I don't understand how people who have watched football for a number of reasons can say things like, "If he's healthy enough to play a few plays, he's healthy enough for the whole game."
Huh? Have you ever watched football? Players are eased back from injuries all the time. They do partial practices. They play a few plays. It's not that crazy. Just because we don't know the extent of the injury or if he's just playing with pain does not make this some sort of Diaco-invented madness.
I promise you, Boyle is not the first player to possibly be hurt and only play a little bit.
Assuming this is to me.
Have you ever watched football? - Yes
Also - Boyle doesnt have an injury - you are using the wrong word - he has pain. Players play with pain all the time - injuries not so much.
I cant remember a player eased back into action for 5 plays. On Monday night Jamal Charles was questionable and he was eased back from injury - as he sat out the last game for a high ankle sprain and didnt practice until Thursday, and limited at that - with about 30 plays on the field. I cant recall a player in college or pro eased back for 5 plays spread out over a 2 hour period.
Then the coach comes out and says '
We definitely WANT to, I’m not sure we can. It’s still going to be based on how he feels, but moving forward we definitely want to get him in each game.'
Teddy Bridgewater has a booboo - sprained ankle - I will go out on a limb and say that he either plays or they sit him until healthy. They most likely wont send him out there for 5 plays - unless he starts and reaggravates or cant go.
With 3 players dying on High School football fields this week, the concussion protocols, the dismay in Michigan about the QB injury and being left on the field, why would you put Boyle on the field if he is has pain? What are you gaining? What evaluation on the player are you getting for 5 plays?
You dont need to answer...
