Be glad to get Hock back next game when he’s 99.98% ready va today where he’s only 99.97% ready.

Todd M -> RE: General Vikes Talk (10/20/2024 7:10:41 AM)
Nobody wants to see a player held back due to an over abundance of caution. If our chemistry is janky today you’ll know why.

I thought I heard that last year's trade didn't meet the conditions and that the trade was then a wash. Not possible.

If Hock can't play today then there's no way he should play Thursday.

My point is if he can't go today after all this time why would Thursday be any different?

Todd M -> RE: General Vikes Talk (10/20/2024 11:03:53 AM)
He CAN go today.

stfrank -> RE: General Vikes Talk (10/20/2024 11:12:14 AM)
Maybe they are holding him out against the Lions because they know the Lions will be going after his knee if he does play.

Why not just let him come back after a scheduled loss which is usually what the away Thursday game is? Hopefully we can go to LA and win regardless but that's usually what those seem to be.

Either you're ready to go or you're not. If he's ready he should play. This isn't kindergarten. If he's not ready but somehow he plays Thursday you know he's ready today. What are we going to do? Sit him out against the last Lions game in fear?

David Levine -> RE: General Vikes Talk (10/20/2024 11:40:10 AM)
It’s not about being ready. It’s about recovery. Do you want a guy coming off an ACL to play his first two games 5 days apart? If he plays Thursday he has 10 days to recover after his first game.

David Levine -> RE: General Vikes Talk (10/20/2024 11:43:15 AM)
That makes no sense. 5 days of recovery after your first game is very different than 10 days. “After playing your first game following ACL surgery, expect some soreness, swelling, and potential fatigue in your knee.”

He might have some soreness. In that case wouldn't it make more sense to play him today and NOT Thursday? This is a division game and more important. Then he'd get more than 10 days rest.

Jeff Jesser -> RE: General Vikes Talk (10/20/2024 11:45:44 AM)
It's understandable but he isn't obligated to go the whole game against the Rams. That, on paper, is an easier fixture. If he's truly ready, play him today and rest him on Thursday. Gives him enough time to go in 2 weeks. I'm fine with either plan but it's arguable. edit: oops. beat me to it

I like the play today and not on Thursday thought.

Richard Neussendorfer -> RE: General Vikes Talk (10/20/2024 11:55:17 AM)
It's good to know that our attitude is we're scared of the big bad Lions. Let's hope the team doesn't harbor that same attitude.
