Unger Update?

[jamsomatic]

Anything?

PC just said it was a Pec Strain. I am wondering if it is like the one TJ had.

 

[jamsomatic]

Thank you.

Was the pec strain going on during the game because he sure has been snapping the ball very low on shotgun formations...

Pete said there was a player who had the same issue and was able to play through it, so he will wait to see how Max feels day to day about the issue and how much of a drop off it would be from the pain.

Been doing this all year. I actually think Jeanpierre is playing better than Unger and would rather see him at center.

 

[King Dog]

I'm no kind of coach or talent evaluator, but would Unger be better at G? The guy is horrible at snaps out of the gun for some reason.

Hopefully we'll see Lem and snaps that aren't in the dirt.

I like Unger but Lem's an upgrade.

I was thinking about this after Lem came in, that guys huge and honestly Unger has had horrible snap problems all year, not saying Lem is definitely better but I gave it a thought.

I would bet money that Lem starts in NY and that barring some unlikely meltdown on his behalf we don't see Unger until the playoffs, maybe Rams game. I like the job Lem has done.

The depth has just been huge this year. Our backups have been very good and that is a major reason why this team is 11-2. Maxwell and Lane are getting great experience and it is only making the Legion even better come playoff time.

He was drafted as a C/OG, and played OG for a while until Pete came and moved him to C. He was not very good and was starting to not live up to expectations then Pete came along and everything changed.

Lem may be more gifted physically, but I think Unger's value is his ability to make line calls

This. I would be happy either way we decided to go but just from watching it looks like Max's experience and leadership edges out Lem.

And you base all of that on his shotgun snaps? There is a reason Unger is higher on the depth chart. There's an instant and noticeable improvement in pass protection with him in, but, hey, let's just make the switch based on shotgun snaps.

What the heck has happened to Unger? Wasn't he an all pro? Lineman don't usually fall off a cliff like this. Perhaps he did a little too much surfing during the off-season in his native Hawaii.

 

[nwgamer]

Come on guys.... seriously.. our first-team All-Pro needs to take a back seat to Jeanpierre? Wow ..fail. even battling injuries all season he is still better. Someone needs to actually watch the all-22 before making unfounded statements based on your limited TV viewing experience.

 

[DavidSeven]

What is everyone basing their opinions on Unger on? Some low snaps? Geez, our starting O-Line has been lights out in pass-pro since Unger, Okung and Breno came back. Why would you want to mess with that?

 

[Ad Hawk]

PC press conference yesterday said he hoped Unger would be able to play this week. When means... absolutely nothing. Doesn't sound season-ending, though.

 

[BreesIsOverrated]

Pec Strain? That's like a season-ending injury for Jay Cutler.
