Schefter reporting AB is “not close to 100%”

AB at 80% is still better than almost anyone else. I think he will have a very nice game.
 
Schefter is using some unnamed source. Probably feeding him misinformation.
 
So this is a battle of Schefter vs. Several other media sources. Oh and his teamates and coaches. I can tell you this much he would have had to have a significant setback. He was doing balistic Russian soldier leg kicks. No way you could do that with a bad injury. Truth is this. Chuck him in the slot. Let Juju and Bryant play the outside. Game will be won by forcing them out of their comfort zone schedule on offense anyhow. Plaster everyone and commit to the run. When you read play action MLB becomes a spy on Bortles.
 
****. Now on second and eight we might have one less guy to run a 15 yd route.
 
Well isn't that magic. One day 100% good next day not even close....haha...playing a game within a game.
 
No ****. I was simply saying that AB is a competitor, and has been at less than 100% before and still balled out. Obviously circumstances are different.

If AB truly isn't close and with the cold, the risk of re-injury or worsening the injury is high, they should sit him. We can get by the Jagoffs without him as long as we are not rusty like I think we will be. However, we can't win next week without him.
 
Any reporters who saw him at practice this week have any reports?
 
Also, what the heck does "not close to 100%" even mean. In my head, that's 60-70 percent, considering most players are in the 85-90 percent range of their full strength at this time of year anyway. If you aren't close, you probably aren't practicing at all.

or limited,

he was a full practice participant
 
If he had the flu [emoji40] I’m sure he’s weak and that’s going to be factor. But if he can play 75% of the snaps I’m happy

Schefter has reported many a FALSE statements.




Salute the nation
 
I am glad that the offense at least is familiar w/o having AB on the field. While all hands on deck would be nice, you gotta feel their edge is wide enough VS Jags offense. Blake v Ben? Just start and end there.

AB does his job if Ramsey is on him the whole game. That is the matchup we want. Let AB take their best defender out of the game, and we can dink and dunk to JuJu, Bell, and McDonald. Done.

I just watched that replay of the wk 5 game and Ramsey didn't swap sides with AB. I think that AJ Bouye is almost as good as Ramsey anyway. That whole secondary is fast and cocky...the nickle dude Colvin included. If the field is wet and slickery, the advantage will be huuge in favor of both offenses

I didn't think AB looked 100% in the video he showed with Chad Johnson. I hope he didn't push it to far to fast, if that's the case he won't be 100% next week either
