Booch

I figured it may not have from where he grabbed his leg..and fact he wasn't carted away on a meat wagon

We will def meet up at game

That's the key thing and mentioned here continuously for last few yrs...On dline and oline if you have a slug in the middle...it radiates out as a ripple effect and degrades the whole unit...and we at times last few yrs would trot out 2 slugs at same time in middle of the dline...and well....good luck having the ends do much of anything. We have seen and suffered thru that and saw the difference in just 1 game The fact it took so long to go away from the slugs is just sad....And thankfully it looks like lesson learned....as we would have bumped Korn onto roster last yr, and well....been back to the same uselessness. Fletcher got promoted...color me shocked but was the right move I was worried tho

could rival CGY when all guys healthy as one the best...looking forward to that again

yup...auditioning on the fly so to speak and by mid/last 3rd of season see who the go to main 3 will be, and have some serious solid depth who have played all yr...been clamouring for that for 2+ yrs....its a need to do thing curious to see how they use Fletcher...I assume same way as Dixon as both built to be outside and inside guys...If he shows real good...which I expect he will...Having both him and DIxon on roster would be huge, and WJ and Cersena will eat all yr...and Jenkins can be allowed to just focus on getting better and fine tune his attack the QB technique Thats why I also hope Elsbury is auditioning too right now and gainig reps and when Eli is ready and 100 percent he gets a few games and then we go with the best...cause that Import spot easily allows us to dress all of WJ..Ceresna..Jenkins..Dixon and Fletcher to go with lawson and Gatkouth...That would make us a way better team than removing one the DL guys for an imoort center who is ok...but not amazing That group of dlineman being able to be fresh all game and offer varied looks will terrorize opposing offences

Yeah I would suspect Smith should see a lot of the field now, and Shay as well getting some work. I think Kelly was taking Smiths reps in the first game as Smith was pulled in the 1st quarter...well I hope...even better yet it better been the reason And I agree we tend to over rotate guys outside of the dline and I think it some ways it actually hurst the flow...let the guys who are on point that game stay on point and really get into a cohesive crew.....and then sprinkle in some diff looks personel wise...for most part a lot of what we do is the same look...just different guys in the role and in all honesty it isnt fooling anyone...if anything the teams seem to attack where we stuck a weaker player But on the positive its given depth/rotation guys valuable game resp when the game still matters....so if we do get in an injury pinch we know who can play, and wont feel the need to rush in less than 100 percent guys cause we actually have experienced depth that we know can play...

good to hear Woodbey isn't a season ender...but a similar issues as to what took Biggie down a few years back...so hopefully all involved realize to let him totally heal up and not play as damaged goods like we did with Biggie and rendering him somewhat useless...Use thi opportunity while he gets 100 percent to get the youngsters in and valuable real game reps...not garbage time...will only strengthen our depth and roster

100 percent...it's pro sports and if you dont like getting feelings hurt or criticized, or you dont have the onions to make the decisions that might do that to someone you need to step away...I still think it's a issue of Osh and Walters being too good of chums. And yes this yr Walter's did his part... jury out on Osh somewhat for the moment.....I am somewhat positive so far tho with the fact he brought Fletcher on to roster to accommodate loss of Dixon for a bit instead of promoting Korn is a very good...and smart thing to see....

yeah If he gives sole responsibility to a co-ord....then he needs to step in and say...nope...Maybe Younger isnt a bright mind like many think tho if that the case...Bottom line tho coaches may say who/what they would "like"...The HC tho should be able to see the pro's and cons and make final decision accordingly...If the best talent isnt there....and you have possibly better already here....then why bother playing inferior..and if you don't have the talent then you best be all over the GM's arse and tell him to get some Part of prob here at times is everyone is too buddy biddy and scared to step on toes or possibly offend someone...not a good trait

for our first...with some guys playing their first time this spring really with no Pre-season work to mention, pretty encouraging for sure

HE WAS good as a rookie and showed serious potential...blew out his knee and post surgery just seems to have lost his closing ability and his big asset, which was his speed/quickness seems to have not come fully back and he is now forever in chase mode yup...he hasnt been the same since and has become the back end roster Canadian now....Ayola the global would prob offer just as much on teams now he back and if he picked up some seasoning and development in the NFL..which he musta being there for 2 yrs he had to have shown something...I'd put him in on that spot of roster as a teams demon and see what he does....and give him some rotation reps....u dont know what you got until you actually give a player a opportunity The perplexing part is the usage of Kelly who hasn't really made a play since his rookie yr on defense when you don't need to is just plain...well dumb If it Younger pushing for it Osh as the HC should have the plums to say..."sorry but we gonna use..Vaval...Smith...Shay"...whomever, and if it's Osh who made that call...Then we are again dealing with the same brain dead moves again and likely gonna have to suffer with it all yr until that player goes down with a season ender

Just for fun...visualize Kelly in coverage on Lawler...I dont give 2 effs how hard he tries and his attitude etc..good guy...to justify that lunacy

Looking like it...2 this yr now...that and the pointless 3rd canadian starting receiver..1 step forward with dline...2 steps back...smh

Guess this is this yrs osh pet gonna make it happen thing...with an unneeded canadian...inferior one doing it when u can use an American or a better canadian

yeah....No shocks so thats good

Gotta go Demski at home on a fade to the corner

Mcmanus being out another week would suit me just fine too

Yeah...I wanna see his jump at snap against starters...he is the quickest off snap that I saw so far this yr He is also usefull on ST chasing kicks so be a good replacement for Woodbey. I wonder if Dixon will miss a few...would suck but I think Fletcher if the replacement will make a strong case and force Osh to dress both when Dixon is back...Both can play inside and out and on teams...Actually forgot to mention Dixon obliterating a guy on one of Vavals returns

Or trying to deal with the Ceresna/WJ twists and loops....he gonna look even more turnstylish than he did here...If a guy flashes past him, or isnt dead in front...he's lost

i dont think they really look into much or research anything...just go off teams records at times...Or run with a comment made by a coach

I was hoping we were targeting him in FA

They really like Eli tho and what he does overall....and he likes it here and wont hold them over the coals SMS wise so I doubt they get rid of him for any reason...And I still think he takes over center....Overall team benefit/value it just makes sense and there wont be any major drop off...I liked we ran 2 TE sets with him and Danial's with both running out doing outs into the flats at the same time...Be interesting once we start using that I curious tho about Practice report/injury report today...if we get any and what we may do at linebacker.....Woodbey for sure is out and I know Smith went out after his big special teams hit and never came back to play, but stayed dresssed...likely precaution as he got his bell rung on the hit. If he is good to go I wonder if we replace Woodbey with another dline guy, or go the WR route? Also Hoping Dixon is OK as he was starting to get in a groove/rythm, but that being said if Fletcher can come on in early games...and make it too difficult to pull him then could easily see him and Dixon on roster. We dont need another LB on with Ayers...Wilson...Jones..griffin...Shay...SMith....and I thik the reason we saw so much Kelly is because he is the backup to Smith so was taking Smith's defensive reps

I curious about th we benching of Bell..even moreso than the Dru thing..I always thought Dru was too low key and not a real aggressive leader type...Maybe thats part of Dinnwitty reasoning...But man Maier is just the poster child for unspectacular adequacy..can't see him ever grabbing a team and dragging them anywhere to be honest

yeah...rust and not up to game speed from lack of playing until that game...I expect it to look a lot better Thursday...The one where Ayers got faked right out...Uncharacteristic and result of no reps..Same with the one Bryant goofed....on ZC big pass to Pokey on last drive..Bryant had key block to keep ZC clean and had his guy locked down We have seen it before...guys looking useless at times from way we run camp...No alarm bells for me yet...Other than we need to abolish the 3rd Canadian receiver as it does nothing for us
