Looks like we are catching the Giants at the right time in week 2. I like their off-season moves and Harbaugh will make them more competitive instantly but players might still be adjusting to his system in week 2, if Nabers isn't playing yet that is another big advantage, they've had other key injuries, etc. Lots of the "bad" teams on our schedule this year look to be much better in2026-27 to my eye. NYG. Vegas. Arizona. That we get them all relatively early is nice. The "good" teams will be challenging no mater when you play them.
 

I had a hernia sprint training at age 23. I've never been the same athletically since. Not that I have reasons to do so anymore, but if I was to sprint 110% today in my 30s, we are talking giving it my 100% all, I would not feel comfortable doing it. Haven't felt truly "stable" since. I think something would pop or sprain if I tried to crank it that hard. When doing cardio today for general fitness, even when mixing in some faster speeds, I keep it about 75-80% speed tops where I feel nice and comfortable physically during the movement. Granted, I was never a high level athlete. He will have top notch rehab staff available 24/7. And clearly has better genetics than I have, LOL! But I wouldn't down-play a hernia. Those can really leave a lasting impact. Glad we didn't draft him if he had this. I seem to recall Tavon Austin suffered one too, and at least to the eye test, he never looked quite the same after, as well? Tavon's was also "minor".
