Speaker 1: dot org Doctor Schneider. Another victory day here, victory Friday.

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 1: How are you merry Christmas? Sir?

5
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 2: Merry Christmas? Yeah, wonderful to have another.

6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: Victory, no doubt about it. Of course, we have some

7
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: injuries to talk about a little bit. We found out

8
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: right before the game that Luke Wattenberg is going on

9
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: IR for a shoulder injury. Now, this was something that

10
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: sort of popped up. We saw that he didn't practice

11
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: earlier in the week, and maybe there's some hope that

12
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,279
Speaker 1: he'd be back, but they put him on IR last night.

13
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: Sean Payton said, maybe if it's just the minimum four games,

14
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: it's a possibility. But the fact they put him on IR,

15
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: does that scream significant to you?

16
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a really weird pattern. As you were saying,

17
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:47,959
Speaker 2: you know, normally we have a hint or we can

18
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 2: see it on TV. Usually is kind of season ending

19
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: or part of the season ending. Injuries don't happen in practice,

20
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: But when you see a guy like that who's still

21
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: pretty young, it's usually some type of rotator cuffing or

22
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: a partial dislocation or a full dislocation of his shoulder.

23
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: So there's no doubt he's undergoing an MRI work up,

24
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 2: as you mentioned, you know that being four games on

25
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 2: the IR. If everything goes great, I think you'd be

26
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: eligible to come around back around the SC Championship game.

27
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 2: But very odd type of timing, no doubt.

28
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: We did find out last night that John Franklin Myers

29
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: has a hip flexer discomfort from the Jacksonville game and

30
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: that he was kind of limited in his snaps last night.

31
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: According to Mike Cliss, he should be good for this

32
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: next week. But give me a little more description on

33
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: what a hip flexor discomfort looks like.

34
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 2: You know, twenty five years ago, if someone had pain

35
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 2: and they're growing in front of the hip, you know,

36
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: they would just say he has a groin, and we

37
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: always just thought it was the muscles in the front

38
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 2: of the leg and all joking aside, there would be

39
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: you know this kind of concern, did he pull a muscle. Well,

40
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: now we look back at it and realize, well, those

41
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: kind of injuries twenty five years ago, or actually a

42
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: tear of the labrum the part of the hip that

43
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: holds that femeral bone in place, so the little concerning

44
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 2: that he might have a laboral tear, not just the

45
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: hip flexor so he's another guy that's getting an MRI

46
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: of the hip and we'll see what it shows in

47
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: the next week or so.

48
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: Okay, well, hopefully that's going to be some good news

49
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: because they really need John Franklin Myers. He's been fantastic.

50
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: I know that I've I've checked in with you on

51
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: this before, but I got asked a billion times last night.

52
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 1: Well it felt like they're probably more like two or three.

53
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: But last night during React, I got asked about JK.

54
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: Dobbins and I said, hey, well, I'll talk to the

55
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: doc about and we'll find out what he says. Again,

56
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: you know, with the with the Liz frank I don't know.

57
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: Is there a scenario because John Payton hinted at it

58
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: a while back that maybe he's back sooner than expected

59
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: when what most people were predicting maybe out for the

60
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: season or the Super Bowl. Is that possible?

61
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 2: You know? It's things have changed so much in our

62
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 2: injury recover timeline where now you can actually get guys

63
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 2: back in season. There's the chance that we could see

64
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 2: him back for the last week or two.

65
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: Wow, that would be remarkable.

66
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 2: And I know we obviously are going to be nuts,

67
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: and I know we're all so happy with the way

68
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 2: Harvey's playing, but it'd be nuts.

69
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: It would be nuts. Yeah, and Harvey's playing great, but

70
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: the compliment to him with JK would be phenomenal. All right,

71
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: last one here for you. So, Drake green Law missed

72
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: this game. And I know he's had some soft tissue

73
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: things with a quad. This one sounds like more like

74
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: a hamstring. Is that something that we should Again, we

75
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: knew he's probably gonna miss this game, but they didn't

76
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: put him on IR So is that a positive thing?

77
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: That's a very positive thing. And if I may add,

78
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 2: as a kid, I used to we grew up in Kansas,

79
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: and I drive across Kansas to come visit my grandparents

80
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 2: in Denver, and I'd be driving with my dad and

81
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 2: everyone else would be asleep and we'd be listening to

82
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 2: KOA over the holidays and up and night. You know,

83
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 2: I've been talking with you guys in KOA for about

84
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 2: fifteen years, but I always get this kind of leg

85
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 2: warm feeling when I think about, especially over the holidays,

86
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: thinking that you and I are talking as friends here,

87
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 2: but there's probably people all over the Western United States

88
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 2: and their cars right now, and I just want to

89
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 2: wish all of them, especially if you're a kid assuming

90
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 2: with your parent driving, very merry Christmas and a very

91
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 2: happy New.

92
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 1: Year, perfectly said, Doc. Always appreciate it. Enjoy your weekend,
