20 Random Survive to Thrive Thoughts

Serious question around the concern that Stafford hasn't tested positive for COVID yet: Didn't the NFL change the testing protocol so one only has to test IF SYMPTOMATIC when vaxxed (which all but 1 Ram is)?

To me, that's a huge difference, as many players that would have had to submit multiple negative tests thereafter would never test positive to begin with. They're just out there infecting other players, who also may not show symptoms, and progress toward the whole herd immunity goal. Again, this was my potentially incorrect understanding of the situation.

I was hoping we wouldn't have to worry about Stafford or others unless they REALLY get sick with the virus.

All 3 teams scare the hell out of me. Delvin Cook does it all and I'm fearful containing him, best RB they have played to date.

Jonathan Taylor: "What did he just say?"

I didn't stutter.

Sony Michel is growing on me. A couple of weeks back people were asking which did you prefer between him and Hendo. I said Hendo because of pass protection. But Michel keeps grinding out those tough yards and brings a different presence to our offense. I'm sold. Until Akers can come back, give me a large dose of Mr. Ugly Runner.

Agreed 100% and I was in the same camp… I’m sold on Michel for now, although I do have a fear in the back of my mind that he’s going to fumble more-so than hendo, not sure why that is.

Correction: Chris Garrett was the ONLY player unvaxed and he's since been vaxed. So, unless a new addition (there have been so many) is unvaxed, the entire team is vaxed.

That was SUPER important wrt the NFL being willing to reschedule our game to Tuesday.
