In defence, I see, for the second games.

Different role for him this season. V Forest he was our most influential defender with more defensive actions than anyone else. If Tanaka keeps playing then we should see Stach from last season rather than Stach in a DMF role

Good for Anton, well done that man. Comes across as a good guy, and the sort of guy you want in your squad. I'm sure he is highly thought of by the rest of the squad. Not had as good a start as im sure he wanted and we wanted but plenty of time for him to get back to doing what he does well.

He hasn't been at his absolute best imo this season

But this may explain why

He's still feeling the effects of that nasty ankle injury

People forget the mental side of an injury, it can take a while to become fully confident the injury doesn't happen again. Particularly ACL/MCL/PCL tears, ankles and hamstring injuries.

It's why I'm not expecting Joseph back this season and why it might take Rodon longer than 8 games/weeks

Agree with that Sub. There is always the tendency to protect the injury - which ironically can make the player more prone to get injured as he hesitates.
Joe may be an exception - he seems to bounce back quickly - we can only hope. I tend to feel his injury this time was in part due to him trying the wingback role and sprinting down the wing. He can do it but you can see it isn't natural for him.

Very true Faaip :ok:

And I'm sure these guys are aware that this is their career, livelihood and providing for their families that's at stake.

Back to the NFL 😂

Jayden Daniels dislocated his elbow last November and wasn't able to play until our first game against the Eagles.

We lost a close fought match and JD5 would in the past have been raging at the defeat. But, when interviewed he just said he felt happy and relieved to have completed the game.

He then had the terrible luck against Dallas to have another freak incident and fell on the same elbow and dislocated it again.

So, Washington are now in a position where he has two years left on his rookie contract. Ideally we want him back on the field to see if he can stay injury free.

As things stand, he's very unlikely to get a franchise contract, due to his injuries. So, Washington have to decide if it's worth committing our future to a generational talent, whose injury prone.

Or do we reset yet again and look to tank and invest in a less talented, but more durable QB?

We are all devastated by this bad luck, and nobody more than Jayden himself, as his potentially great career is at risk.

DQ will be sacked in January, and deservedly so. AP's roster build has failed spectacularly, so he may also be hoofed. And all of this has been triggered by Jayden Daniels left elbow 😢

I think it was that caveman tosser Kilman who injured him, against the Hammers?

I was worried for Penix last night, I'm a big fan and he seemed to get rushed back after the injury last year, Reinjuring an injury like Daniels did seems poor player management. I don't think he had the Tommy John surgery last year after the dislocation as non throwing arm. He probably should have had it..So much talent, get him fit again and someone will benefit.. But he probably needs to have the surgery and reset next season. He should at least be cheaper to extend.

Yeah, Penix seems a bit fragile. He's a really good pocket QB imo.

Jayden didn't have the surgery last year, and I don't think he'll have it now as the pressure is on for 5 to save DQ's soul 😂

Word on the street is Jayden doesn't want the surgery and wants to play. They rushed him back last season and he aggravated the elbow and was out again.

Dumbass play calling and time management, plus a s**t roster, keeps putting Jayden at risk.

AP will look at him as an asset and likely advise him to get the surgery. But, I've heard that this surgery doesn't guarantee anything.

Quinn will go regardless now. And AP is likely to follow, as his draft picks have been unsuccessful apart from Jayden, Sonny Styles and Antonio Williams.

Two of those are first round picks, which you'd expect is hard to f**k up, but Washington usually does tbh.

If AP is still here he's likely to throw a cheap offer to extend to Jayden, and maybe the vultures will circle.

Unless Jayden can avoid injury and become available long term then I don't see us giving him the keys to the kingdom.

It's all very raw for us now, and I'm still in shock.

Doesn't help that the Eagles have a great roster, hit on every pick and continue to win games that they should lose.

I'm a fan of Luke McCaffrey so seeing him as inactive is a bit of a surprise. Anyway wrong thread I guess
