I’m guessing it’s the ankle. I’ve never had a high ankle sprain like Dane is talking about but a normal ankle sprain would **** with what he’s trying to do. Especially planting.
Mitchell was on Russillos podcast before the season talking about football. Those poor sports media guys were REALLY reaching on topics so virtually every podcast I listened to that had an interview asked how they were getting a workout in. And everyone of them was like I got into a gym and really hammered this or that, or my guy came in with a mask and we got after it, or I rented a gym and got my shots up. Not Schwartz. He was like (paraphrased), yeah well. You try but it’s hard, can’t be in the facility so you do what you can.
Now the question is what does that mean? Probably nothing. Odds are he just wasn’t prepared for the question. I have a hard time believing a guy that performs at his level was on the couch. But it’s at least a possibility he wasn’t very productive this offseason. You’d think by the 4th game he’d be rounding into shape, but who knows. I have no idea what it takes to perform at that level.
It’s probably the ankle. But it could potentially be both.
