Yes, OK. " Hey the other team has so and so out so I guess we’ll rest a couple of our best players”. This is the NFL. If they weren’t hurt they’d be going. Saying it’s week 6 and vs an inferior would be better logic. 

I already said that I didn’t like the language that Sirriani used when describing the Carter and Slay injuries. Not sure if you heard it, but he basically said and indicated that these were 1 week injuries. What coach ever says that lol.

It was very obvious from that PC that he was resting them because it was ‘just’ the Jets. 

Now we find out that Sauce has a concussion, when all week he was described as missing practice with an "illness”.

Do you think it’s impossible that Nick knew that before the rest of the public?

Say goodbye to the Heisman Penix.

Put a different way, if we were playing Dallas or SF this week, both guys would be playing.

Maybe? But that doesn’t matter

Oregon was stupid not to kick a FG there.

Sauce being out should have nothing to do with Slay and Carter being out. He’s resting them because it’s week 6 and they’re hurt. 

Okay I can agree that he is resting them, but that doesn't explain the Ugh.

Gotta think Sirriani had this info on Sauce early in the week, making it an even easier decision to rest Slay and Carter

I don’t think so, it doesn’t add up. He practiced Wednesday and Thursday, then Friday he was out because of an illness, and now somehow he has a concussion?

This looks really bad for the Jets training staff. Now I’m wondering if he picked up a concussion either last game or in practice, and the "illness” that made him miss practice were actually concussion symptoms.

Why doesn't it matter?  Doesn't the absence of Sauce make the "just the Jets" logic even stronger?

Of course it does.

Weird situation though, as LMGM pointed out, Sauce practiced earlier in the week.

I’d like to change my Eagles score prediction with Sauce out.

Eagles 34

the rest the same.

This is the NFL. It’s week 6 and they’re hurt. I don’t put a lot stock into Sirianni saying they’re 1 week injuries. If these guys could go, I think they’d be going. Maybe it’d make sense to rest Brown or Smith with Sauce out. 

 

Craig James expected to start for Sauce

Yup.  Were gifted that possession by Washington.   Take the points and go get after it in the 2nd half.   Going for the TD seemed like a desperation move.

Bold move.    That guy is a bit old, and now they are asking him to play out of position.

 

Spoiler

I don’t think they’re going to give up something substantial. It could be a 6th rounder for a WR and a 7th rounder. This is a Super Bowl or bust season, having depth at key spots is important. Right now they have 3 playable WRs on the roster. Something’s going to have to be done at some point. Wouldn’t shock me if they give up like a 7th for Mecole Hardman or something before the deadline.

Much rather keep a 6th/7th than trade it for a player that has 1 reception on the season. What is he going to contribute to this offense?

 

I don't think I've ever seen two CBs go down on the same play before
