MTK - Are you saying Josh Doctson is not injury prone?
Last seasons statistics are underwhelming to say the least. Up to this point in his NFL career it is safe to say he has been a disappointment. Yes?

I don't understand how he is already hurt. Apparently he had his heel drained. Some guys bodies are just not made for football. We already have one of those guys in Reed. One more hard hit/concussion and he may have to retire. Hopefully this is just some minor stuff w/ Doc.

He missed his rookie year, he played all last year, he's dinged up now with an injury that likely wouldn't cause him to miss any games if this was the regular season. So I'd say the jury is out on whether he's truly injury prone.

I think in general fans get carried away with the injury prone label. It's football, players are going to get hurt. Guys like Ryan Kerrigan are rare exceptions to the rule.

We are about to find out what happens with a good Oline, good RB and no receivers in Dallas. I think they will struggle

You need balance across the roster...I think we have a nice mix of it. Still not sure why LG was ignored...but Im hoping Luavuo can stay somewhat healthy.

One thing we can agree on...make or break for Doctson this year. He must produce...Im thinking 8-10 games he must produce or someone else should get a shot.

If he's on the field he'll produce, I'm honestly not worried too much about that. We've got more weapons this year and a QB that will get him the ball.

He's on a rookie first round contract which means he's under contract this year and next, and the year after that will be the option year.

So there's absolutely positively no reason to rush to judgment on Doctson. At his salary, he's way worth of a roster spot this season, and he'll be way worthy of a roster spot next season.

It doesn't mean you can't develop your depth, even to the point where you conclude a guy like Robert Davis may actually be better (I don't see it, but you constantly reevaluate).

We don't have to make a decision on Doctson this year or next, so just sit back and see what he does. If he gets hurt this year, yeah that's a bad sign, but it doesn't mean you cut him next year. Let the rookie contract play out, and decide then if he's worth resigning.

lol . . . live right now . . . Gruden said that Docston did NOT have his heel drained and laughed saying he's never heard of someone having a heel drained . . . said he would have to talk to brian mitchell about his poor reporting . . . and laughed again.

Mitchell also says, Vernon Davis now runs a 4.3 or 4.4 ? maybe a 30....Davis has lost a lot of speed since College. Brian Mitchell is sometimes delusional.

Has anyone seen how Settle is doing? I think he will be the key to the D-line. As injuries happen, i do not want to have to rely on Phil Taylor.

I’ve heard he’s been better than expected. Really solid...picks up coaching quick.

A rookie I’ve heard who has struggled is the tackle Christian. First week..no biggie

You know he walked to practice up hill both ways in the snow.

Loved this quote from Richardson

Richardson was asked about throwing his body around during an August 1 scrimmage when perhaps it would be better to stay healthy and save it for the regular season.

“How can you do it in a game if you’ve never done it before? So I trust myself,” he said. “That’s why we have a training room, that’s why we have treatment, our bodies have to be able to withstand that.”

I was amazed recently when people on social media were all up in arms over Doctson banging up his shoulder with comments like "why are guys diving and going all out in practice?".

Really?

Because it's football and you have to practice the way you play.
