Baseball players with oblique injuries miss about a month. If he actually pulled his oblique idk how he would play since its so important for torque.
R
FWIW Purdy played with an oblique injury to win the division in Seattle a few years ago.
L
Im pretty sure Purdy played with broken ribs.
S
Purdy showed up looking like that SpongeBob bandaged guy meme that game
B
Some people have all the luck…i was born with glass bones and paper skin
P
Insert 49ers player
T
yeah he got blasted on the first drive of the bucs game the week before
J
Yeah but really it was a power plant cable snapping and lashing him. “Bucs game” good one.
S
So you are saying that the 2 injuries cancel out?
S
That was the 2nd start of his career, regular season went into Seattle and we clinched the division.

Purdy is lowkey a tank though

Happy Gilmore accomplished that feat no more than an hour ago

Brock also is playing through turf toe which people believed is season ending and he’d be terrible with more and more games due to it getting worse so maybe Brock is an exception tough sob
C
There’s different levels of turf toe, ranging from “you really should rest, but you could push through a couple of games without making it worse” to “your career is likely over.”
A
Patrick Willis pushed through his and that’s partially why he retired so early. I want a SB but i also don’t want that to happen to Brock :/
T
Purdy doesn’t get enough credit for playing through some real questionable injuries while being on a 7th rounders deal. It’s one thing now but man he he always played hurt while making peanuts before.
N
I think Brock is just CMC-kind of blood sacrifice durable/tough
I
there are different degrees of any injury 🤷♂️
R
I am not flexing that Brock did it. Moreso saying that it can be done.
I
I gotchu 🙂
T
Toradol is a hell of a drug
C
We gettin perkd darnold?
R
“My OBLIQUE”
F
I get toradol every week (was in a hit and run). It’s fantastic for minor stuff but when shit is really bad, it doesn’t do much. If he has an actual injury, I don’t see him playing well.
I
Every week for how long? Prolonged use of toradol will fuck up your stomach and kidneys.
F
Years now. Have to get everything tested regularly. I have 3 blown disks in my lumbar spine and one fused and a herniated disk at C5-C6. I can’t walk or function at all without regular toradol, tons of opiates, and plenty of other things. I also regularly get Cauda Equina Syndrome and toradol is the only thing that stops it. It’s a mess.
I
Damn, that sounds awful. So sorry you have to go through all that. Hopefully the Bears can give you some respite. I’m a USC alum and have been so happy to see Caleb crushing it.
F
Lol well unfortunately I’m an ND alum but I’ve learned to love Caleb regardless.
I
Nobody’s perfect. 😉

It’s very different though. A baseball swing is a much more explosive motion. They’re uncoiling and basically putting everything in their body into getting maximum rotational force on a single movement.
T
And for pitchers in baseball who often miss a lot of time for obliques too, the margin of error on a baseball pitch vs an average pass is much smaller. If you throw a 20 yard pass and miss center of the reveivers hands by a foot, they’ll still make the catch. If you miss a pitch by a foot, it’s a bad pitch.
C
Starting pitchers also make around 100 maximum effort throws in a game, quarterbacks do about a quarter of that and not every throw is max effort
R
Plus baseball players play too many games to use the same treatment options. Maybe you can take a shot and “tough it out” for one game a week. It might not be medically feasible to do that on Monday and Tuesday and Thursday and Sunday.
C
Yeah, if it’s the middle of May you’ll sit your baseball player so the injury doesn’t last all year. This is the fuckin NFL playoffs and potential last game of the season, Darnold will be out there unless it’s straight up torn. Comparing it to baseball is dumb.
V
Because the nfl lets you turn your blood into morphine if it means you’ll play
L
fucks your swing more
T
As an Orlando Magic fan, I watched my favorite basketball team’s whole season get tanked last year by oblique injuries to the two best players. Oblique injuries are no joke
H
Grant Hill and Shawn Kemp?
F
Seattle better start hoping they can hold the 49ers to 3 points again.
P
Dude in our last 2 outings, the Seahawks have scored 13 both times. With zero passing TDs and under 200 pass yards. They run the ball on us.
A
Jordan Elliott and Kalia Davis need to be benched. The difference between them and CJ West + Alfred Collins (both rookies) against the run is *insane*. Elliott is flat out not good, and while Davis does provide the most disruption right now (West’s getting there) but he’s just too easy to push around. Regularly gets displaced 3-4 yards on singles and if he’s doubled he doesn’t even have the good sense to create a pile.
O
As a Browns fan, I agree re: Jordan Elliott. Never understood how he got paid.
C
We had Maliek Collins and cut him to keep Elliott.
S
moreso to keep Y.Gross-Matos. Elliot isn’t making much.
L
Every time I see gross matos out there I get depressed. Last time we played Seattle he had a fumble bounce right in his hands and he couldn’t grab it with nobody around him. Would have changed the game.
O
Thank you. Collins was excellent this year before he got hurt.
S
starters in name only. Elliot has played about 40% of the snaps in most games. Davis has also seen his role reduced. Below 40% in three of the last four games. Collins has played 53% of the snaps since week 5. West is in that rotation as well, 38% since week 10.
L
I’ve been telling my friends this for weeks, the difference in the run defense is evident when they come in, which seems to be mostly 2nd half. I wonder if the coaching staff is concerned with their ability to hold up over a whole game. They completely shut down Philly’s run gane the wnd half last week.
A
They’re basically splitting time 50/50 between the two pairs (sometimes they put Collins and Elliott on the field at the same time) but I feel like the insistence on Elliott + Davis still playing starter-level reps is some form of delusion about their pass rushing ability, when in reality the only player who can actually rush the passer on this team is the DPR we’ve been forced to turn into a 3-down player because everyone else got hurt.
