I am in China - Suzhou area right now (about 2 hours west of Shanghai in case you are not familiar). I go several times a year for work. I really like the people and have a good time here with my colleagues. But it can be frustrating as the Chinese government blocks many standard sites - Youtube, Facebook, Google to name a few. It can even be hard to get in here or Yahoo Mail. I can sometimes bypass by going through my VPN - but even then sometimes I get blocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I starting coming in 2005. At that time it was hard to find much of anything but Asian food - which I like but like anything it gets old. When you did find something different it was typically disappointing - much like it is when my friends from China come to the US. I never take them to a "Chinese" restaurant. It's just not what they are used to. If you know Suzhou very well I stay in SIP - lot's of expats and other westerners along with many of my colleagues. So there a lot of great places to eat, especially near the lake. We went to a Japanese Steakhouse last night - individual dishes - all you can eat and drink (lot's of Tsingtao!) for about $30/ea.

I question his desire and his integrity. Nah, I believe Cooley made those statements in August, Docston's been out since May. 2 hours ago, ConnSKINS26 said: So...what is the theory for you yahoos. That he all of a sudden doesn't like football and doesn't want to play, so he's just pretending he's got an owie? Lunatics, all of you. The theory, months ago, was that Docston's injury was WAY WORSE then we were being told. That has now been proven to be true. We've now pretty much at the worst-case scenario here. Its possible that Docston recovers and makes an impact next season, but history says that's unlikely. These type of lingering injuries are generally not something WRs recover from. e.g. Kevin White's season last year started virtually identical to Docston's this year, nagging shin injury that wasn't supposed to be serious, ended up needing surgery and missed the entire season. He only lasted 4 games this season before fracturing his leg. There's a little bit of hope though, Perriman was able to rehab his knee and has played in every game for Baltimore this season.

Stefanskins Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 “We saw another specialist – a couple of them now,” Gruden said. “I think with all the work that we’ve put in, we thought it was best to immobilize [Doctson] for a little bit of time and see if that can help. By the time he gets out of the boots, or boot, he’ll need time to see if he’s ready. Hopefully, we’ll get him back for the last, maybe, two games of the year.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playaction2Sanders Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Who knows with Doctson. I don't believe history is kind to players who suffer Achilles injuries. Steve Smith though is on pace for 1,000 yards after suffering his injury last year. But yea I didn't care what the media said about Doctson, Scot's reaction to the news back during training camp was enough for me and today just proves it. Who knows if this kid will be what he was in college.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 What FACTS? Where is your proof that he has no desire? The only thing you conspiracy theorists have is what that "sour grape" Cooley said. You know, I'm starting to hate that guy. Go back to Utah and piss and moan about the Sister Wives. I'm might ditch my 47 jersey if this keeps up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hard work, dedication, and resiliency is unreal. And you question this guys desire? Unreal. Not sure why it is so hard for people to understand that **** happens! He has soreness in a part of his body that is critical to him doing his job! If you can't plant your foot or run full speed you can't be a WR! He has tried to play through as some would suggest. He can't. And he risks hurting it more and making it permanent. Putting him on IR is the best thing for him and the team. He may never work out. The injury may end his career before it starts. But the narrative has to be it's very unfortunate that it happened to such a hard working and gifted young man, not the ridiculous notion that he lacked desire. This is a cute, warm and fuzzy take until you hear otherwise from guys who are legitimately plugged in with the team. Sorry that goes against what you hope for bud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetThePointsSoar Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Does anyone have any update on how he's doing?

Darrell Green Fan Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I think it's pointless to count on him this year even if he returns, which is doubtful I would think.. As WRs typically take a few years to develop this wasted year has a double bad effect as it could delay his development by a year. And that is with the best case scenario that he is healthy by OTAs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruden said in one of his press meetings when asked about Josh the other day that Docston was out of the boot, though I believe he said it was something he "noticed". Being busy with head coaching the team, I don't believe he has been closely monitoring Docston. You never really know, but I have a feeling we won't see a whole lot of Josh this season, which means next year will be like his rookie year.
