Flus gives a vague response to whether Leatherwood plays this weekend. But a guy who is not Coach Flus suggests a good reason to start him.

The Boyle signing sorta makes sense (with his familiarity with Getsy) but the signing of Brown (a DE) with all the injuries in the defensive backfield, to include now backup Safety Cruckinshank(sp?)?? ??♂️

Saw somewhere else that claimed both Jackson and Mooney on IR:

Wife and I were just discussing this. If Simien and Justin could stand on the field together and Simien could tell Justin when to throw the call, he’d be golden. Justin just needs more time to ‘see the field’ and have things slow down for him. He also needs to trust his throws. Most of the passes Simien has thrown have been contested. For Justin, it’ll come. Remember Simien was drafted to replace Payton Manning. And has been with four other teams since before coming to Chicago.

Patrick is done for the year.

Honestly, just this morning I was thinking I’d like to see how Siemien runs the offense…for a few reasons. He’s more a pocket passer who’s been around a few years. He’s not a horrible QB but if he’s able to do anything, mostly by passing, then that could tell us a bit more on whether the offense itself will be a success (should Getsy keep his job?). Can Getsy adapt to this style of play versus how you game call for Justin? But at the end of the day I still feel Justin is our guy. The second reason I want to see Siemien play is just to give Fields a much needed rest. As I said before he more than deserves it. Putting him back in too early will do more harm than good, both physically and mentally. Edit: and to help Poles make the decision on whether Fields is the ‘leader’ he is, there’s this:
-
“Normal” Shoulder dislocation could heal up in six weeks (without surgery). Drew Brees dislocated his throwing side shoulder and tore his labrum in 2006 (while still with the Chargers). Had surgery and was back at it six weeks later. Some would say he had a pretty good career. The silver lining is that this was Justin’s non-throwing side and from what we so far know he hasn’t torn his labrum (like Mitch did a few years back). Torn labrums are no joke. Id say just rest him the rest of the year and don’t risk further injury.

Agreed. Fields has more than proven himself. At this point his playing only hurts him more than helps. Heard in a presser today that Flus is saying ‘day to day’, but noted expert doc David Chao suggests he sit for awhile. And physical therapist Mason West agrees. * Edit: with the Jets ranking in the top-10 for defense and have a spot to play for, even better idea to sit Justin this week.
