I wonder if this could sideline him into the season or even more, the bottoms of his feet are torn up, I cant imagine it being comfortable to even gingerly walk, never mind running or cutting in cleats.

Trust the process....

Speaking of injuries, Bosa out of preseason due to a severe ankle sprain. If it were a veteran I wouldn't care so much about missing the preseason but a rookie needs all the reps he can get. Ugh

Bargain price, too. Still think the Browns should've kept him for the games Kareem Hunt's gonna miss.

Yeah that was the whole thing with not wearing adequate footwear in the cryo chamber I believe. I bet it'll be on the show next week.

All this AB/cryotherapy stuff would be so much funnier if he'd actually ended up in Buffalo lol

Since we don't have a GM, I understand the trade was made by HC Bill O'Brien. I don't like the guy and don't see how he has earned such power.

I will probably watch some of the Bills game tonight to see Ed Oliver. Hope he does great for y'all.

"Trust The Process" is quite literally stenciled onto the walls in our team facility. It has very much become a vital part of our DNA. The process is a way we choose to live our lives. The process is what is going to make us get to where we ultimately want to go. You have to live the process. You have to breath the process. You have to trust the process. You have to become addicted to the process.

No. No. No. It would not at all.

He has had a good camp. I'm looking forward to see how that translates into a game setting tonight.

I know all of this and you have said it before but the process has netted one playoff appearance in 20 years probably time to adopt another slogan.

Also, the walls in the team facility say "Respect the process", at this point "Trust the process" is synonymous with the Sixers, where the process has actually worked. Looks like Embiid and the Sixers get first dibs on the "trust the process" trademark anyways.

Trusting the process started for us when McDermott showed up, and as I said is very much in our DNA. The process was vital to us breaking the drought, and it’s going to be equally vital at putting us where we want to be. I have nothing against the Sixers, but trusting the process means just as much to us as it does them. Having said that why does this bother you so much? I wouldn’t criticize something that obviously meant a great deal to you. I’m a little perplexed as to why you’re doing it to me?

So broken-handed Robert Quinn has now been suspended 2 games for his seizure meds. Stupid NFL.

Relax my dude, I didn't personally attack you. I am allowed to think its all very silly and you are allowed to think that me thinking its silly, is silly. Beyond that I am a random dude on the internet you have never met, my opinion of a silly, non-result getting, borrowed, slogan should not matter to you in the grand scheme of things, if at all.

Back on topic, slew of injuries to the Niners - Williams, Richburg, Verrett and McKinnon - all expected to miss all or most of the preseason. Frustrating in regards to McKinnon as he was just activated from PUP two days ago and now is getting PRP treatment. Team did fine with Breida and Mostert filling in last year but McKinnon was the big FA sign last offseason and he still hasn't taken the field, ugh.
