I tore my left ACL in 1992.

A few years ago, I hurt my right knee, and was certain I’d torn my other ACL. Turned out to be a hyperextension (no surgery).

The point is...while you probably will be correct, you don’t know that he tore his ACL.

We’ll likely know by tomorrow.

Of course my friend. Just speculation based on a lot of experience. And have had multiple MCL and meniscus tears myself. It the way his knee flexed on his plant and where he grabbed it that sells me on an ACL.

Highly doubt that. We'll see more Nick Williams before we see a philosophy change.

I think this is probably right, but we’ll see...

Cooper is a terrible route runner. He’s a nice ST player. Subpar WR.

Not with how Everett and Higgs have been playing. That allows McVay to show more wrinkles. No offense to Nick Williams, but he scares NO ONE. Our TE's actually do. I think we see a mix of 11 with Reynolds and 12 with both Higgs and Everett going forward.

We will see. He is great on jet sweeps and is great in space. But, I don't think he supplants Reynolds by any stretch. He is just a more trusted option than Williams or Hodge.

I don't think so. Not with how the TE's have been coming on. They create way more mismatches and can block better than Williams. Sean can run the same shit out of 12 as he can out of 11, especially if he flexes one of the TE's outside or to the slot.

I will miss Kupp as much as any fan but it's not like McVay is burdened by a lack of playmakers. We're not the Saints where we have to hold tryouts for old, disgruntled WRs.
