Scramble for the Ball

Andrew: Hello and welcome to Scramble for the Ball, where our initial pleasant surprise that Week 1 looked like football has turned to wailing that Week 2 looked like a series of House, M.D. Complete with a limping main star.

Bryan: Considering it's football-related subplot, and a youth wasted watching the Hallmark Channel, I tend to run to M*A*S*H as my go-to injury-plagued metaphor du jour. Maybe the 49ers can transfer former star Oliver Jones from the 325th Evac Hospital to fill the void in the backfield. If not, I think I'm actually the next man up, if I'm reading my emergency practice squad rules correctly.
