    I’m thinking Dawand Jones.

    Jones.. He filled in more than admirably

    Bye Jack!.. Nice knowing ya...

  • Conklin may retire. His injury list is getting to be too long. His knee structure is taking a hit - I think the damage is accumulative.

      In 2018, with the Titans, Conklin recovered from an ACL tear in Jan. Had a concussion some weeks later, and in week 14 he suffered another knee injury.

    In 2021, week 12, he suffered another knee injury. He tore his pattelar tendon.

    Now this injury - I'm getting my second artificial knee in about two weeks - He's a great player, but how long he will decide to keep playing in pain -

    but then, 7 years ago, my surgeon said my left knee was going to need to be replaced too, and I waited this long again.....

  • Do we give Jason turnstile Peters a call or some other viable vet?

    we have leatherwood and Hudson but neither invoke confidence should Wills or Jones go down.

    It can't hurt to give the turnstile a call.  Run it!  Rumor has it - he ran a 40 yard dash yesterday and he's almost done with it...

  • Do I dare say I like the idea though?   Ok, I like the idea.

    As I posted in another thread, it's time to reach an injury settlement with Conklin, he just can't stay healthy. Though reviewing the injury, it was sort of a freak hit. 

    I'm no expert on the cap ramifications, but checking Spotrac, I have to wonder how much of Jack's guaranteed money we'd still have to eat.  

    & we saw it in preseason Dawand Jones is a keeper, played well yesterday. 

  • Totally sucks, but next man up. 

    I'm sure Berry & company are making phone calls. 

  • Thank goodness for Dawand Jones - the big man seems to have very quick feet and balance.

  • I'll be very interested how Jones does against Pittsburgh.

    Probably up and down.  I know Steelers fans weren’t crazy about their Nose Tackle play and now Heyward out..jones may get plenty of help. 
     

    Patrick Peterson struggled at Corner yesterday too.  Might be plays to be had downfield when Jones does his job.

    I think we probably look towards Leatherwood as a back-up.  If Wills gets hurt, probably switch Jones to LT .  We played Bitonio at LT a few years ago.  Maybe we do that.

    If we have to go to that extent, we're screwed.

    We shall see Cal... The Steelers have some tape on him now. Expect Pittsburgh to test him early and often speed rushing TJ Watt. 

    Regarding those "quick feet". I literally laughed when "slug" Orlando Brown Jr. got drafted in the third round. Couldn't forget that 50 year old Rick Eisen came within a foot of beating him in the forty running in a suit and tennis shoes. Orlando to my great surprise- has turned out pretty good- we can only hope Dawand turns out similarly.  🙂

    Heyward is OUT, Diontae Johnson doubtful.  Sort of feel bad for the Jets, their 50 million man lasted four plays.  Bills gifted them the MNF game...

    Johnson is now out multiple weeks. 
     

    One of their tackles is in Concussion protocol so their rookie might be starting against Myles.
