Not sure the boot is a huge deal. I think the assumption with the boot is that somethings broken or severely sprained and sometimes it's just a mechanism to reduce all weight bearing so a minor injury - a short term injury - can heal quickly.

Unfortunately, Fox has lost a lot of credibility with injuries so it's easy to suspect the worst.

One other note, kind of on Ric's notion of Howard getting more reps, Carey might also get action which is important in the eval and comp battles at the position. I'm rooting for Carey cause the kids got tremendous heart.

Is he off concussion protocol yet?

na... Just been only a week. Fox says day to day, so mid November or so.

You know... I like Langford and it is a loss, but with the way Fox built the RB stable, we do not have a clear and away best RB (like we did with Forte). I am not even sure there will be a significant droff off with some of the other guys. I think we can afford an injury at RB more than at any other position.

extremely valid point.

Soul pointed out that while Langford has the homerun ability you like, and showed it in PS wk2, take away his long run and he had sub 3 ypc, not exactly something you want in a ball control offense. Meanwhile Howard had over 4ypc w/only a long of 11 yards. that is far more what the the team needs from it's rb.

I think it'll be nice for Fox and co. To get a good comp. evaluation of all the RBs in the corral and the only way to do that (still with a great host of variables) is to run them with the first unit. In that regard, Jeremy's injury helps out quite a bit. As long as his injury isn't gonna linger and as long as the coaching staff has all the needed tape on him, I think it's probably smart to shut him down for the rest of PS games and work on finalizing evaluations and Str/ Wk of the other RBs so they can put together a game plan to highlight their diverse strengths.
