The NFL injury bug is here early... | On It Podcast Clip

he doesn't have any competition anymore oh you know we can talk about that now uh because there are a lot of injuries there's a there's been a lot of injuries already yeah this one stinks for them see go ahead they had already picked their quarterback and if anything this frees up darney a little bit um it's not great for JJ um but he is one of the younger quarterbacks in this draft class um it's a miniscus so hopefully he recovers well from that but yeah out for the season dunzo didn't even play snap yeah but see it's like to me like this was probably one of the quarterbacks that definitely was going to get a chance yeah I mean darnold is bound to fail suck at some point I mean maybe like when you were gassing him up four years ago when he had four wins in five games on the Panthers or whatever um that might happen this year but probably not Justin Herbert he's been walking around uh in a walking boot all summer with his uh you you want to see you want to see you want to see if I can uh pronounce it right want to see if I can pronounce it right where is it at uh what is he walking around with thanks to his planner fasciitis uh that's easy to pronounce I think I think yeah but you know the the that planer fastis is definitely like a nagging [ __ ] of an injury but nothing super serious like the first time I had heard it pton had it way back I think when he was on the Broncos but it is a lingering thing yeah but at this point you just have certain players who like okay if if you told me Christian mcaffrey like you know pulled his hamstring I'm like he's going to be okay he'll be be all right be good yep but for some reason like it seems like the last two years straight Aaron Jones has had a pulled hamstring yes Darren wallers had a pulled hamstring Darren wallers had a pulled left brain like it just seems like there's certain players where it's like yeah you just might have a a nagging injury and now obviously this isn't the same case but Justin Herbert has been kind of a glass man sure but at the same time it's like there's not a whole lot of reason or there hasn't been a whole lot of reason of recent for him to try to extend his season anymore um last year they blew super big chunks early in the year and never really had a shot of being any good um when was the last time he played a full season but no yeah hopefully I mean he should be able to play with this but hopefully just being precautious because this is a a dumb [ __ ] injury I mean you would hope so but then next thing you know Colin Kaepernick is putting on a uniform and and uh yeah you don't know what to do honestly I'd rather see Harbaugh put on a uniform than Kaepernick probably 2022 all 17 games five and seven or 10 and seven sorry but so I yeah last year they well and then they lost in the playoffs but um yeah last year they were kind of dog ass and he' been dealing with [ __ ] all year and I mean Okay Christian mcaffrey another one that's been walk what do we got calf injury um says they hope that doesn't keep him out any longer than the preseason but here we go here's here was the rare to see him not injured at some point during a season here here's the caption here's the quote I was looking for the 49ers will probably be okay but okay isn't really the standard for a team that reach the Super Bowl last year and three straight NFC championship games so that's the thing if the ners go half a season with a nagging calf injury you know Christian mcaffrey I mean obiously you think they'll be fine if if that was the case I think they'll be okay like the thing says but is okay okay I mean if he comes back at some season at some point in the season but I mean when did Christian become a Niner was it last year or the year before year before it definitely wasn't last year either way it was I it was the year before but either way it was midseason um and they were already very good at that point and the year prior in a few years before that um see I mean I don't know I think that them knowing that he's got injuries now I think they're going to find a way to work around that um but if this happened like six it would suck more for them tra it's still good traded in 2022 see but that's the thing though I was looking at I was looking at like a a situation or a scenario more like say he spends half the year you know dealing with some some lingering calf injury and say he eventually is fully 100% healthy not even a doubt a shadow of a doubt week 10 week 11 and they might have to be playing some catchup ball they might have lost a couple close games that they you know that might have been sure sure 100% one had they had an extra little mcaffrey boost do we know how good they'll be with or without mcaffrey not really I mean about as good as you would expect a team to be with a healthy Christian mcaffrey I know but we're not looking at them I don't want to look at them like I don't want to look at either Super Bowl team like they're going to they're shoe win to make the championship next season no but if you when you make a Super Bowl it's an expect your your expectations can't be lower than making the Super Bowl the next season no agreed but I mean if we look at the Chiefs from last year they weren't very good sure they've added pieces this year but I I don't want to see them there um no no 100% you might not want to see them there but no no the Chiefs to me it's like I don't know it was it was a weird season last year that they like they didn't play a lot of good games they won a few I mean I think it I think I mean I don't know it we we all know what happened when when when they went to Baltimore and then some balls got fumbled or some some some things happened but and some dumb singer lady things happened they made it to the Super Bowl they beat the Chiefs or they beat the ners the Chiefs yeah no they I think I think Micky Mouse they both have expectations to make it to subo next season I don't know why you think that's like a a crazy thing or like a czy they they they they definitely do but I mean I don't want to look at them like the shoe into to these things because there's a lot of great teams in the AFC obviously and a few in the NFC also [ __ ] the Packers they got to stop putting the Packers up top 10 and whatever the [ __ ] the power rankings they're [ __ ] five in the power rankings for somebody I don't know so who are your top three Super Bowl contenders from the AFC Ravens that's one two and three brother so who's two and three you know who it is just say the Chiefs are in the three in the top three I know but I'm gonna try to find a so you know so you know it's the chief so who's in your top three for the NFC um egies Lions bans who the [ __ ] ners get the [ __ ] out of here okay yeah no yeah yeah see you're like I don't want them to be they're not a shoe in but they might be like top three contenders in their respected conferences Devon that just might be the that that just might be the case all right I redact my statements these these teams these teams but no I agree like I don't want to look at them as a shoe in sure because that would suck if we knew right now hey but I mean you also have a brock py who yes is shown to be decent but I mean there's a lot that can happen and hopefully a lot happens next season it's not the same as the last season now that's more of the like thing I don't want to look at as a shoe in is Brock pie being like a guy what I'm saying like now Brock being protected by a really really good 49ers team I think that their them as a team could be a top and then you're saying when you pull some pieces away from that team who are named Brock pie becomes a problem pull away Christian mcaffrey with with a calf then a huge part of that team I George KD for some reason losing a bunch of weight I don't know what that was about or no actually it was because of what an AB he had surgery on his abdomen or something or did a bunch people lose weight I believe he put the weight back on Lamar said that he looked fat and he was like I don't want to look fat well no Lamar I I believe Lamar said he just wanted to be a he just felt too big he just said yeah he wanted to be able to get away from want to be able to get away when I mean he was still Shifty as hell but um I'm trying to see what other injuries are going on here besides you know we talk mcaffrey uh Jamir Gibbs only one half of the backfield Duo for the Lions but he has a dynamic part of the final 11 regular season games um ham hamstring injury injury again is alarming given how long took him to shake it off last year so there we go another lingering hamstring injury hooka nakua um you know fully healthy he had he had that knee injury damper on those hopes it's not that cup can't carry a passing game by himself assuming he can stay healthy it's just that two together make the Rams that much more dangerous in a conference loaded with offensive Firepower uh yeah I don't know what the update on pukan akua is for his uh knee I kind of forgot about that um yes same he also might be a fluke I don't know he's he's pretty good Hollywood uh Hollywood Brown had the that shoulder injury here's the thing they got a new Hollywood in town brother and they got one who can catch and who's faster than Hollywood who you referring to Xavier worthy okay uh much faster way better hands shiftier than God knows what um and yeah not really necessar for Hollywood's old weird dumpy mares Brown looking ass um yeah I don't think they're going to rush him back no yeah no I I I I I don't think they're going to rush him back but I do remember I mean getting reports of Hollywood Brown rushed to the hospital for you know sure shoulder uh believe he dislocated it yeah yeah dis dislocated a shoulder uh dislocations can cause some problems definitely can C we're talking about lingering injuries that'll linger the cranberry style y yo let me you want me to drop it you want me name drop Dennis PA oh that man could not keep his hip in place to for a snap for a reception he that man can not keep a hip in place that's a terrible thing to happen once his hip went Devin bro his new hip couldn't stay in place oh I mean that that man's hip was just done that's just a broken body Malik neighbors injured sprain sprained ankle uh not that serious but I mean at the same time when you are like supposed to be the only light The Only Hope on this roster yeah it's you you're it's Malik neighbors you were supposed to make this guy that we overpaid and everybody is calling trash look good please come out week one with a sprained ankle you just start you just recovered from and do it see how like that little bit at the end like kind of makes it like even just a little bit harder like yeah I know you've been spending all preseason like recovering from a springed ankle but like it's time to uh it's time to uh tea up you're gonna play week one so so I just you know from what they're saying it's not that serious but at the same time do you want to start do you do you want to do you want to start your rookie season he's apparently their future of the franchise um but the thing is they the Giants do things terribly like same thing they did with saquin they they have a great piece and they never really added anything important around the piece and one in Neighbors might be a dog but you know we'll never know another receiver that I think we didn't want to see happen but I don't think it's that surprising considering the team he is on because we were begging for him to pick a different team where maybe he could be a little more protect ected DeAndre Hopkins out with a knee injury who uh DeAndre Hopkins okay good out with the knee injury um because I for some reason you know I hate to just put the blame on the Tennessee Titans but I feel like if he was somewhere anywhere else where like maybe he was taken care of yeah um and like like you're looking at the T Tennessee Titans and you're like all right 32 dehop you're you're the guy like will Levis is going to be throwing you Hospital balls next season like get ready Tennessee is is where they die now yeah sadly um which sucks because dehop was a [ __ ] monster for a long time yeah I mean after if he had immediately went to a contender after Arizona I think he'd be in a different which is also kind of like what you should do um I know Julio did it but Julio did it a lot later like he went to Tennessee and then the Eagles um but no I mean you go get your money on a shitty team go do whatever there and then yeah go [ __ ] win a Super Bowl instead he went to another shitty [ __ ] team that's now even shittier I'm going through to see any other injuries that Ryan tanhill is another quarterback Who start over Colin Kaepernick Ryan tanah Hill probably rpatrick could come back out of retirement yeah Ryan Fitzpatrick probably could uh Mark Andrews he was in a car accident but he's okay yeah I'm looking at the Ravens over here we got David a was it in his driveway David David ajabo uh out with a uh a knee a knee injury uh hopefully that's um nothing too serious um Dawson knocks with a groin injury um you know hopefully that's uh nothing nothing to definitely because we're going to talk about which one's better is it Dawson Knox or Dalton conade it's the two whitest names I think is the dton Schultz is in Houston I mean I mean how many do were just naming all the no they have no the bills have Dawson Knox and Dalton concade I think con's younger and better but Dawson Knox is a bill known at least sure okay let's move on let's talk about
