Damn, didn't want to see this.

****

Shit

Damn

Not great...good thing we have a ton of DL depth.

FAU.

It's your time.

Also...Mike Danna ain't nuttin to **** with.

Damn.. next man up.

We'll be fine...[runs into a corner and cries]

God damn it.

Shit - that hurts a lot.

He was REALLY coming on. He looked on his way to being our best defensive player yesterday. He was killing Stanley and of course he has that ability to cause problems inside.

That's a big loss.

What sucks is I believe we signed him for a two year deal, right?

Yes, he's here next season

You could tell in the interview last night that he knew he was done.

Reporter says something like "you're going to the SB" and he responded something like, "I'm not"

We should sign Shark for the SB.

Not ideal but remind me how many points we gave up to the MVP once 90 went out?

I think so. He has two weeks to get sober and not drink. He has shown he can do it when the game is on the line.

Going to need 3 more of yall to freeze to death

Is FAU or Thompson ready?

Hate to remind you that the MVP ain't no Brock Purdy

Well now FAU gonna have to play.

FAU will have 3 sacks in the Super Bowl

Chris Jones tweet storm for Frank Clark incoming.

Ooooof!

Sure hope so.

Because I gotta figure FAU is going to be active (Thompson's too light for the 49ers run game to even be a rotational asset).

But then again, FAU is going to have to figure out how to make his way past Malik Herring on the depth chart so I guess we'll see...

Damn

Oh man, this blows. Thought that’s what it was when he went down without contact, but when I saw him say “do I look like a guy who’s not playing in the Super Bowl” in that postgame interview I got my hopes up. Must’ve been a surprise to him too.

Holy crap, that really sux. Did this happen in the first quarter? Because I don’t remember him getting injured?

ROFL

If Frank Clark gets signed, I'll find that funny.

He’ll be back for the start of the season.. ACLs are done through the scope and recovery is shorter than it used to be..

Only 1 thing to do! Sign Mother Fuking Frank Clark!

That sucks for next year to. He's pretty much out for the year at this point.

So DE just went back up on the wish list for next season.

Well shit. Like Vermiel would say, Time to take the diaper off of FAU!

He got hurt on a Lamar scramble, you could see him grab his knee and go down.

Makes ya sick. And means he isn't going to be back for awhile. May not even be impactful next year.

But his impact to get this team on the stage yet again will be remembered.

**** man. It's your time to shine, Uzi.

That is not true an ACL is no longer a year recovery, if he has surgery now he'll be fully cleared by August/September.

Apparently, Terrell Suggs is also still available.

I bet he's in camp. He could be limited, but I feel confident saying he'll be ready for week 1.

**** that sucks.

Likely out until late November, at least.

Next mercenary up. Can't win a SB without a once good brokedick

Jones will get more snaps at DE

This ****ing sucks.

I'm not sure he wasn't going to be ripped up by Trent Williams anyway, though.

It would have been nice to have him inside though, when Jones flips out.

What's the usual ACL healing time for a D-lineman? Maybe he needs some of Aaron Rodgers' dolphin sperm or whatever it was.

Explosion won't be back. Guys come back quicker, still normally takes about a year to get back to full strength.

Could give us a chance to sign him to a new deal at a better price.

If it's only an ACL he'll be fine, if he has meniscus damage them it's longer.

You can walk on your knee the same day of ACL surgery, meniscus repair though is no weight for 2 months.

What? Dude, it's an ACL. It's fast nowdays. We aren't living in 1983 anymore.


He'll surely have surgery this week and he'll be back to rehabbing with minimal atrophy.

He'll wanna get back healthy and try to get paid more.

Yea that surgery is so different now, that use to be a zipper down your whole knee completely open on the table...now it's just a few small holes.

We'll be just fine.

Well damn. I mostly feel bad for him - he acted like there was no way he wouldn't be able to play in the postgame.

I'm not even joking. Sign Frank Clark.

He will come to play in a handful of snaps.

Odd. I had meniscus surgery a few years ago (torn vertically AND horizontally). The doctor took my crutches away after one week and got me into therapy that day. I wasn't running on it right way, but I was certainly putting weight on my leg.

Did you have meniscus cleanup or repair, on cleanup you can walk very early because it's just removal. If you have it repaired you have to wait for it to mend together after surgery.

Yeah - if we're lucky he's back in October, but realistically you're hoping for him at/near full strength by December.

That stings. Fortunately he's not a quick-twitch player so he should be able to get back to full tilt a little sooner than a DB would, but I think you have to plan on not having him back until around Thanksgiving next year.

Daaaaaaaaamn.

All of this is why building DL depth is extremely important.

This

We literally drafted a first round DE in case this shit happened. It's time for them to take the diapers off FAU. Even if that means he's only coming on the field for obvious passing downs

Fuuuuuuuuck.

Kinda makes me wish we got FAU more playing time this year. Hopefully he's ready?

It's Malik Herring season.

He's a good player.

9 months is still a pretty aggressive timeline. It isn't impossible or even unlikely that he'd be back by November, but I don't think you can plan on it.

And half the season is still half the season. Even if he's back by week 8/9, he's still gotta get himself into football shape. It took him 4-6 weeks to really look impressive here after the suspension. He doesn't play a turnkey game - he's gotta get in rhythm.

It's gonna put a dent in his 2024 season for sure.

Welp he missed half this season too...

Man, that sucks. Sucks for him, sucks for us.

Honestly, I can't remember - it was a while ago (tore it doing a lunge during a Kendo demonstration).

However, we don't know which treatment Omenihu might need either (or if), so let's hope for the best. :thumb:

All of this..

The more I think about it the more I don't think this is a game for FAU. He's kind of a one trick pony and a 3rd down rusher only at this point.

Here's your


Piss

damn

And I was SO enjoying this day, too

They're gonna bring Frank Clark back and DJ is going to ram his head through his office table

If you hear about Clark coming in for a visit and a black Ram slowly circling the Arrowhead parking lot, you'll know where you can find me...

Can we drive a stake through this mother****er's heart already and be done with it?

I laughed too incredibly hard at work reading this

**** bringing Clark back.

Defense just hasn't been the same without him, brah...

I'd play the first round DE you just drafted, but that's just me.

Over Malik Herring?

P'shaw...

I think it's kind of weird that FAU hasn't been active for playoff games.
