eraser 722 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Wonder if this is gamesmanship, or to trust that report. Maclin playing would be amazing. A high ankle sprain is not a good thing for a WR either. Those can last six weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West 6,714 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 He could play or this is what I would do if I were Reid....Disinformation to force the Pats to prepare as if he will play. w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eraser 722 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 We won't know for sure until the game happens. A high ankle sprain is serious, but it depends upon the degree of the sprain. He may have twisted his ankle, and bruised his knee. The knee may not be damaged, but hurt. The ankle could be a minor injury. We just don't know if its gamesmanship or something else. You can play with a high ankle sprain if it is not severe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azchief21 5,278 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 The ankle sprain was so high it was his knee. This cracked me up. I could hear the conversation: Trainer: Where does it hurt? Maclin: Knee Trainer: Here? (Feeling knee) Maclin: No. Lower Trainer: Here? Maclin: Lower Trainer: Here? Maclin: Lower Trainer: That's your ankle.

FANATIC 852 Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Jeremy Maclin - WR - Chiefs Chiefs coach Andy Reid calls Jeremy Maclin's high-ankle sprain "mild," and believes he could practice later in the week. If Maclin's sprain is "mild" perhaps it's not a high sprain at all, but either way, he's suddenly trending in the right direction for Saturday's game against the Patriots. Even if Maclin is only available as a decoy, it would be a huge boost to the Chiefs' odds of springing a road upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eraser 722 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Maclin was spotted sporting white socks with no ankle braces or tape. He was walking in the locker room with no limp. The Chiefs aren't going to practice guys who are getting over injuries. They don't need the practice anyway. Among those not practicing Jeremy Maclin, sore ankle, mild sprain - will be 1 week Tamba Hali, nursing a sore knee, and broken thumb - almost 4 weeks since the injury. Justin Houston, hyperextended knee - it will be almost 7 weeks since the injury. LDT, concussion protocol - will be 1 weeks Spencer Ware, mild ankle sprain - will be 1 week Mitch Morse, concussion protocol - will be almost 2 weeks Maclin and Ware have been walking around the locker room. Reports are they are not seriously hurt and not limping. What I think is the Chiefs are being conservative. They know their players need the rest more than they need practice. So, they are allowing their players to take it easy in preparation of their game with New England. Like Maclin, Herbie Teope is reporting Ware is walking without braces, and appears to be just fine Herbie Teope @HerbieTeope 56m56 minutes ago Herbie Teope Retweeted Dale Kinser Spencer Ware is dealing with an ankle sprain. He's been in the locker room past two days, appears to move well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say something along lines of this but I thought that somebody was going to tell me how naïve I was to think that this information wouldn't get out some other way. I still say that if the information could potentially hurt your team, you don't report it. Someone else does, good for them.

eraser 722 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Reporters are journalists. Sure some root for the home team, but to them it is a job, and professionalism requires them to scoop stories, and be honest with the details. Most of our reporters are from other parts of the country, and many are not actually fans of the team. Terez Paylor is from Detroit Vahe Gregorian recently moved from Saint Louis, but moved around as a kid. (If I am not mistaken, he lived in California, Pennsylvania, Texas, and New York). The biggest homer we had was probably Jason Whitlock. His mother moved to OP, and he was a huge KC Chiefs fan, even though he grew up in Indianapolis. They chose a profession, and there is a code of ethics to follow. Besides, does it give Belichick more or less to prepare for if he is uncertain whether Maclin will play? The Chiefs will concentrate on what they can control. Down the line, 75 % of the players on the Chiefs are better than the Pats. The difference is the other 25% on the Pats may contribute more to a win, and despite their pedestrian line up, Belichick has his defense playing at a high level due to the system they play in, and the way the way they perform.
