This comment is for FRS/FRC practitioners. I've been rehabbing 2 different achilles injuries with patients, both a few months into care at this point. I'd like to share helpful tip for ankle dorsiflexion PAILs/RAILs.
As many of you have used before, for ankle rehab, I've been using the Ankle-Angle board for PAILs/RAILs dorsiflexion efforts. I stumbled into a helpful technique while using the angle board. It's simple, there are two hand slits cut into the sides of the angle board (I assume for carrying it). I use those two side hand holds and use them to better pull myself into the dorsiflexion stretch. These hand holds on the sides of the angle board are used to better lock and block the position for PAILs efforts. Pulling up on the hand holds while doing PAILs. In than the half kneeing (combat) position I've typically used, the heel will lift under high intensity PAILs for dorsiflexion. This technique eliminated any movement of the ankle/foot during PAILs. Hope this helps.
I remain positive given Rodger's (known) training strategy and progress thus far, but bearish on the Jet's ability to win enough games to get them to the playoffs

Agreed - the Jets are definitely not holding up their end of the bargain.
