On paper, if Darnold can sustain this level of play and we get Addison back we should have an very very top end offense.
As you guys know injuries are the silent team topplers that wreck seasons. I am starting to get a little concerned about Jordan Addison. When I played sports high ankle sprains are bad but shouldnt take more than 3 weeks to recover from. I used to run it out after 10 days. After 10 days the swelling is pretty minimal. And I dont know if Addison has a high ankle sprain. The ones that are lower are easier to recover from. The NFL after games are over can become the injury weenie league too as we remember from Davenport and others.
The concern here is that Addison is squating in sort of Irv Smith Jr like ways. I dont know this, his injury might be unplayable. Just saying I am wondering. Remember two years ago Zadarius Smith was playing with some nagging injuries in the second half of the season because of contract stipulations. It can be done you just have to toughen up and play through injuries. The 49ers had a tackle last year who played but could have sat and had surgery. I hope Addison isnt doggin' it. If Addison is dogging it, there is the dagger. We just dont have enough to separate from the middle of the pack to go and be in the upper pack. With Addison we probably do.
Hoping Hock gets back but Oliver deserves to start. With this running game go with what is working.
