@tour2ma said:Why, oh why, do players wait so long to have "off-season" surgery? That's exactly what I was thinking. How many months post injury is March if it happened way back in week 8? If I was hellbent on having a good season following injury/disappointment for a team that generously paid me for my commitment - I'd have surgery early enough to where I could rehab it right for the much needed conditioning to follow. Doctors and physical therapists might disagree my philosophy due to the amount of wear and tear as season ahead will put him through. Joe's dad is/was a Personal Trainer that probably also reminded him muscle has memory. There's also a part of me that wonders if he doesn't share Alex Mack's impatience with the never ending changes at the top since he's been here. I could be wrong, especially because the ankle shows us he wasn't only trying to play through concussions.
