MRob has physical with Seahawks tomorrow (confirmed by team)

[Hawkscanner]

They are probably testing him for whatever bug he had before, so I'm assuming it's not a routine physical and might require extra time.

Another thought on why we may not have heard anything is in regards to the contract. If he's passed, it could be contract negotiations that are holding things up. I'm totally speculating, but that's completely plausible given the circumstances.

Not a bug, it was meds.

Sooooooo out of the loop.

I'm happy to hear this news more for the fact since we released M.Rob our run game IMO to me has looked like its taken a significant hit. M.Rob's become like the Ying to Lynch's Yang and's become apparent especially when half the time you can sense lynch doesn't trust our rookie Fb's running opposite of them or avoiding them all together.

Whether it's true or not, i don't recall hearing this sentiment until Kearly (pretty sure it was Kip) wrote it. Now i see it all over the board. Same phrasing "trust".

Are you accusing the board of groupthink? Letting Kip think for them?

I myself wonder how the kip fan club will function or think without his posts.

I hope MRob comes back and stays.

You think by taking somebody else down you can climb a little? It probably won't work.

Not sure who or what you are talking about. Kip is great, I enjoyed his opinions even if I didn't always agree. Others took them as gospel......I found that a bit odd.

Keep attacking and assuming that I made my observation by reading someone's thread (once again assuming that I even read), when anybody watching the games can clearly see for themselves whats going on. And its also pretty obviously between last year and this year our teams running game has taken a few steps back. And holy hell I used the word Trust, a word very commonly used in many situations when players have to rely on each other.

We use a FB about 30% of the time. If Lynch carries 20 times in a game that is 6 carries with a FB. So 3 carries he doesn't trust his FB? 6 carries with Mike Rob will be the difference? I think it has more to do with injuries along the line, adjustments made to playing the zone read, and adjustment to how teams play Wilson then 6 carries a game.

Well now that you mention it, I'm kind of missing Kips' sensible, and well thought out posts, because all we have now is SOME of his detractors chpeiling some of their own opinionated nonsensacle BS to peruse around here nowadays eh? :roll:

Significant hit and yet is 2nd in the NFL for rushing yards......Doesn't look to bad to me.

Maybe we only use the fullback 30% of the time because its not very effective with him. The coaching staff will not run an unsuccessful play often.

Maybe. Maybe not. He was taking those meds for a reason. If it was for, let's say, a virus of some sort, and he reacted poorly to his prescription drugs, the team will still want to test for that virus.

Where did you find that 30% figure? Not doubting you, I'd just be interested to see more data on formation tendencies. Also for accuracy's sake, if we use a fullback on 30% of all plays I'd assume the ratio is a little higher for running plays.

LMAO.

I totally dig the humor, but MikeRob shows up and the entire team gets shipped to the CDC.

Exactly. I've been reading the 30% figure thrown around a lot lately. And even if true, that's 30% of all plays, not just running plays.

That 30% number was last year with mike Rob. You won't see it more this year than last. It's possible we have less FB this year and with Harvin coming I'm guessing even less.
