Fellas..... Feeling shattered.... But it's week 1....
We lost to a team that in my opinion will be greatly improved this season... Tua is the real deal - he is hard to dislike... 466 yards - wow.
But this post is purely to throw some support around JC Jackson... I'm sure the this weeks Ask BoltFam may have some negative comments about JC... But I just want everyone to take it Easy on JC. He was injured on the 24th of October last year with a FULL rupture of the patellar tendon... We've all heard the unlikelyness of return to play after this injury, let alone ever getting back to the same level..
There is no doubt JC was average on Sunday - he was made to look pretty poor... But - this was Tyreek Hill man... We've seen that guy many times before and there are no corners in the game who can lock him down.. The bloke is an absolute freak.. It's not like he was getting beaten by Phillip Dorsett or Hunter Renfrow... It was Tyreek bloody Hill!
He made a big blunder on the intercept by not going down in the End Zone, and it really cost us - the pussy porpoises made us pay pretty much instantly... But.... Put yourself inside his head in that moment - he suffered a likely career ending injury 10 and a half months ago. He has put blood, sweat, tears into this return... No one has worked harder than JC to get back on the field... This man has $40 million in guaranteed money - he could have just cruised through rehab and slept each night on a bed of $100 bills... But no - not JC... So I can forgive him for thinking a little unclear in that moment... He takes a INT and after what he has been through - I have no doubt that the mind was a bit foggy and the brain maybe not computing things properly and quite simply, the emotions of the last 10 and a half months would have hit him hard..
Anyway - I'm just saying - I'm with JC and I look forward to watching the rest of this comeback... You've already done the Bolt Gang proud mate and I'm certain, that we will see the best of you - your desire will shine through and the organisation and us fans will be rewarded..
Also - I know it's a loss - but how good is having football back... What was your favourite non-charger moment of week 1? (and you can't all say the Chiefs losing hahaha)
all good points dirty duck. staley didnt do him any favors either putting him on an island against hill. i respect his work ethic to get back, but that pass interference at the half and trying to run it out of the end zone? that is menatl man.
