I think the most frustrating part of the season thus far, usually with the slow starts, the defense has stepped up. Defense is not quite there yet.
I really think he's just been hurt coming out of the gate. He didn't do enough yesterday to aggravate the calf. That will really mess up his mechanics
And there is still the issue of his having no pre-season. So it's not just messing him up but his receivers.
I have a bad feeling (just admitting, I always have a bad feeling. My kids can't watch football with me) that calf is going to dog him all season, and he's just not going to be right.
I'm on board with the idea of them trading for Dalton. 5 weeks was not enough for Joe to heal up. It's going to take a LOT of time.
We should know this week. But if it's already dinged it would be insane to let him try again. Give him a full 8 weeks to heal up and see what Dalton can do with this offensive line and these receivers. If we can stay in the game Burrow can charge into the playoffs. Can't believe that boy's luck. Can't catch a break.
