I find this pretty incredible but not terribly surprised... I've liked what I have seen from Howard however. I say hold Poe out until week 2 no matter what.

What would you do with him?!

He'd better be COMPLETELY okay if he's going to play.

[Chiefs=Champions]

Back issues effect everyone differently. it doesn't surprise me that a super athlete like Poe can recover faster than the average human being.

[Halfcan]

This would be great-but if he at least can play against the Donks-that would give the team a big lift.

Per reports - the Donk offense looks like crap so far. In other news-large amounts of cooking spray has been flying off the shelves in the Denver area.

[penbrook]

Tried telling everyone he will play Game 1 but nope everyone said Week 6 if he's lucky

OMG YOU ARE RIGHT

HERE LET ME BAKE YOU COOKIES

[MotherfuckerJones]

Just take your time Poe. This back issue is a serious thing. Don't come back too soon and fuck yourself and the team.

[thabear04]

If he come back week 1 and gets hurt he gonna fuck himself over. Because next year he might want that big contract extension.

[Rausch]

Just take your time Poe. This back issue is a serious thing. Don't come back too soon and **** yourself and the team.

This.

So far we've been respectable at NT in his absence.

Rest up and be 100% when you come back...

[Chiefnj2]

And Bowe is telling Cleveland fans they are going to unleash a high powered offense. What players say, isn't always reality.

Any reports of him in pads in contact drills yet?

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

We don't need Poe week 1 . But week 2........................

I don't believe he's able to on the PUP, but someone more educated on the subject can weigh in.

[Chiefnj2]

A player saying he want's to play week one, and being medically cleared to be anywhere close to playing are two very different things.

[loochy]

HGH is a wonderful thing

for real

if I was rich I'd sooo be on that stuff

[Bowser]

We don't need Poe week 1 . But week 2........................This. If he's CLOSE to being ready, let him be COMPLETELY ready to go week 2, especially considering that it will be a short week.

HGH is a wonderful thing

This as well. Couple this statement with Chiefs=Good's theory and you've got a quickly healed back. Hell, Alex Gordon ripped his fucking groin muscle like 5-6 weeks ago and he hit a home run in AAA Omaha last night. These guys are physically gifted and heal faster than the rest of us.

[Bowser]

for real

Seriously

[MotherfuckerJones]

If...IF he's ready week 1, he shouldn't play a ton. I wouldn't. Bring him along slowly.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

If...IF he's ready week 1, he shouldn't play a ton. I wouldn't. Bring him along slowly.

Right On Mother Fucker !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bowser]

Fuck it, just let him sit the opener and heal up one more week. The Bronco game is a Thursday night game - let him be ready for that and Manning instead of going against Brian fucking Hoyer and the Texans. Jaye Howard has looked to be capable in the middle for one game at the very least.

[Kiimo]

I agree that there is zero reason for him to play week 1, we will not need him. Don't rush it.

It's HGH. It's legal, especially if prescribed by a doctor.

Plus, they have nutritionists and trainers but it's the HGH. The body heals faster with it than without it and so far, unlike steroids, there aren't any side effects.

is HGH still undetectable in the piss tests the NFL gives its athletes?

(waiting for answer for friend, also)

[ChiliConCarnage]

All I got out of that was that he wants to play week 1. That's good but I doubt we'll see him

[Bowser]

Damn, we all have friends with small cranks. WHAT ARE THE ODDS?

[Mr. Pink]

Great news! I am not surprised as he is not your average big man.

[Chiefnj2]

All I got out of that was that he wants to play week 1. That's good but I doubt we'll see him

Exactly. I can't believe people are jumping to the conclusion he can actually play. He hasn't had a single practice.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

He don't need practice.

[DaneMcCloud]

The NFL does random blood tests which apparently are very flawed and have caught no one.

[DaneMcCloud]

Exactly. I can't believe people are jumping to the conclusion he can actually play. He hasn't had a single practice.

Dontarie Poe doesn't need to "practice" to be ready to play.

He'll need conditioning but not practice.

[jonzie04]

It really is amazing how far technology has come... From floppy disks to what we have now... From Acl tears ending careers, to guys rushing for 1800 yards a year after. Hell a few thousand years ago Poe likely would have already died from a cold or something.

[Chiefnj2]

This is a mind game by Reid to mess with the Texans so they have to do extra preparation.

[Hydrae]

Damn, we all have friends with small cranks. WHAT ARE THE ODDS?

You know, the size of hidden anatomical parts just doesn't seem to come up in conversations with my friends. :shrug:

No but he was already lifting weights last week.

[Saccopoo]

Stem cells?

[Mr. Laz]

He don't need practice.

I don't think they want to catch HGH users to tbh.


HGH is about healing and professional football is a very injury riddled sport

[Mr. Laz]

Stem cells?
There are all sorts of healing tricks for the people with the money to afford them.

Stem cells
Hyperbaric sleeping
HGH
blood spinning

[Perineum Ripper]

Still no answer on this yet

Well looks like my friend will have to start it and find out

Why can't we get some HGH and stem cells injected into Joel Embiid's foot?



And back?

It can.

It's much more likely to make your ears, feet, or nose bigger though...

Are u serious? If you think he'll play then I'll challenge you to name your bet. I'll bet u he wont play week 1. Week 3 was the earliest I estimated he'd be able to play and I'll stand by that. You game, or do you just prefer to just talk noise from the cheap seats?

[Chiefnj2]

additional context (from ESPN):

A little more than a month after Chiefs nose tackle Dontari Poe had surgery to remove a herniated disk from his back, coach Andy Reid opened the possibility that he could be ready to play in the Sept. 13 regular-season opener against the Texans.

"He's doing great," Reid said. "He's made big strides. I can just tell he's at least on schedule, if not a little bit ahead. He's had a great attitude with the whole thing.

"He says he's going to play in the first game. I go, 'OK, all right, we'll see.' Then the doctors have to evaluate him. That's really the thing -- the time and how it's healing. That's up to the docs."



Dontari Poe has been present at Chiefs training camp despite being sidelined after back surgery. Peter Aiken/Getty Images

Poe will not practice Monday as the Chiefs get back to work for the first time since Friday night's preseason win over the Seattle Seahawks.

Poe had the surgery, called a microdiscectomy, on July 15 in his hometown of Memphis. He rejoined the Chiefs in time for the start of their recently concluded training camp and, though he never made it to the practice field while his teammates were working, he was a common sight around the campus of Missouri Western State University.

Poe could be seen making his own way around campus to join his teammates in the cafeteria for meals and working out in the team's weight room.

Asked whether it was realistic to expect Poe back by the Houston game, Reid said, "We'll see."

"Let's see how he does in this phase with the exercise part of it," Reid said. "So far, it's gone well, but let's see how that goes. That's kind of where the docs are at. He hasn't run or done that. So we'll see in that next phase where that goes. He's moving around. He hasn't had any setbacks, so I guess that's a positive."

It's one thing for Poe to be cleared to play, and another for a 345-pound player to get himself into football shape.

"There's shape, and then there's football shape you have to get into," Reid said. "They're two different things. You can be great distance running and all those things and lifting, but there's the football playing part of it that you have to get yourself used to doing."

[TEX]

Same here!

Please see post # 59. Same goes for you. ;)

[Tribal Warfare]

Poe vs Wilfork again.

http://giant.gfycat.com/WearyCreamyAssassinbug.gif

It's amazing how they carry there weight differently in comparison to each other.

[Lonewolf Ed]

Depending on how his recovery goes, maybe rotate him in for a few snaps.

[Valiant]

Keep him away until 100%, everyone wants to and thinks they can come back early. Do not wanting him to ruin his career by coming back too early.

[beach tribe]

I would love to see apost where you said he would be back as early as week 3, though.

[Mr. Laz]

I didn't read that story but i don't think it's ever been proven to actually cause cancer. I used to be part of the weight lifting community and it was generally consider by most that HGH doesn't cause cancer but it will speed cancer up.

HGH kicks your system into high gear. Which mean it also kicks cancer into high gear. Cancer's growth is already faster than normal so HGH is not a good thing to take if you have cancer.

[DaneMcCloud]

You do realize that story actually says it can cause cancer as well right?

And you do realize that doctors prescribe HGH every single day for patients?

At this point, just living causes cancer.

Gotcha... I said at least 10-12 weeks. So, since he had it surgery Jul 15, then 10 weeks would be week 3 regular season. Correct? :shrug:


However, I think it will be more like the full 12 or longer. (and I said so back then) We'll see. In any case, the heated discussion was about him not being able to play week 1 and NO WAY that happens.

I seem to remember saying he would be back early in the season, and you giving everyone who said he would hell about it. Now you've narrowed it down to week one.
You seem like one of those that can't admit when you are wrong

Howard looks like the real deal. Very encouraging to know we have some depth at the position.

Still not too impressed Fangupu, but like I said, we have decent depth there now, it seems.
