[QUOTE="broguy, post: 646222, member: 11278"] Could definitely be coach speak or could be that Demovsky jumped on the gun on his source. His initial report was that Adams was unlikely to play because the MRI revealed a potential MCL sprain. That was the big breaking news. Since then he's been writing about it more definitively. In later reports he says Adams sprained his MCL, adding that it's an injury that takes a few weeks to a few months to heal. Did his source call him back within a few hours to tell him that or did he make the leap on his own? Also, that's a very broad recovery time that sounds like it was plucked straight from WebMD. As it stands, we have reports of a "potential sprain" and "unlikely to play" that are actually attributable to a scout. So that's what I'll go with until we hear further from McCarthy. Looking at it from another perspective though, Adams says he's fine, and the MRI only revealed a potential sprain, which likely means it's a low grade sprain at worse. You can come back from a minor sprain in 2 or 3 weeks. 1 week with the season on the line? Who knows. But that's just speculation and no better than Demovsky's "reporting". Anyway, this shows my bias against Demovsky. Never a fan of his stuff. ETA: Case in point: this article about how Arians thought a couple of bounces changed the week 16 game ([URL]http://espn.go.com/blog/green-bay-packers/post/_/id/27182/bruce-arians-offers-generous-view-on-week-16-blowout-of-packers[/URL]). Arians makes the same point many of us have made about how a few plays really led that game to spiral out of control for the Pack. Demovsky asserts that Arians is being generous (and potentially sandbagging), implying that this wasn't the case at all, then goes on to describe how a few plays turned a potentially close game into a blow out. Is he even reading what he's writing? [/QUOTE]
