He's on his way to LA
to have his his procedure and
then we wait don't know more once they get in there were
optimistic but he's not out of the woods until they get in
there and make the decision based on all the information
that's been presented to
us,
feel good. But again, you
as I'm learning, you never know.
Robert Saleh coach of the New York Jets regarding the knee
injury, that was suffered non contact Friday Night by
second-year quarterback Zach Wilson. There were
Speculations and obviously you never know what it's going to
be until you do
the full examination.
Anytime a knee gives out when a guy's running and he's not
touched. I mean the easy thing is and the team's always
concerned about the worst case scenario, which is the torn ACL
which is a guy out for the full year. That's not the case with
Zach Wilson. It's a bone bruise with a meniscus,
trim not the full-blown repair. You do a full meniscus, repair
your out for a long time. The trim is where they just take
some of the cartilage away. That's causing a problem that
Carla.
Once it's gone, it's gone.
That's always the argument of trim versus repair. If you
repair it, you still have your full complement of cartilage.
If you trim it, you got less cartilage. And cartilage is
like money in the bank. Once it's gone, it's gone.
And you got bone on bone, for the rest of your life, but
that was a decision that's been made flying to LA, to have this
done. Just shows you the guys, sometimes more comfortable with
their own
doctor off-campus. Off-site. I don't know what, I don't know
if he's going to kneel al-atrash in LA. I don't know
where he's going but he's flying all the way across
the country to have this done and they won't know until they see
in the arthroscopic procedure what the full damage is but
they expect him to miss
four weeks. It looks like it's probably going to be Joe Flacco
Week 1, but it's all to be determined and
obviously they avoided what would have been the worst case
scenario but we still don't know how bad this case is. Well
it's still it was one of those where
I thought it was the ACL like
you just said, I mean, when you see that type of injury always,
Man, it's ACL.
And I was heartbroken, of course, heartbroken for
the Jets, the New York area. So excited about the weapons here,
in Zach Wilson, and you listen to anybody connected with
the Jets,
that exact Wilson has been absolutely Stellar through
training camp. I mean, stellar and you, you know, you sitting
there watching this game and Joe Douglas and Matt Roberts
Allah. They look like they saw a ghost
because they just sat there and went oh my gosh, here we go.
The years old. Over before it even started and yeah, they
dodged the bullet here and I'll still well, you're right. We'll
see how this goes. But, you know, Wilson
and even in that the dumb interception, he threw which
was a horrible. Horrible play, you see again to me like we
just talked about with Watson, the talent pops off the screen,
even in that run.
Just how quickly is to get out and turn the corner
and then the way the ball pops off his hand. So this is a team
that's excited about the young nucleus they have and, you
know, it seemed like everything was going in the right
direction.
Action. But it goes back, you know, it's frustrating to me
because my kids always it goes back to the old story, we
talked about all the time, this is same knee hurt last year,
right? And in the NFL things are they just mask problems
more times than not out. So many teams and things, they
don't fix them, they just mask them and they don't get
everything to work back the right way.
And yeah, you get hurt again. So he's going to someone, he
trusts in LA, to get this done. But
at the very least, I'm glad it doesn't seem like at this
point. It's Going to be anything that's going to be
full season, he should be back some point early in the year.
And hopefully he can regain his form. That he's shown the Jets
throughout training camp.
He had the PCL injury in the knee last year rising to miss
some time. There was some concern friday-saturday that
maybe that was implicated again for now, bone bruise with
the meniscus tear,
it will just be trimmed but pending the arthroscopic
procedure, there may be further damage. That is discovered and
The Jets already have
a ridiculously difficult schedule
to start the season
and now it gets harder. If it's Joe Flacco
at the helm and
what a way to start the season, he gets his old team,
the Ravens it's been so long since he played for the Ravens, it's
easy to read easy, to forget that he ever did play for
the Ravens,
but he did obviously, and he was the highest paid player in
the NFL while playing for the Ravens, Super Bowl champion and
Super Bowl MVP. But
there's a good chance.
He'll be the quarterback for that first.
Game. Again, I got a good backup situation. They do not,
they're not, they shouldn't be devastated to what you're
saying. Between one more Mike, White, Mike, White Hall of
Famer? Right? Right, right. So you're so mad about that last
year. Oh, my God, game against the Bengals. Yes. And they're,
they're ready. They're ready to carve the bust.
Yeah, they were ready to carve the bust,
you know? Again, it was a
nice performance but they were going to throw Zach, Wilson out
the door right there, for my quite and a bunch of 4-yard
passes
that's where I just like. Come on everybody. Like let's let's
let's get to bed.
That back to our senses,
Jack Wilson's got special talent so we'll see if he can
regain that and get healthy here soon.
The four yard pass is 33 percent longer than the three
yard pass that they're perfecting in South Florida so
don't knock the four yard pass, buddy.
