Ah I see. Yes well there are various levels of surgery for that. You can have a discectomy or a partial discectomy. Then you are talking about a fusion which can reduce movement of the neck. Also, with any surgery on the spine, things can get worse rather than better. So the player may not be super eager to pursue surgery. Suspect Tyron Smith is in the same boat.

Yep. My wife had a spinal fusion last December and is still in as much pain or more then she was when she was dealing with it before. She basically cant use her hand at all on the right side because of nerve issues. The neck is stiff and still cant turn the neck all of the way as before. I cant imagine someone trying to play professional sports if they are having to go through the same stuff my wife is.

Sums up my feelings about Garrett perfectly.

Sorry to hear about your wife. People just aren't mechanical devices. Anything involving nerves or the spine is so wrought with peril. We get the wrong impression from all these shoulder and knee repairs that work so well.

I hope things will improve for your wife. Wish there was some magic cure I could suggest.

I am sitting here thinking of ways the Dolphins can beat the Eagles.

What the fuck is wrong with me?

LVE and Smith have really regressed this year
This is because the DL is constantly being pushed around. We need to move away from Maranelli's "gap control" defense and get some bigger bodies inside. OR, fix the offense so we can go back to scoring 30 points a game... that way this defense can do what it's built for, attacking a one dimensional offense.

The whole scheme Marinelli uses is just garbage.

Nice catch by Deebo Samuel for the TD on 4th and 2. The 49ers strike first.
