Jordan got hurt in his first preseason game with a high ankle sprain, and he needed, he wasn\u2019t ready yet, like 95-percent of guys who come into training camp aren\u2019t. And then you take them through a few preseason games, you take them through an entire training camp and they\u2019ve got a chance to get there for Week 1.<\/p>\n
And then they usually realize, \u2018oh, I\u2019m not totally quite ready. This is what I\u2019ve got to do and maybe I can get there by Week 5, Week 6.\u2019 When you get hurt right away in training camp and you miss a whole training camp it\u2019s a huge window for guys who aren\u2019t quite ready yet. That was their chance to get ready. And then when you come back, where are you when you come back? If it\u2019s off a high ankle sprain, how\u2019s your conditioning now? Alright, now it takes you three weeks just to get your conditioning back to where you can start to have a chance to improve.<\/p>\n
And when that happens, you have a setback, which he did. And so, you kind of miss that window where you had a chance to gain on people. And then where you sit in Week 12, Week 13 behind a group of guys that are more consistent at this time in their career than you are.<\/p>\n
And then it just, it becomes unfortunate for those guys. You know, when you have a losing season, you\u2019re totally out of stuff and you just want to give guys chances and that\u2019s all right. But, when you\u2019re trying to compete for one seed, trying to compete just to get in the playoffs, you don\u2019t experiment with that at the expense of the football team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jordan got hurt in his first preseason game with a high ankle sprain, and he needed, he wasn\u2019t…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":698486,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[7,6,52067,1137],"class_list":{"0":"post-698485","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-nfl","10":"tag-san-francisco-49ers-roster","11":"tag-san-francisco-49ers-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115943559986476113","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/698485","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=698485"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/698485\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/698486"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=698485"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=698485"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=698485"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
