LB Devon Kennard
October 7, 2015
Q: How concerning is the hamstring they’re listing you with today?
A: It’s day to day. I’ve probably iced it 100 times since our last game, and I’m just trying to get it right and doing whatever the trainers tell me, and hopefully I’ll be back soon.
Q: Last game? So it was hurt prior to going into Buffalo?
A: No, I’m talking about after the Buffalo game.
Q: Are you hopeful for this weekend?
A: I’m hopeful just because I want to be out there with my team. I love the way that we’re playing, I love what we have going on, and if there’s any way possible I can play on Sunday, I will. I’m going to be listening to the trainers and seeing how it feels every day.
Q: You know a hamstring is kind of iffy, they’re not going to push it.
A: We’re taking it day by day and whatever the trainers tell me is best and seeing how it feels and what I can do on it.
Q: You’ve had hamstrings before if I’m not mistaken, have you learned how to deal with it, but do you have ways you can expedite it this time?
A: Hopefully. I did deal with one last year and so I kind of know the protocol and stuff and I’m going to be doing everything I can. Like I said, I’ve been icing non-stop, elevating it, and trying everything I can to help the recovery process so I can get back out there with my guys.
Q: Do you remember how long that one kept you out?
A: Three weeks, maybe, I don’t remember.
Q: Do you think this is worse or better?
A: I’m not sure. It’s hard to say either way but all I know is I’m going to do everything I can to get back as soon as I can.
Q: Is it tough for you as a teammate to see the stuff the Bills said about Odell [Beckham Jr.]?
A: I don’t even know what they said.
Q: They said he threw a bunch of punches in the games and they called him a prima donna.
A: They said who did?
Q: Odell, they said Odell threw some punches.
A: I don’t even listen or worry about any of that. It’s the first of me hearing it. Odell is a teammate and a great player. It is what it is.
Q: When you look at the 49ers, what type of unique challenges, this is the second week in a row you’re facing a scrambling quarterback. How is [Colin] Kaepernick different from [Tyrod] Taylor?
A: They’re both good scrambling quarterbacks and Kaepernick can beat you with his legs. He’s very athletic and can do a lot of different things and they have a really good running back. Carlos Hyde is a really good back and he really knows how to cut, get vertical, and has great vision. We have our hands full.
I noticed that, too. Combine that with not being bright enough to ask the player how his his MRI went the previous day...
Pretty unreal that these guys get paid to ask important questions, but can't seem to do it..
Probably for Cowboys
It is frustrating. But you have to like our chances this week with San Frsn nevertheless. Maybe we get Kennard and Ayers back next week.
Somehow have to find a receiver threat to take pressure off of OBJ. Otherwise Eli is going to have to force some passes his way until Cruz is ready.
Our starting quarterback. Did you think at all before asking that question? Hankins is another one.
Its football. People get hurt. Life's tough. I'm really sorry.
