Even if this happened in training camp, why not get the surgery done sooner?
Yeah, I want an explanation from the doctor that said they should see how it does... if it's a simple trim there doesn't seem to be any benefit to waiting it out and see if it is fine to play on. That's the frustrating part is they've had more than a month to sort this out. Frustrating.
 
Even if this happened in training camp, why not get the surgery done sooner? Maybe he would have missed less games. Having an injured Garrett for the 9ers game obvoously did not help.

It just feels like things are being very mismanaged right now.

Weird start to the season.

Bingo.

Not ready to panic yet but things are trending south in a hurry. Need to correct course immediately.

Incompetent to not get this done in preseason when they were resting him anyway. Would love to hear the reasoning behind that. The trade is not looking good ATM.

Meanwhile, our other rumored trade target, Crosby, who had a known bum knee, is going to suit up today because his knee was handled properly.
 
Dont even rush Donald in until Garrett gets back. See if this team is good enough to tread water until the cavalry arrives. Its going to be up to the Offense to carry us, more importantly McVay AND Shula will have to be on point. No brain-dead game plans or in-game decisions. We STILL acquired TWO top CB's, USE THEM PROPERLY! Spread the ball on Offense, use ALL the WR's and TE's! Stafford has to be MVP Stafford or we'll be getting a glimpse of Ty this year.
Garrett is going to be out a month or more, I agree Donald should not be rushed, but once he is ready, he needs to play as soon as that happens. We cannot afford to wait for our key players on the defensive line, when we just lost our best one to injury, that we also gave up Verse for. We have a very tough stretch upcoming. And as of now, our d-line is a lot worse than the past few years. Verse leaves a big void that we have no replacement for. Let's see what Josiah Stewart can do.:hope:
 
Now we can put the whole "super team" thing to bed. Which is a good thing.

We've ALWAYS liked better the Rams playing as the plucky underdog than the pronounced favorite. We were thinkin it in Super Bowl 36, and this past Thursday Night. Let 'em count us out now, then BAM!

This.

We'll never know though. They are just going to say the 49ers game injured it further, and that is why it now will need surgery. Who knows. Maybe it's true.

I'm a bit of a cynic on these types of issues though. The non-medically-trained, but common-sense-approach brain of mine is saying, if something does not respond to over a month of rest, with the top notch rehab staff and rehab technologies NFL franchise have available to them, and the top tier genetics these athletes have also helping along - it's not some inactive 70 year old trying to heal, here - it's probably time for a surgical intervention.
 
We will rally around Wesley Bailey... and play good football!

What we thought was going to be a drive for the number one seed this season has now turned into a dog fight. Hope we can survive a brutal schedule and get into the playoffs for a run. Nothing seems to ever be easy for us. GO RAMS!
 
No need to panic. We are going to be fine. Stewart and Desjuan gonna wreck havoc off that other edge. I'm very confident in this.
Let's hope, brother!

I am intrigued by Stewart for sure. He and BY were both 3rd round picks. Similar builds. Can we strike gold there twice with a pass rusher? Byron was drafted at an older age. But Stewart has the benefit of a year under his belt now. His developmental curve should ideally be about where BY was in his rookie year - which means he should be able to really contribute even if he's no Garrett.:hope:

I agree; why wait if the swelling continues for over a week? I state that McVay doesn't give the real level of injuries. He often makes them seem less than they really are.

Every coach does that. Part of it is that coaches are normally very optimistic. It's required in that profession. It's up to the medical staff to be honest with the coach.
 
I guessed now the coaches will have to come up with a game plan instead of just hoping the players carry the day.
 
If we don't beat the Giants we could be staring at 0-4. And all the talk about how the super team failed.

On second thought I just took another look at the schedule. After the Giants is Denver, Philly and Buffalo. We could be staring at 0-5.
 
If Jared Verse was in this position for us we all wouldn't be thinking how detrimental this is for this season. A set back. This not an uncommon issue with teams.

If we absolutely needed Myles Garrett in the game to win a Super Bowl we were likely screwed anyways.

Next four games will be just as interesting.

GO RAMS!!!
