I agree. This is why I think Willis should sit unitl the Seahawks game if its just pulled/strained. Outside of being a supreme tackler, he is nothing if he isn't explosive. But he needs to be able to explode confidently into the gaps and explode confidently into tackles.

You are so right. He is a werrior, and a durable one at that. But I don't think the coaching staff needs to rush him back or should be suckered in to letting him rush himself back. In the grand scheme of things we are in the playoffs and now are playing for seeding. With Grant filling in good the last 4 game are STILL very winnable even without Willis. So the #1 seed is still in sight for us and our #2 seed isn't much in jeopardy unless we just break down mentally.

its also a good chance for bowman to stand on his own for the few who believe hes only as good as he is cus of willis beside him, if his play dont drop off at all he will get a ton of credit

Hamstrings 4-6 weeks if there torn.

If you comback to early you will tear them again.

Willis is tough as nails standing strait up you don't feel it but any bending and you will.

best case rest him for 4 weeks and let hom loose in the play offs.

Honestly I'd rather him sit the rest of the season than have a chance at missing the playoffs. Just not worth it to me... There should be no rush whatsoever after clinching the division tonight. Besides, we got a new beast in Larry Grant and P.Willis junior.

I thought we are in the playoffs......

he means Willis missing the playoffs.

yep

I'm actually worried Pat's injury is little more severe then they think it is.

i am not this is the superstar of the defense probably a pulled hammy or strain and trainers dont want him to aggrevate it... he seemed fine on the sidelines and even when hurt on the field it wasn't hard to tell it wasn't very serious

Not so fast. Anytime you see Willis laid out on the ground with his head in the grass it could be really serious. This dude is tough as nails and plays through broken bones. Yeah he looked good on the sideline but if it were minor at all I would guess Willis jogs off the field then talks to trainers.

you underestimate the power of the hammy! i doubt its a pulled hammy (even though i said that before) but even minor hamstring injuries can be extremely painful but they subside quickly (within the same game quickly) again it could've been reaggrevated so trainers likely said stay on the bench larry grant is doing well and we can't have you hurt

Yeah thats obvious. But my point is nobody was in his ear on the field telling him to stay down. And even bad injuries Willis still gets up. And you seem to underestimate how much a hammy can linger. Yeah they feel like they heal up real quick and you can walk easily. Then go try to accelerate or sprint.

i do know how much a hammy can linger. i am not worried because he will likely be out next game. if he is he can still play effectively on that hammy for the pittsburgh game. and just having him out there as an emotional leader of the defense can give the unit itself a boost

He faked the injury because he was scared of Steven Jackson.
