Anatomy of a Divisional Round Win: Buccaneers need to eliminate Devin Whites reverse gear – Yahoo Sports

If you want to play linebacker in the modern NFL, youd better be versatile. The days of the Mike Singletary-style backer who stayed in the middle and just crashed forward to stop the run are over in an era when teams on average play base defense less than 20% of the time, and dime defense more than 20% of the time. Now, the best linebackers can do everything from blowing up run fits to playing the slot credibly to rushing the passer from multiple gaps. Anything less that, and youre a liability and that will show up in your snap counts.

That said, there are times when even the best linebackers should have their roles reduced from a variety perspective. Devin White, the second-year star for the Buccaneers, has the most sacks among off-the-ball backers with nine, the second-most total pressures with 31, the fifth-most stops with 56, and the ninth-most tackles with 95.

(Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports)

Thats the good side. The bad side? Per Pro Football Focus, White has the most targets in coverage among off-ball backers with 98, and hes allowed the most catches (86) for the most receiving yards (761), the second-most yards after catch (410), the second-most touchdowns allowed (four, tied with several other linebackers), and an opponent passer rating of 112.6. If White has an absolute dominant trait to his game, its his knack for creating quarterback pressure. If theres an obvious liability, its Whites ability to hold up in coverage. That may change over time given Whites eagerness to improve, game intelligence, and physical gifts, but we are where we are with this.

Devin White: Forward, not backward.

It matters very specifically when it comes to the Buccaneers' opportunities to beat the Saints in the divisional round. New Orleans swept the regular-season series, and in those games, White allowed 15 catches on 17 targets for 108 yards, 65 yards after the catch, two touchdowns, and no interceptions. Conversely, White had no quarterback pressures of any kind in either game -- no sacks, no quarterback hits, no quarterback hurries. Zip, nada, bupkis. This is as antithetical to a player's skill set as you'll see, and if the Bucs want to get off the schneid, this had better change. In those two games, Drew Brees was pressured on just 20 of his 65 dropbacks. He was sacked twice, but he also completed nine of 17 passes for 79 yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions, and a passer rating of 104.8. Part of the reason for this is the Saints' quick game. Brees has averaged 2.47 seconds per attempt from snap to throw this season, which is eighth-quickest among quarterbacks who have taken at least 50% of their teams' snaps. Brees also has 18 touchdowns and one interception on throws he gets off in less than 2.5 seconds, per PFF, as opposed to eight touchdowns and five interceptions on throws that take more than 2.5 seconds. If you let Brees control the time, you're dead. If you force him to prolong plays with pressure and coverage, you've got a shot. It's as simple as that. White could (and should) be the key to forcing Brees to make bad decisions under pressure, as opposed to making Brees' eyes light up when he's in coverage.

Story continues

The best game plan against Drew Brees? It's obvious.

White missed the regular-season finale and the Bucs' wild-card win over Washington after he was placed on the Reserve/COVID list, but he's back just in time for this game, and head coach Bruce Arians is rather excited about that. "First, let me say how [well] Kevin Minter played in those two ballgames," Arians said this week. "He was outstanding [and] did a great job. But he's not Devin. Bringing Devin's passion, his energy [and] his speed hopefully, he can get after the quarterback some like he's been doing so well. You're bringing back one of the top players in the league." Arians was also asked about how White can affect New Orleans' offense with pressure -- as he most certainly did not in Week 1 and Week 9. "You would hope so. But again, the ball comes out of [Drew Brees'] hand so quickly it's hard. You can get your hands up and maybe bat some balls around, but I thought the Bears did a really good job [in the wild-card round] of containing him other than that first drive where they played all that zone. They've got so many weapons and he knows where that ball is going by the time that back foot hits, so if you're going to get to him, you better get in there free." This quote tells you a couple things -- you're probably going to see one of those Todd Bowles game plans in which the Bucs marry multiple fronts and aggressive coverages as opposed to a bunch of static fronts and spot-drop nonsense, and we've already discussed that. https://touchdownwire.usatoday.com/2021/01/07/anatomy-of-a-wild-card-win-buccaneers-defense-must-return-to-the-aaron-rodgers-plan/ The second thing Arians' quote tells you is that the Bucs are rightly concerned about Brees' ability to get the ball out quickly and thus negate the pass rush. That doesn't mean you have to take White out of the pass-rush plan and sentence him to a three-hour purgatory of bad coverage. On the contrary -- White is uniquely suited among players at his position to provide quick-game pressure in the pocket, and to track down mobile quarterbacks when they're forced to move. Brees obviously fits both categories.

White's multiplicity as a pass-rusher can change any game. Anything else is a mistake.

White had three sacks in two different games this season -- in Week 7 against the Raiders, and in Week 15 against the Falcons. Those games also reveal a lot about how versatile White is as a pass-rusher, and why this should be his primary responsibility against the Saints. Worried about Brees and the quick game? How about having White cheat up pre-snap and then delaying a blitz to stop a pass from a short drop, as he did here against Matt Ryan? And here, White becomes a gap-spinner from the second level, finding the open gap as a running back would, much to Mr. Ryan's consternation. And if Brees wants to get frisky outside the pocket -- or if Taysom Hill is running to the outside -- White has the diagnostic ability and catchup speed to make that a problem. Here, he chases Derek Carr down from deep coverage and makes an impressive hit to end the play. https://twitter.com/BryanDFischer/status/1320500486416416768 White can also win off the edge, as he showed in this Week 6 sack of Aaron Rodgers. Its a bear front concept with White and Lavonte David as the edge defenders, and Shaquil Barrett, whos normally an edge-rusher, working in the middle linebacker spot. At the snap, both White and David take off for the quarterback. Left tackle David Bakhtiari and left guard Elgton Jenkins double right defensive end Ndamukong Suh, running back Jamaal Williams whiffs on the cross-block of David, and David gets to Rodgers just before Barrett can. After the play, Rodgers can be seen yelling at everyone unfortunate enough to be in his general vicinity. So, White has demonstrated the ability to get after the quarterback from just about anywhere. It's time for the Buccaneers to let him unleash it against the Saints. We always knew he was a great blitzer, Arians said after the Raiders game, per Luke Easterling of Bucs Wire. They [White and Lavonte David] both are. Thats the beauty of it, when he comes up the middle, he is a force. If we can get him on the back or they run twists so well together too. So, I mean hes a dynamic player. Both of them with such speed that has made them ridiculous in the pass rush game. White, for his part, is more than ready to take on whatever role he's given. "I think we've got to let our guys just be [themselves]," he said on Wednesday, when asked how the Bucs can limit Brees' ability to extend plays. "We can't overdo anything and we can't get out of our means. We've got [edge-rushers] Jason Pierre-Paul and we've got Shaq [Barrett], so we've got to let those guys get after him because that's what they do [and] that's what we pay them to do. We need to let them do it. "We've got to stay sound in the front with our two tackles without letting them push the pocket and let the outside guys do what they've got to do. I think the thing that [can] throw Drew Brees of is we've just got to be physical with the receivers, tight ends and the running backs. Don't let them play pitch and catch I think that will be the biggest 'it factor' for us. If we come out physical and we get our hands on those guys, I think we'll do a great job." Well, yes, but if the Buccaneers fail to avail themselves of the NFL's best pass-rushing off-ball linebacker doing what he does best, it may be the last game plan they get to draw up this season.

The Anatomy Of A Change Order Clause In A Construction Contract – JD Supra

Change orders can quickly become a source of contention on construction projects and are often the subject of major disputes. As a result, it is important for stakeholders to carefully draft and negotiate the change order and related provisions pre-contract.

The key portions in a change order clause beyond the obvious (i.e. changes have to be in writing) include the following:

Considering these elements on the front end of drafting and negotiating the change order provision can help to avoid disputes in construction projects.

Anatomy of a blackmailer – The News International

The 10 Hazara coal miners have finally been laid to rest. Their bodies carried many burdens, surely overwhelmed by the baggage of history, economic vulnerability, neglect and ostracisation. In their last moments above ground as they lay in the cold winter of Machh, collectively mourned by the Hazara community, they carried their last burden of being called pawns.

In response to the plea of the families of the slain victims, Prime Minister Imran Khan asserted that he will not be blackmailed into visiting the site unless and he demanded they bury their dead. And who better than Imran Khan would know that when the odds are against the opposing party, and you possess the power to deprive them of an option and coerce a decision based on your desires, youre the one calling the shots.

So did the Hazaras blackmail the prime minister?

The act of blackmail is rooted in a power relationship where the balance is tipped in favour of the perpetrator. The perpetrator influences the victims behaviour in a manner that clashes with the latters rationality, expectations and preferences. The victims inability to make their own decisions interferes with their autonomy and freedom of action. The threat of punishment in the absence of compliance deprives the victim of a choice and adds to the abuse of power. The most important test of blackmail, however, is to decipher whether the perpetrator engenders a relationship of dominance and subordination through the act of blackmailing.

Hazaras have historically been victims of persecution and sectarian violence. Unlike other Shia communities, they are easily identifiable due to their distinct facial features that make them susceptible to attacks. Before the 19th century, they were the largest ethnic group in Afghanistan, constituting around 67 percent of the total population.

During the reign of Abdur Rahman Khan in 1893, more than half were massacred and fled from Hazarajat to the Jowzjan and Badghis provinces, while others were displaced and shipped to Khorasan in Iran, and Balochistan in British India. However, this did not put an end to their suffering. Hazaras have since sought refuge from militant groups in many countries with great risks to their lives. Many have drowned over the years on their way to faraway Australia, inching towards the possibility of a better life.

Most Hazaras in Pakistan live in Quetta, many of whom reside in two highly guarded neighbourhoods on either end of the city, Alamdar Road and Hazara Town. There are two main routes in and out of Hazara Town, one of which Kirani Road is considered dangerous for Hazaras to travel on. On the other hand, Spini road, which has seen over 12 targeted attacks against the Hazara community, is considered a safe route by the government.

Hazaras have restricted access to healthcare and educational facilities as they are situated outside these enclaves. Perpetual dread and the looming security situation restrict Hazara public life to these barracks where they are reminded of their eviction and the precariousness of life with security checkpoints, paramilitary troops and high walls on full display.

Restricted mobility, anticipation of danger, social isolation and limited opportunities are at the centre of the Hazara experience. Insufficient education and employment opportunities in tandem with generational poverty, as a consequence of Hazara communities migrating and fleeing persecution, has set the seal on their economic depravity. These factors have pushed Hazaras to opt for dangerous jobs like coal mining and other menial labour jobs like road construction. Their involvement in unskilled labour has further propelled their stigmatisation.

Disapproving the Hazara plea as blackmail is akin to disregarding their generational pain and persecution, and accusing them of power they do not possess. Even as they sat powerless next to their dead, their dehumanisation was cemented as their only bargaining chip was their dead and their bargain was life in return. The communitys subordinate position in Pakistans national makeup is evident from the fact that where most leaders would offer grace and dignity to a community having witnessed such tragedy, the Hazaras stood accused and had to succumb to the demands and ego of the representatives of the people of Pakistan.

The act of blackmail produces a relationship where power, coercion and autonomy rest with the perpetrator, while the victim is deprived of their freedom of action. Let us not mistake the plea of the Hazaras for an act they dont have the social, economic and political capital to orchestrate. Let us be kind and considerate with our words, and be mindful of the burden they carry.

Patrick Dempsey says his ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ return honors frontline workers ‘who are out there taking care of us’ amid COVID-19 – Yahoo Entertainment

Patrick Dempsey (Photo: JOEL SAGET/AFP via Getty Images)

In a time of uncertainty, its nice to see a familiar face, even if its when you turn on the TV and Patrick Dempsey has been just that to many.

The actors surprise guest return to Greys Anatomy was a spectacular treat for viewers who, during his original 11-season run, felt a sense of calm looking in Dr. Derek Shepherds reassuring eyes. And that is just one of many projects he has going on during this unpredictable time.

First things first, yes, there will be more McGhost to come when the ABC medical drama returns March 4 with Dempsey telling Yahoo Entertainment, Theres definitely more to air, with two of his four episodes airing so far, but Im done with my part of the shooting, the production side.

Asked if hes happy with how it turned out, he says he accomplished what he set out to do when he agreed to return, which has reunited his late character, who had been killed off in 2015, with his COVID-19 stricken wife Dr. Meredith Grey (played by Ellen Pompeo).

You know what Im really happy about, and we have to constantly remember, is all of the men and women who are in the hospitals and the responders are going through a hell of a journey right now, says Dempsey as the countrys COVID-19 cases soar, especially in California and its Los Angeles County, where Greys shoots. We need to remember their sacrifice and their commitment and keep that in mind. I think that was the intention moving forward. How can we honor the people who are out there taking care of us and our family members? That was the good intention that brought us back with that messaging. I think thats important. Wear your mask and be careful out there. Take care of each other.

Dempsey has been acting in Hollywood since he was a teen, but its an unprecedented time working with all the COVID protocols. When we talk, hes just arrived on the East Coast from California and is quarantining ahead of shooting the CBS political drama pilot Ways & Means.

Story continues

His 55th birthday was Jan. 13 and he had no plans, explaining, Im sort of in isolation for the next few days in order to be safe to go back to work. So I will use that time to reflect and to be grateful and assess all the things I have to be grateful for. Though he adds, I dont particularly like getting any older, with a laugh. It is what it is.

Ways & Means comes at an especially interesting time with Washington, D.C., and U.S. politics in chaos. He plays a disillusioned congressional leader who forms a secret alliance with a congresswoman from the opposing party, played by Pretty Little Liarss Troian Bellisario, in hopes of saving U.S. politics.

Yeah, theres a lot of volatility in the world and a great opportunity for us, he says of the role. Things are changing so quickly were having to adapt. So we are in pre-production at the moment and trying to stay ahead of all the events and well see what we come up with. Its exciting certainly and scary at the same time.

When hes done with the pilot, hes off to Rome in February to make Season 2 of Devils, an Italian drama about the finance world, which was acquired by The CW and aired in the fall. Theres also talk of possibly fitting Enchanted 2 in this year, he says of the Disney flick that paired him with Amy Adams in the original. He already has the script for the sequel, to be called Disenchanted, which is looking at shooting in the spring.

Theres a lot of work. Im very grateful for that, Dempsey says.

A side project amid all this is being the new face of Poland Springs Origin line. The longtime New England spring water brand, now going national with the line that boasts bottles made from 100 percent recycled plastic, is known for being born in Maine and so was Dempsey. He happily returned to his home state, where he owns a home and his Dempsey Center, the non-profit that assists in treating cancer patients, is based, to shoot the commercial in mid-November. It sees him in his natural element amid the green and gorgeous pines.

Dempsey says he goes back to the state once a month usually anyway for the work with the center. So I spend a lot of time [there] and I appreciate it. The older I get, the more and more I appreciate the great state of Maine. So making the commercial there was a treat, even though it wasnt necessarily easy due to COVID.

They shot in Northern Maine and despite a wind chill factor of 17 degrees and it starting to snow, It was nice to be outside, he says. A lot of people had been cooped up in the city and they got a chance to be outside to work. For them, it was really quite inspiring. At the same time, its been very challenging because you are having to commit to the procedures. So having a mask on, a face screen. Its incredibly challenging for the crew and the actors are vulnerable without a mask or any of that on. It takes a lot longer to do things. Its a lot harder to do things. But at the same time were finding ways to move forward in a safe way for the crew and for the actors.

As for how his own family he and his makeup artist wife Jillian Dempsey are parents to daughter Talula, 18, and twin sons Darby and Sullivan, 13 has been navigating this time, he says not that different than everyone else.

Like every family, I think people are struggling with Zoom school and dealing with that, he says. Its [supposed to be] a social period for teenagers and thats part of their development. Its my daughters first year in college. Everyone is struggling and trying to do the best they can and hopefully going into this new year well have better leadership going forward.

In Vitro Assessment of Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Anatomy and Valve Orientation Effects on Bioprosthetic Pulmonary Valve Hemodynamics – DocWire…

This article was originally published here

Cardiovasc Eng Technol. 2021 Jan 15. doi: 10.1007/s13239-020-00507-6. Online ahead of print.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: The congenital heart defect Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) affects 1 in 2500 newborns annually in the US and typically requires surgical repair of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) early in life, with variations in surgical technique leading to large disparities in RVOT anatomy among patients. Subsequently, often in adolescence or early adulthood, patients usually require surgical placement of a xenograft or allograft pulmonary valve prosthesis. Valve longevity is highly variable for reasons that remain poorly understood.

METHODS: This work aims to assess the performance of bioprosthetic pulmonary valves in vitro using two 3D printed geometries: an idealized case based on healthy subjects aged 11 to 13 years and a diseased case with a 150% dilation in vessel diameter downstream of the valve. Each geometry was studied with two valve orientations: one with a valve leaflet opening posterior, which is the native pulmonary valve position, and one with a valve leaflet opening anterior.

RESULTS: Full three-dimensional, three-component, phase-averaged velocity fields were obtained in the physiological models using 4D flow MRI. Flow features, particularly vortex formation and reversed flow regions, differed significantly between the RVOT geometries and valve orientations. Pronounced asymmetry in streamwise velocity was present in all cases, while the diseased geometry produced additional asymmetry in radial flows. Quantitative integral metrics demonstrated increased secondary flow strength and recirculation in the rotated orientation for the diseased geometry.

CONCLUSIONS: The compound effects of geometry and orientation on bioprosthetic valve hemodynamics illustrated in this study could have a crucial impact on long-term valve performance.

Former Greys Anatomy actress Katherine Heigl is set to star in a horror movie soon! We tell you everything!

>

Katherine Heigl, former Greys Anatomy actress showing in a horror movie! MCE TV shows you everything.

It was discovered in the famous medical series Greys Anatomy. Indeed, Katherine Heigl embodied la jolie Izzie Stevens in the series of Shonda Rhimes.

The actress was part of the casting team of the series from its inception. She did indeed arrive with the first wave of the internet at Seattle Grace Hospital.

But the actress will eventually leave the series in 2010, during season 6 of the series. His departure then shocked fans of Greys Anatomy.

We will learn later that her departure was due to the bad relationship she had with the creator of the series, Shonda Rhimes. Indeed, Katherine Heigl had refused his award at the Emmy Awards because she felt that her role did not deserve it.

Something that the director obviously did not appreciate much. With the power to decide who can continue the Greys Anatomy adventure, Shonda Rhimes made the choice to let her go.

Since then, the young woman has appeared in several films. So we think of films The Abominable Truth released in 2009 or Kiss & Kill released in 2010.

She was also featured in several comedies such as Baby manual released in 2010 or 27 more dresses released two years earlier.

But his filmography still seems very varied. Indeed, she has already acted in horror films, including the famous film The Bride of Chucky. This year, it will be showing of a new horror movie!

Katherine Heigl returns to our screens with a new movie called Fear the Rain. This is a psychological thriller.

The pretty blonde will also share the screen with the actress de Jumanji Madison Iseman. Eh yes. The singer, actor and former jury of the American Idol show is also part of the cast of this new film.

In this feature film, the pretty blonde will play the role of Michelle. The latter is the wife of John, played by Connick Jr.

The two spouses also have a daughter, a young adolescent named Rain Burroughs. It is also the actress Madison Iseman who plays the role of the young girl.

The latter is schizophrenic. She therefore suffers from hallucinations on a daily basis. Eh yes. Rain then begins to hear voices coming from the next house.

She is then convinced that a little girl is held captive and that she cries for help. Rain tells his parents about it, but the latter do not believe her.

She then decides to find the truth with the help of her friend Caleb, since he is the only one who seems to believe her. But is Caleb really real? Where is it the fruit of the imagination the girl. That is the question !

Fear of Rain with Katherine Heigl will be available on February 12 in the United States. No release date has yet been specified for European countries. Case to be continued.

‘Grey’s Anatomy’: Kim Raver Was So Embarrassed She Asked To ‘Get Under the Table’ During the Table Read in Season 17 – Showbiz Cheat Sheet

WhileGreys Anatomywas on winter break, Kim Raver and the rest of the cast got together for a live reunion onStars in the House. During the live question and answer session, the actor who portrays Teddy admitted she was so embarrassed by her lines in season 17 she asked to get under the table.

Ravers character, Teddy Altman, was cheating on Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd) onGreys Anatomy. However, she still planned to marry Owen. On the day of her wedding, she had sex with Tom Koracick (Greg Germann) one last time but told him that things were over. Little did she know, her phone recorded the entire thing in a call to Owen, played in the operating room where he was working.

I know the fans are so upset about it, Raver toldStars in the House. Im upset about it too, but its peeling back the onion of who we are.

Although Raver is not happy about the storyline, she knows that healing will come from her mistakes.

I think this is the quintessentialGreys,showing the complexity of human beings, Raver added. Its not perfect people doing perfect things all the time. For me, its that we are flawed. She has stepped into a really bad cycle in her life and whats going to be amazing is how she reaches out to the other people in the hospital for her healing.

Before the actors filmGreys Anatomy, they get together for a table read of the episode. As a seasoned actor, Raver is accustomed to this part of the process. However, there was one moment in season 17 she did not want to read.

At the table read, I was like, can I get under the table? Raver told the outlet. I had to make those noises over and over again.

As if reading the lines, making sex sounds, wasnt mortifying enough, Raver described another moment that was worse.

They have speakers everywhere, she added. They do playback, and they didnt gauge the sound, and there were like 500 of me or of Teddy having that moment.

The actor described it as one of the most embarrassing moments of her career.

During the cast reunion, one fan asked whether or not Teddy and Owen will get back together.

Teddy and Owen have been through so so much, McKidd responded. Owen has not been a saint, so people in glass houses, ya know. Owen is really hurt, and I think they are going to be fine. I think there is going to be some healing going on.

Greys Anatomyfans have followed Teddy and Owens story since season 5, and they know how much the best friends have been through.

They have been through war together, so they can get through this, McKidd added.

‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Season 17: Are Owen and Teddy Still Together? Kevin McKidd and Kim Raver Still Have Hope for the Relationship – Showbiz Cheat Sheet

Greys Anatomy Season 17 just went on winter hiatus, and fans cant stop thinking about Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd) and Teddy Altmans (Kim Raver) rollercoaster romance. After Owen found out about the affair with Tom Koracick (Greg Germann), Teddy revealed why she really named their daughter Allison. Now, it looks like Owen has had enough. But even so, both McKidd and Raver still think theres hope for the relationship heres why.

RELATED: Greys Anatomy Season 17: Patrick Dempsey Promises Derek Shepherd Will Return in 2021

In the Greys Anatomy Season 16 finale, Owen caught Teddy sleeping with Tom ahead of their wedding. The cheating couple accidentally left Owen a voicemail of their hookup. Nevertheless, Teddy made it clear to Tom she was still choosing Owen.

Finally, Owen confronted Teddy about the affair in Greys Anatomy Season 17. Then in the last episode of the year, Richard Webber (James Picken Jr.) told Teddy what she needed to hear so she wouldnt continue making the same mistakes. So she opened up to Owen about her relationship with Allison Robin Brown (Sherri Saum), revealing she was in love with her best friend.

While Teddy delved into her past, she was unable to understand why Allison was connected to her relationship with Owen. So the conversation left Owen and viewers a little confused and frustrated.

Ever since our wedding day, I tried to piece it together. Our history, searching for when you changed and became someone that was capable of doing things that I couldnt understand, Owen told Teddy. It turns out that you didnt change. Turns out I just never really knew you.

While Owen stormed out of his conversation with Teddy in Greys Anatomy Season 17 Episode 6, McKidd still believes the relationship can be mended. When speaking with Seth Rudetsky and James Wesley on the Jan. 14 episode of Stars In The House, the hosts asked whether he still had hope for the couple moving forward. Then McKidd responded, Yeah, I do.

Teddy and Owen have been through so much, the actor continued. And listen, Owen has not been a saint lets be honest over the years. Look at his track record for a minute. But yeah, Owens really hurt.

That said, McKidd acknowledged that Teddy and Owen will need to work on a few things before moving on. But ultimately, he thinks the two surgeons can make it through this rough patch, considering everything theyve been through in the past.

I think theyre gonna be fine, McKidd said. I mean, I think theres going to be some healing going on, and theres going to be some conversation. But I think Owen and Teddy have been through war together, [so] they can get through this. I hope. But who knows?

For the most part, it seems Raver is on the same page as McKidd. Still speaking with Rudetsky and Wesley on Stars In The House, Raver admitted shes just as upset with Teddy as most Greys Anatomy fans. But she hopes to see her character heal when the Shondaland series returns after the break.

I know she is really messing up right now! I agree. But were human, Raver said. Thats what [creator Shonda Rhimes] has always shown our dark side. And hopefully, we will show her healing!

The actor later added, [Teddys] really stepped into a bad cycle in her life. Whats going to be amazing is how she reaches out to the other people in the hospital for her healing.

No matter what Greys Anatomy Season 17 has in store for Teddy and Owen, at least McKidd and Raver think their characters will be just fine. But in an interview with Entertainment Tonight from December 2020, executive producer Meg Marinis hinted at whats to come and the couples journey will not be easy.

They still have a very messy road ahead of them, Marinis said.

Greys Anatomy Season 17 is expected to return on March 4, 2021.

Greys Anatomyfans never forget the horrific plane crash in season 8 that resulted in Lexie Grey (Chyler Leigh) and Mark Sloans (Eric Dane) deaths. Although it didnt happen immediately, Arizona Robbins (Jessica Capshaw) lost her leg because of the accident.

From season 9 through season 14, when Capshaw left the series, Arizona had a prosthetic leg. Oddly enough, the actor only had to wear it one time in the 141 episodes that her character had it on.

After the plane crash in season 8,Arizonadeveloped a life-threatening infection in her leg. She was adamantly against the surgeons amputating her leg. However, when her condition worsened, Callie had to choose between saving Arizonas life or cutting off her leg. After surgery, it took Arizona a very long time to come to terms with the loss of her leg.

In season 9, episode 4, she finally agreed to go to the hospital to get fitted for a prosthetic leg. TheGreys Anatomyteam hiredA Step Ahead Prostheticsto create the realistic-looking, high-heeled transfemoral prosthesis for Arizona.

The medical lab designed and built a special prop leg with a harness for a non-amputee. It was built from a cast of Capshaws upper thigh, and the technicians used real prosthetic components to make it. The prop was covered with a silicone skin color matching Capshaws skin tones. Although the doctor fits Arizona for the leg in episode 4, she did not use the specialized prop until episode 18.

In a recentGreys Anatomyreunion on Stars in the House, Capshaw made a guest appearance. The hosts asked her the same question that many fans have asked, What was it like filming with a prosthetic leg? Her response was surprising.

So, this was a common question, Capshaw began. What was confusing was that I wasnt actually filming with a prosthetic. We only shot with a prosthetic when we shot Arizona without her pants on. I didnt film with a prosthetic very much.

Throughout the six seasons, there were only a handful of times where fans saw Capshaws prosthetic leg. Most of the time, she wasnt wearing it.

It was a green screen, she added. It was a lot of CGI. I filmed with a prosthetic once. I tied my leg behind my back and then tied a prosthetic leg on.

During the reunion show, Camilla Luddington discussed the future storyline of her character, Jo Wilson. The surgeon is thinking about switching fields into pediatrics.

Its already been teased, Luddington told the panel. But shes thinking about changing to being an OB. So thats going to be a pretty big storyline for her. Im ready for my pink scrubs. And maybe Capshaw can come back.

Youre never ready for the pink scrubs! Capshaw replied.

The actor didnt indicate whether she would come back to the show, but fans hoped she does. It would be the perfect storyline for her to make a guest appearance.

Greys AnatomySeason 17 returns on March 4, 2021, at 9 p.m. EST.
