Instant Reaction to the 49ers Placing De'Zhaun Stribling on IR

Breaking news, the 49ers have placed Dajon Stribling on IR. That doesn't mean his season is over. It means he can come back in four weeks. And maybe this doesn't sound like good news to you. Maybe you were hoping that he could come back in a couple of weeks, but it sounds like he has a grade two deltoid sprain in his ankle, which takes four to eight weeks to recover if surgery isn't necessary. So to me, I think this is good news in the sense that it indicates that the Niners aren't going to try to rush Stribling back onto the field in a couple of weeks, like they did to Ricky Pearsall last year. I mean, Ricky Pearsall hurt his PCL and they didn't put him on IR, which indicated that they wanted him back on the freaking field and he took longer than they wanted and that relationship's messed up and now his knee is messed up. And who knows? I mean, they say they didn't, they weren't wrong and that they were following the right medical protocols and whatever, but, uh, they were wrong. They, they, they had an opinion, their opinion was wrong and it cost him, uh, time, uh, and, and years on his career. So hopefully they don't do that to Dajon Stribling. Hopefully they learn their lesson. Hopefully when they bring him back, he's fully ready to come back and he doesn't mess it up again and, and then need surgery down the line. Like if he needs surgery, get it. Now, if he doesn't need surgery, make sure that he makes a full recovery before he's back on the field. And please this week against the dolphins, all we care about, you know, we know you're going to beat the dog. Just don't have someone get injured, go in the blue tent and then go back on the field and get injured again. That is the Niners challenge for this week. If someone gets hurt and is borderline where they should go back in the game or not, keep them out. It's the dolphins. I want to see all the starters wearing ball caps in the, in the fourth quarter of the game. Anyway, on the sideline, this is a ball cap game. That's the goal. Matt Jones should play in this freaking game. Um, and I don't want to see Dajon Stribling for at least a month. This is good news. The Niners seem to be acting with a little bit more caution. Thank freaking God.
