note that at this point the Brownies had gone full Chubb, and the Baker era was upon us ... so a closer barometer of tomorrow night's festivities. anyways, this was the hallmark performance that helped cement him as the overall rb #3 as we hit the midseason clubhouse ... he was fresh off a bye and beastly. had LEEG WINNAH!!!1!!!1! stamped all over him - we definitely got the steal of the century, amirite? flash to the next week @RatBoids ... he goes 24/107/0, 7/56/1 in a Stillers road win. then that was it. he wouldn't eclipse 100 total yards in a game for the balance of the season ... nagging injuries, missed the Pats game (where Samuels went off), etc. what a hell of a fizzle out. so, who knows, maybe we get the reverse this year? first half beset by nagging ouchies, but a beastly/healthy finish? tl;dr - two games vs Cleveland last year: 31/135/2, 5/57/0 - 24/146/2, 5/66/0. but Ben...

BGDDYKWL 1,130 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Completely off the injury report is a great sign. Little hard to believe if you ask me, but you have to take them at their word I guess. I'll be fully convinced if he finishes the game without issue. That said still obviously starting him. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

eg4190 883 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 So did the Steelers think too little of the Rams, or did they think too much of Samuels? Because if Conner is practicing fully today, that would imply he could have gutted it out on Sunday. They wouldn’t have kept him out unless they were confident they could win without him. They were right, of course, but it seems like a risky move. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sjm76 769 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I hope that he can get at least 15 carries tomorrow with 4-5 catches out of the backfield. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's not hard to believe a guy completely ruled out Friday/Saturday has zero injury designation and is completely 100% a mere 4 days later? I understand this but ultimately it explains WHY he was ruled out last week - to have him ready for this divisional game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

eg4190 883 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 The team should be fined for not listing him on the injury report. I think he aggravated it on that first carry for -1 yards. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nappyroots 32 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Glad I held onto Samuels for another week but Steelers look like 💩. We just got James CONNED! What a joke his ROS looked good too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BGDDYKWL 1,130 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I was really hoping I was wrong but the complete lack of injury designation was very hard to believe. They'll surely get in trouble by the league but it's just an unfortunate situation all around. I don't know why you rush a guy back who seems to always get dinged up even when he's 100%. Problem now is he's unstartable for as long as he's shelved, plus his first game back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
