Um. Like we dealt with the Smiths last night when Okung went out?

 

[XxxZagnutxxX]

LOL I had to double check whether or not I was in the shack. At any rate, this is bad news. Next man up!

we didn't deal with Aldon Smith, our defense was just so dominant it watered it down. Mcquistan was a turnstyle

If this does get shacked - I have a ping file ready for it.

Aldon blew through the line all night. Wilson had to roll to the opposite side on a regular basis.

The Texans will have a counter for this by then.

Play Bailey/McQ at LT, let Okung get surgery and be back for Week 12/Week 13.

We will play three premiere pass rushers, four if JPP gets back into the zone, over the next ten weeks: JJ Watt, Aldon Smith, Jared Allen, and JPP. Otherwise, I think we can still move the ball well enough to survive Okung being out. It's not great, but at least it's a place where we have depth, and the teams on our schedule are not exactly the Miamis and Chicagos of the league.

I guess STL will be tough too with Chris Long, so make that five of the next ten games with dangerous pass-rushers on that side of the line. Not great, but not bad. Just get him healthy for the playoff run.

 

[ShaunPope]

Can't win a Super Bowl without Okung. This effing blows. Hell, I don't even know how we can get the #1 seed without him.

 

[cacksman]

I think it's safe to say we'll have Bailey and Bowie active from now on.

 

[Gap Filler]

we need someone to start another topic about this, 2 isn't enough

 

[Pick6]

Garcon had this injury last season and he was out for a while.

 

[DavidSeven]

Basically posted this in another thread: Garcon and Sean Lee had similar injuries. Garcon decided against surgery and missed six weeks last season. Says the toe is still an issue for him. Lee opted for surgery and was tabled for the rest of the season (last 10 games).

Also, Garcon initially hurt his foot in Week 1 last season and played two more games before missing six. So, it really affected him for eight weeks. And again, he was able to play again because he didn't get surgery on it.

if he's back for week 12 13 he'll be ready for JPP and Aldon Smith. Jared Allen is worrisome, but that's at home against Christian ponder. The idea of Watt is really frieking me out
