The fact that Moretti had nerve damage with his injury is what worries me about him. He's young though, so, maybe, it'll be ok. That kind of stuff is so unpredictable.I think we have 6 guys that can be pretty good and 7, if Morretti can stay somewhat healthy. I would like Adams to settle in on starters soon, and develop some consistency. Seems like he is always tinkering with the o-line.
He can win a lot of pass block battles on technique alone.The fact that Moretti had nerve damage with his injury is what worries me about him. He's young though, so, maybe, it'll be ok. That kind of stuff is so unpredictable.
I would try and redshirt CallierWho would you shirt among that group?
For what reason?I would try and redshirt Callier
I respect your opinion, but you want a guys 1st action to be in crunch time trying to run a no-hud offense? I’d rather use him when it’s not a game-winning situation and if he proves himself, then throw him to the wolves in crunch timeHe can win a lot of pass block battles on technique alone.
Down 6, 3 mins to go... play him.
For what reason?
Not my intent. 8-10 plays per quarter. Make sure he can play in 4Q. Pick his drives.I respect your opinion, but you want a guys 1st action to be in crunch time trying to run a no-hud offense?

A year on the sidelines doesn’t just automatically translate into getting better. In fact, if he’s physically ready (which he is) he needs to be on the field as much as possible to get better.Lots of reasons, depth but also to give him an extra year of getting older, stronger and better. I think he could improve quite a bit. Now Lewis is playing outside, it sounds like Wells is doing well, Falo back and Taylor seems to be coming along.
Because it’s too late to grayshirt him?For what reason?
Ok, that makes much more sense and I agree thereNot my intent. 8-10 plays per quarter. Make sure he can play in 4Q. Pick his drives.
Still limping. Nerve damage. Some days better than others. Could effect him the rest of his life.I’ve seen some stuff sparingly about Moretti but nothing concrete. Does anyone know what’s up with him? It’s been what, 2 years now since his initial injury? He benched 525 pounds this spring so you have to imagine he’s definitely got everything going well in that area. Have they said anything about him or if it’s all just precautionary? Or most likely, they’ve said nothing and nobody knows.
We were ahead by 6 Goddamnit!!! Oh, I'm not supposed to say anything.He can win a lot of pass block battles on technique alone.

I think that was a 525lb squat, but I get what you meant. I guess the nerve issue is tough to manage.I’ve seen some stuff sparingly about Moretti but nothing concrete.

Never had a nerve issue like that so I'd take your word for it.Don’t think youth has much to do with this type of thing....Nerves can regenerate, but do so at an avg rate of about 1mm per week IIRC....regardless, it’s a slow process for everyone....and can be painful. If they won’t regenerate, there are nerve repair procedures that can be done, but that should be an absolute last result. It ain’t fun.
I was talking with my daughter this evening about this, bachelor's degree in athletic training, certified athletic trainer c currently in the second year of her athletic training master's program now, nerve damage with knee reconstruction is extremely common. Usually manifest in a lack of sensation causing coaches and trainers to be overly cautious as it is difficult to gauge readiness based on feeling. Sometimes it will manifest itself as hyper nerve activity causing more pain than should be present at that point of rehabilitation. No idea what type some nerve damage he is dealing with.Don’t think youth has much to do with this type of thing....Nerves can regenerate, but do so at an avg rate of about 1mm per week IIRC....regardless, it’s a slow process for everyone....and can be painful.

This makes sense. My mother had a knee replacement done several years ago due to arthritis. There was some nerve damage as a result of the surgery and to this day she says the knee is as painful as it was before the surgery.I was talking with my daughter this evening about this, bachelor's degree in athletic training, certified athletic trainer c currently in the second year of her athletic training master's program now, nerve damage with knee reconstruction is extremely common.

That’s the condition in cases like this that end up lingering and can be a humongous pain in the ass (especially for an athlete). I have no idea if that’s what he’s dealing with, as it tends to manifest in more severe physical injuries/trama. Regardless, nerve damage is terrible, can cause a ton of discomfort, and can be a mystery sometimes as how to best fix it. Best case is, he simply just needs more time for his body to do its thing....cause the alternatives are MUCH more complicated.Sometimes it will manifest itself as hyper nerve activity causing more pain than should be present at that point of rehabilitation.
