Mathews doubtful?

I would go as far as saying he could be voted as team MVP. He is smart enough to give credit to the O-line which is nice.

@sdutCanepa: Ryan Mathews showed us all something, trying to go with high ankle sprain. High ankle sprains are monsters. Of course we weren't told.

Anyone else notice that reporters often are almost completely reliant on the teams for information? Not that Canepa is susggesting anything about McCoy, but if reporters don't like what he is saying in the press conferences, maybe they need to go do some of the leg work and figure things out on their own.

Trotter did have deep inside sources on the team, but my thinking is that players now are very guarded of what they say about the team to reporters...but maybe careless using social media. The players probably have been told to not say anything about injury, or potential weaknesses. I hope that MM will be a little more direct about injuries going forward after games, since everyone knows that something happened anyway, but during the week, you can't detail injuries like Clary's without losing competitive advantage.
