Zona prob goes down a couple scores and plays catch up Air Raid as usual. So I doubt theres a huge running game here for Edmond... Notice all the receiving yards those RB's you mentioned got above??? Yeah, but I don't see what the lack of receiving yards means here? The Falcons were trailing in all but one of those games, the Eagles game. They buried themselves so deep teams just handed it off. No need to pass. Even if they get up on the Cards the RB will get receptions. The fact of the matter is the Bengals and Falcons are pretty similar. They both suck. The Cards had no problem with running or receiving among the two backs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FreakFries 1,391 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 “Meanwhile, running back David Johnson worked on the side after a back injury limited him during the Cardinals’ 26-23 win over the Bengals on Sunday. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury said the starting back would be a gametime decision, assuming he does not progress to practice in the next two days.” https://www.google.com/amp/s/arizonasports.com/story/2114379/cardinals-christian-kirk-progresses-david-johnson-gametime-decision/amp/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And not just because of the recent news. We always knew Edmonds would be the 3rd down and GL back if DJ went down. Just that volume alone makes him a high-end RB2. He was and is one of the best handcuff stashes in the league. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But the numbers just don’t support how horrid you’re making them out to be. RBs are only gaining 4.0 ypc on the ground against the Falcons. That isn’t terrible and is good enough for 10th in the league. Cook got his 2 TD in week one, but they’ve only allowed two on the ground since. They’re not a run defense juggernaut or anything, but I think they’re average, at least. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He wouldn't be a 3-down back moving forward if it happened? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jonasdash 528 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 All I want is a clear "full practice and will be all systems go" or a "limited and will be on a snap count" so I can put in a noon game guy instead of him if he's not looking like he'll be 100% Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SadFaceHappy 2,049 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 7 hours ago, The G Man said: It could also just be muscular (like a pull or spasms). I've had lower back muscles issues before. Sometimes they go away fairly quickly with rest and muscle relaxers. Sometimes it has taken a couple weeks to feel right again. Just depends on the severity. I sprained my back about a year ago. Went to pick a couch, it was early morning and I wasn't loose, the couch was segmented and buckled in the middle as soon as we started lifting. There was an audible pop, and I could barely walk the rest of the day. Doc said "you sprained it - that pop was a ligament snapping". Told me he couldn't tell how bad it was, could be up to a month or two to heal, but come back in a week to check progress. Gave me muscle relaxers and anti-inflammatory pills. First day I couldn't move, nor the day after. Was able to go back to work after that, with limited mobility and orders for no heavy lifting. Back seized up now and then, but by the 4th or 5th day I'd say I was back up to 80%. A day or two later I followed up with the doc and told him I felt 100% again. No restrictions after just a week. I was worried it was gonna keep me out weeks, and very surprised by how quickly I recovered. DJ is a decade younger than me, thought he does deal with greater impacts. It's possible that it's something serious and will be a big problem, but it's equally possible that it's no big deal and he's back to 100% by Sunday. And if he's feeling 100% on Sunday, there shouldn't be too much worry about re-aggravating it 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SyNdicateZ 1,456 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Welp, just sold my last share of DJ for Melvin Gordon in my dynasty league. Good luck all. Had to sell before the multi week out news breaks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As we know some handcuffs get spelled on third downs or perhaps at the GL. Edmonds is gonna essentially play every snap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A combo of painkiller/muscle relaxer shots and he won’t know he was ever injured. It comes down to whether or not the injury can be made worse or if it’s pain tolerance. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FitzMagic 4,260 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) I mean, the pic alone has me pumped. He looks like a warrior. Just have Chase on standby. I don't think people need to make any crazy decisions right now unless they don't have Chase. I feel confident in either guy in this particular game. I honestly hope sits this one out, gets right then gets back out there for Week 7. 2 minutes ago, pastorofmuppets2 said: "won't put him out there unless he's at full speed" link: https://cardswire.usatoday.com/2019/10/10/david-johnson-injury-back-week-6-arizona-cardinals-atlanta-falcons/ Edited October 10, 2019 by FitzMagic 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
