At least that’s some good news. He was supposed to never be able to do anything without a brace again. So seeing that he is able to practice without on is a good sign.

Maybe he will be back to normal eventually.

I just hope he doesn’t get over confident, then not wear it, and reinsure himself foolishly

It's really not, it's more or less bullshit. What, you think practices in this time of year are anything like full speed?

Just stop. He is a fucking gimp and always will be. We're talking NERVE DAMAGE here, not just bruising and shit.

Yep which is precisely why I posted it under the debacle. Surgery was 2.5 years and still fucking around with problems.

Yeah and they can blow all the sunshine and rainbows up the idiot lapdog asses of the Dallas sports media and it still does not change the fact that he is Forrest fucking Gimp.

Considering he was NEVER considered to be able to walk, let alone practice, let alone play without a brace again....

I’d say yeah, it’s a big fucking deal. He is moving in the right direction

With that said, will he be the player we hoped he would be? Will he be the player he was at ND? Who knows

But this is at least a good sign and better then he was EVER expected to be again

Considering that his career was supposed to be over already I would say this is a step in the right direction

That word "never" was never used. That's part of the hype narrative.

It's not. It's meaningless.

Because you're buying into the bullshit.

Yes it was

He was supposed to require a brace for the rest of his career. The doctors said he would never be able to play/practice without a brace again

And yet he’s our #2 LB behind Sean Lee
That makes us stupid, which you already knew about our FO.

But he is not #2 behind anyone, he is #1 Mike. Sean Lee is a SAM.

That's all bullshit. First you said he would never walk, now it's "practice or play," make up your mind. And fucking SOURCE some of this shit, give a source that isn't related to the Dallas Cowboys.

You are buying into this stupid bullshit like a Homer.

They (being the doctors, you know those guys, those are the professionals in this area) said that he would never walk again without a brace

He is - fact
They said he would never practice again with it a brace
He is - fact
They said he will never play again without a brace
We shall see- he’s getting close

Nobody ever said, any of this shit about what he would NEVER do.

You're way overhyping it.

Vander Esch is going to be the MLB, they reported a few times this offseason that Smith is moving to strong OLB.
