Back in the day seeing a boot was very concerning....now...If you have any tendon strain or ligament strain or ankle roll- boot is virtually automatic - helps you heal faster more efficient....

I'm using one of these in my pre-season drills, getting into game day shape.

I need a headboot to keep my brain on task until kickoff. I'm so damn giddy to get this season underway... I don't want to hurt myself in the course of my regular routine as I

Those that have seen the team at practice this week, how have they looked?
We should get back to football.

Lets talk Paul Whitmill for a second. Let us not forget this guy out of high school was the 37th ranked LB in the country according to 247, number 5 in Texas. He was listed at 6-1, 230 lbs, although there is a discrepancy from 247 to Rivals to TCU roster. My curiosity is about the move to LB it has to be a height issue, I do not have his stats (40yd, bench, shuttle) but my thought is that plenty he must have plenty of speed and strength if he was moved to LB. Also I don't think Patterson would recruit anyone without speed.
I believe that Whitmill can play LB and will do it well, I went back and watched some of his HS clips and he seems to have a good nose for the ball, which tells me he has instincts. To me his size and weight remind me of Mallet but lets hope he has a bit more speed. I don't think its time to mail it in at LB just yet.
Look I know we are all worried about DT with Pierson out, I think we have a strong committee of guys to fill and plug holes up the middle. I think Lawson (6-4, 280) and Curry (6-2, 280) will be just fine, maybe not great and are not a proven commodity but consider me in the "wait and see" mode

I think I need a boot then my wife will leave me alone and let me watch football all weekend. This board is really paying off for me.
On a serious note what happened to good old fashioned tape? Do they not tape up ankles anymore to prevent it from rolling in practice?

Hopefully Whitmill has the ability to overcome mental mistakes with he speed. Wilson should be a great WSLB on passing plays yet I don't know how he will be able to handle the run.
As much as I hate to say it..I've officially got the "win by 1" mindset. Let's get the offense clicking..hope the defense can bend but not break..and pray for no more injuries or suspensions. Summers is a smart kid and Howard/Wilson are more than capable. If Whitmill emerges that's seemingly just a bonus at this point.
