How many QB's do you have active in that situation? Do you use another one of Clifford's PS activations or risk going with Malik and Jordan?
I think if Love is ready to play in relief mode, they would probably consider him ready to start. Plus, I wouldn't want to bring him in down 28-0. The Titan defense would know that he is pretty much passing 75% of the time and just bring the heat. A good way to get him reinjured.
As much as it pains me to say, because I am going to be there and would prefer to see Love playing, I think they give Jordan another week off.
That’s where I’m at.
I’m on the fence, but even if he’s cleared? All games are important, but a Non Conference “away” game grades lower on importance. Next week’s Vikings game is much more important. I’d rather give him the weekend off and ramp him up in practice next week.
I look at it like this.
1-2 and going in full strength at home with the Vikings? I’m totally ok with that. Potential outcomes:
1-3 is NOT unrecoverable. We could claw our way back to 5-5 or 6-6 or even 7-7 and very much relevant.
2-2 and beating the Vikings? Splendid
Lots of season left with a 1-0 Division record.
Another thought. There is a realistic chance that Malik and Company squeak out another Victory. Thats a very real possibility after watching our ground attack and short game. THAT would be really ideal because we’d be 2-1 and hosting the Vikings for the Division lead, but with a healthy Love
I might even go as far as saying that the Malik Willis Victory last week supplies my confidence in giving him that opportunity. This is career changing type stuff
