Will await official word from the team https://t.co/SCxffkyoe9

What the f**k this team can't catch a f**king break (no pun intended) to save their damn life, I swear. Breaks his effing foot during a non-padded, sort of tamped down practice. What the hell is that? Also, no way in hell he's questionable for the game. More like questionable to return in about 6 weeks.

I was reading that Seattle has this crazy in-depth program of customization for its players when it comes to cleats etc. they had essentially 0 injuries last year but JSN talked about how he had foot issues until Seattle put him in this new program and his issues went away.

idk if we do something like this, I'm not saying we don't, I just wonder if we do. The amount of injuries we have is historically high and it's been going on for a decade, so, statistically the team is doing something that is increasing the odds of injury and idk what it is. It's obviously not intentional on the teams part.

You don't have the amount of injuries that we've had as consistent as we've had them over such a long period of time. That isn't all "bad luck". There are variables that are increasing "bad luck" that the team has to be contributing to. Idk what it is but this is wild.

Damn

That pic of CMC of him arriving in AUS, I thought the top of his suitcase handle was crutches. I was like oh s**t

Typically Kyle's offensive line Zone Blocking schemes requires **A Lot** of practice reps, and I think that is one of the main causes of the injuries to both the 49er offensive and defensive players. The blocking techniques are essentially the same for all blocks, it's just that the entire five man line has to *coordinate* and be in-synch, and that takes a lot of practice reps to do, both individually, then blocking air, and then walk throughs and finally actual contact during practice.

I say go with it, not against it. Injuries, I mean. Use injuries to your advantage. ShanaLynch discovered Purdy and Conner Colby because of injuries. Just load the roster up with young promising talent, and that's why I loved how they drafted this year by trading down and acquiring more draft picks to sacrifice to the 49er injury gods.

Give two ones for Max and whatever else and let's go. Pull a Rams and say screw the ones. If his foot is broken that sucks. What's the time line for a broken foot?

Edit:
AI says:
Common Foot Fractures and Timelines

Minor or Small Bone Fractures (e.g., simple toe or minor chip fractures):Timeline: 4 to 6 weeks.Details: Often managed with a protective boot or minor procedure, allowing players to return relatively quickly once pain subsides. [1]
Fifth Metatarsal Fracture / Jones Fracture (outer foot/pinky side):Timeline: 8 to 12 weeks (surgery is common).Details: This is the most common significant foot fracture in football. Data shows that returning in fewer than 10 weeks can elevate the risk of poor performance or re-injury, so medical staffs often lean toward a cautious 10-to-12-week minimum for full effectiveness. [1, 2, 3]
Severe Midfoot or Complex Tarsal Fractures:Timeline: 3 to 6 months.Details: Fractures involving major weight-bearing midfoot joints or multiple displaced breaks require extensive surgery, hardware placement, and a long physical therapy regimen before cutting and sprinting are allowed. [1, 2]

I see why the rams are going all in this year. Was looking at free agents for next year and they have a lot of their good players going FA.

I heard that yesterday. The NFL is a constant roller coaster. Teams rise and fall every year. It's often a 3-5 year cycle. The team hits on some draft picks and starts to rise. Then they peak and players start leaving for free agency. Others get injured. Only a few actually ever win a SB. Billionaire owners that don't really understnd football get impatient and fire the coach and the cycle has to start all over again. That's the NFL in today's world.

what is vegemite is that like fig jam or something? do they just mash veggies into a mite?

No it's just something that's uniquely Australian but I heard it tastes like complete s**t, that's all. It's something where you can say "hey I ate some Vegemite even though it tastes like ass."

So are they not even going to consider suspending Puka as well as Alderik their offensive lineman for clearly suspendable offenses? I mean, I know we embarrass the Rams with backups all the time but this year we need to level out the disadvantage just a little with Bosa and Kittle, not at full strength, not to mention Williams on PUP. But I think the NFL really wants the Rams to go to the Super Bowl at their home stadium, which is really ours.

it's one thing to let the Rams choose us as an opponent for an international game, but another thing not to let us choose them for our opponent. Everything is a joke, players ARE getting suspended, but not Rams players. Just keep suspending the DeMarcus Robinson's of the league, but not the Rams players for even worse offenses like domestic violence/violence toward women. This is getting a bit ridiculous and quite obvious. Just do the right thing NFL.

It's pretty normal for NFL now to let things play out in the legal system to make their decision ..... unless there is a video .

then they lay the hammer

Why can't the niners do something like this?
