Now he totally might change his mind on this after this season. I think that since he has never had a real healthy preseason, he has no idea how ready for the season he would be with just TC. So here we are
But Fed Ex Field is not a place I feel comfortable with ANY of our starters playing on Monday
I think Joe is just not the kind of guy who wants to blame the slow starts on his injuries, but the fact remains, he has always been recovering from the last injury for every TC he has had except for the 1st one, which was messed up by Covid. But let's say there is some validity to him wanting to feel game speed with the possibility of actually getting hit. Wouldn't it be much safer to have a practice and let OUR defense play at full speed and hit him rather than letting another team take shots at him? With his experience reading defenses at game speed in real games, I highly doubt playing a series or two in pre-season helps him one bit. I'm just not buying it. One cheap shot by a defense in pre-season, and our entire season could be lost.
