Thumb Update Good news

[YOTHN]

Said on gameday they inserted 2 screws on top of the thumb. Maybe screwed his nail back down? If that’s the case his thumb won’t be near as sensitive. I’ve glued mine down before.

You put screws in to heal a fracture. It helps close the gap to calcify the bone faster. He had a hairline fracture but those can be removed in under 10 days or they'll back out themselves.

It's also a great opportunity for Rourke to get a little rest and therapy for that surgically repaired knee..., along with his thumb (and even his throwing arm). I wouldn't go so far as saying this has come at a good time (it hasn't) but if T can get us to the 2nd Bye Week, having Rourke's leg(s) and arm relatively fresh heading into the last two games wouldn't be a bad thing ("if" he can grip the ball by then)...

Why ? Is he having trouble with a knee that was operated on what 10 months ago approximately ?

We need him. I sure hope he’s ready. Take away the pick 6 and punt return, how does that game end?

Why on earth would we take those plays away? We made big plays. It’s a team sport and they stepped up. I hate the logic of dismissing plays we made to diminish the result. We had a hard fought game that we controlled throughout.

Because if you don’t have those plays, this offense struggled. That was my point. That’s how much of a drop off we have from Rourke to the next guy.

Who says we wouldn’t have those plays anyway? We have an extremely efficient team for those reasons.
