I have really come to like Wentz. I mentioned this in the game thread, he is one competitive SOB. He needs to learn to just let a play die and go down so he doesn't get hurt. On the play where he got hurt, he was just trying to make a play to help his team win the game, can't fault him for that. He looked good against the Rams and like Nelson said, if they give him time to throw, he'll look even better.

Best case scenario is he’s back out there next week, though I doubt it.

Next best scenario is he misses enough time to keep our pick, because it looks like it’ll be a high one.

This morning, Rapoport indicated that Wentz sprained both ankles during yesterday's game.

Of course he did.


Btw Wentz is on his way to being hit 179 times this year. The most Luck was hit was 122.

At the current rate, Wentz won't make it through the season so I don't think Luck's numbers are in any real jeopardy.

Hopefully the OL play will improve over the next few weeks as well if the starters can get healthy and stay on the field.

Un fucking believable.

The offensive line can kiss my ass.

Ballard did a piss poor job addressing the line during the off-season

He went to the 99 cent store and picked up trash. Davenport, Tevi and the other shithead I can't think of now (Holdin?) are disasters.

What? Every position was addressed.
* found a LT
* signed an extension with Smith
* signed several seasoned vets as backups

The problem is that everyone of the starters except Glowinski has miss camp time, practice time, and havent been healthy.

What more do you want? No one has 7 great linemen on their team. If the O line can get all 5 starters to practice for a solid week, we might see better play..

At today's press conference, Reich confirms Rapoport's earlier report that Wentz sprained both ankles. He isn't sure if Wentz can play vs Tenn.

Too early to tell if Wentz will be able to play on Sunday against Tennessee

"If Jacob (Eason) has to play, he'll be ready," Reich says
