Short celebration if Fluker is indeed out.

[SPIRITOF12]

You saw what happened the one drive without him. That horrible O Line we remember from early in the season made its appearance again.

 

[Hockey Guy]

Yeah, we need him. Hopefully he'll be back quick.

 

[knownone]

Ah yes, the horrible line that put up 273 yards rushing against the Rams.

 

[hawknation2018]

They had Hunt as the backup for that game (because he is the better backup center) instead of Pocic.

I feel pretty confident that Pocic will play well if Fluker is out on Monday.

They might want to flip Sweezy back to RG, Pocic to LG to benefit them.

Everybody celebrating the win, but losing fluker is taking an L, hunt is not the answer. Unless pete wants to pick some one up to replace dj for a little bit our o line is in trouble. Especially against the Vikings next week

 

[chris98251]

I think the Giants just recently cut their LT that was under Solari.

 

[HawkerD]

In the presser Pete said it was definitely tweaked. Hamstrings are tough to come back from. I wouldn't be surprised if he is out for a game or two.

 

[semiahmoo]

Yeah, we need him back or a suitable replacement. The game got a bit wobbly after he left.

That said, another win. We'll take it...

 

[SlickRick]

Worried site for tired eyes was seeing the day and night difference of not having dj in, Simmons nor hunt can play that well.In the draft we need more o line help

To make things worse is we play the Vikings next week & after the loss today against the pats, there playing with a purpose. Teams start to blitz the heck out of us & they will get to Wilson with ease. Next time we play the 9ers may be closer if dj isn't in the line up

We may struggle the rest of the way if the o line regresses to what they once were of years passed

Simmons also looked really good when he played in place of Fluker.

I forgot about him for a minute there. We’re good.

Petespeak for completely torn.

 

[chris98251]

Fact it was so bad he was carted off and not just wrapped says a lot, yes he is a big man but tweak is something you have issues walking with, more then that is any weight at all.

Seems to me that at least he will be out one week....maybe two.

[Seafan]

Sad. Hurts the depth. Probably out a while.

 

[original poster]

Simmons has been very solid when called upon.

I'm not worried in the slightest.

 

[Fade]

Team Simmons.

Played well in his only start filling in for Fluker @ LA.

I believe he came in for Hunt vs. the 9ers as well. I like his prospects of being an NFL starter long term.

I am not too worried about this right now. I just hope Fluker can return in the Postseason, but probably won't.

 

[hawks85]

Relax people. Some of you are acting like Fluker is the entire O-line. Yeah he's good but Hunt and SImmons are good back-ups. Fluker wasn't in the that second Rams game and we ran for almost 300 yards. We're gonna be fine.

 

[chris98251]

It's not just his blocking it's our mentality and physical presence when he is in there, you can see a difference.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Best running game in the NFL, and he's a huge part of it. When I saw him punch the turf, I had a bad feeling. Fingers crossed this is brief.
