Right. The hand problem should not be an issue. It's the fracture which concerns me longterm. CnD thinks surgery will be required at some point in the future. The stress put on the foot will eventually aggrevate the fracture.
Being a bone issue, it should heal faster than soft tissue - should get it done now so he can be back sometime during the season.
This would be the best course of action. Except this type of injury often requires two, staggered surguries requiring 8-12 weeks of rehab for each. He goes into detail on the injury thread, page 43.
Number 19, somehow you've misinterpretted my post in the Injury thread. He has not sustained a fracture of his toe. He has sustained a complete disruption of the structures making up the capsule complex of the metatarsal-phalangeal joint of the big toe (a severe turf toe injury). I'm going into surgery shortly, but I will post a follow up in the Injury thread later today.
Just remember your post as season goes along because I think you might be eating a bit of c-r-o-w. Foreman will be very good for this team. What makes you think he will have a minimal impact? He is a 2,000 yard back averaging 6+ yards most of which was up middle between tackles where none of our current backs made a living. He was a work horse 29+ carries per game. With fewer in 2015 he was over 7 per attempt. You need to bring something to support this claim.
The stress fracture in his foot?
Totally disagree..perhaps for a 1st rounder but not 3rd. Rest him until game one with a few snaps in preseason 3 & 4; this is a power running back who doesn't need much; will be running between X(better each year) either a better 2nd year starter Manz or 2nd rounder Martin who may beat him out and hopefully a 100% healthy Allen. Many focus rightfully on our low rated pass blocking but tend to over look or forget Oline was #4 in December IIRC run blocking. Also he is not our featured back. He will rotate with Miller at probably at a 3 or 4 to 1 rate which keeps him off feet and allows him to continue to heal. Not sure when he stressed foot but reportedly found at combine. Look at last 5 games: Baylor 32 for 250 @ 7.8 yds. Texas Tech 33 for 341 @ 10.3. W. Virginia 35 for 167 @ 4.8 Kansas 51 for 250 4.9 and finally TCU 31 for 165 @5.3. Total 7 TDs for these five.
His playing speed was plenty fast for me; I mean, the DBs could hardly gain ground when they chased him.
They could have rushed more if they had played with the lead more often. I can't see any team actually have more rushes than passes in this age of the NFL.
Unless it's a milk toast coach like Lovie Smith. Those games would rival the excitement of watching the Texans FO pick pimples off their asses.........
What makes you think this? I can't imagine a new HC coming in and saying he couldn't work with a 2nd yr QB who had a 32-3 record in college and went 1-1 against Alabama for the national title. Anywho, it's a moot point. Savage is taking over the NFL in 2017/
kinda. On both parts.

Poor comparisons. Watson has much better mechanics than Manzeil, VY or Tebow. I'd say Watson is closer to Mariota
He seems to have better work ethic than those three combined as well. I'm pretty optimistic about the guy because he seems to be very goal driven.
After coming back to this thread and reading the last dozen or so posts, I almost forgot that this was the Foreman thread.
Brock Osweiler did and said many of the right things when he came to Houston and we see how that ended up.
