A huge win about a division rival and he has to answer questions about injuries. The questions are fair for the most part but still, I'd be annoyed too. Like damn, let me enjoy this win! I'm surprised no one started a thread about Vrabel slamming the door, looking to create some message board controversy. By the way, I saw your response about the game in the Colts/Titans thread about how people who keep bringing up the past as some reason the Colts might win, you mean to tell me that when NWI fumbled you weren't thinking here we go again? Particularly after the Titans had just seen the Colts drive 8 minutes to open the 3rd quarter. earlers 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenIsLegend Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 29 minutes ago, japan said: I have a hard time believing that Vrabel knew we were going to win it and just shut down the only real receiver we had for the whole second half. Not like we were up by 21 points or something. Not getting the whole story here. He was probably just injured and Vrabel doesn't want to release that. Only reason I slightly believe it is because of his prior approach to things, IE going conservative and into a shell with a lead and the fact he thinks we can’t lose with DHen as the closer.

cenj Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Clearly he's injured. Vrabel has a track record of giving core guys no break during games. Landy, Simmons, Henry, AJB -- they played almost every snap last year when healthy. No way JJones is being managed for rest in a divisional game when we had offensive injuries already. He's not geriatric -- the dude is 32. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BudsOilers Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 I'm assuming his hamstring was tight. Given his history and Brown and Johnson already down, yeah it makes sense to be cautious rather than push it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who wants a load management wide receiver? Julio potentially needing his load managed due to an injury all season could certainly become an issue. If we needed him to finish yesterday's game and he couldn't answer the bell it certainly would've been an issue. However, as I've already said, all indications are that had we needed him, he could've gone in. Because of this, it's a total non-issue right now. What happened yesterday was somewhat similar to sitting some starters in high school once you feel the game is in hand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
japan Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Just seems odd for the decision on load management to come while it was 1 point game against our main division rival when we have games against the Jets and Jags that he can 'load manage.'

Really not what Vrabel said today. He said JJ felt "tight". I'd presume his hamstring given the history. Makes no sense to push it given that, the other injuries at WR, and how the other receivers were being utilized. Mythos27 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like it's a weekly thing. There's always something for people to complain about, even after a dominating win against a division rival. Asking a question isn't "making an issue" or "complaining". Your #1 receiver being on the sideline during a drive toward the end of a game you're "dominating" by 6 points is not a nothing burger. It's peculiar at the very least. Stop acting like it's not. Jonboy, and Jamalisms 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
