Booch

they do....and asked why we dont use the Nationalized rule...and other things...I think Osh got word from above to start using it...especially with our injury issues

thats a whole lotta work! lol

well...I'd say he loks head and shoulders better than ZC right now....If we allowed Strevto play like Maas has the Faj playing....we would be a difficult offence if he is a threat to run if nothing there or protection breaks down...and not the run run run with minimal to no threat of a pass from pocket or a roll out

consider it done....and u know damn well I will have my opinion hahaha I as well think you lose more games...or have more a chance to lose with aged out players..who can't bring it every play and have eroding skills...a young guy who is athletic can sometimes overcome a brain fart with his athleticism...and also once he has learned a lesson...he can attack it different...when you just dont have it anymore...you just keep getting exploited good observation....dare we say Osh finally coming to his senses...or did someone step in and say "enough of yhour stubborn bias....You use the rule!" gaurantee it's on defence...unless they use big stan to allow Smith to come in and spell of BO without having to take out an import receiver

Nichols and Alford panned out pretty well....but I agree...could be some bumps along the way...I don't like that Ritchie analogy tho...Love Coach to death...but if you can play...you can play My concern is and still will be center....but one change at a time I guess..we have Smith on and hopefully Mitchell never to be seen back there again...Up next Center....then put the Thomas at 80% rep use out to pasture

I have a strange sense of optimistic vibes here...and a 3 phase win

Well...I will take this one on this week....Hope for some changes on how we manage a game...some positive roster moves...is this the start of a win streak?

That will be next yr..and onward

Coaches bias....plain and simple And some of Kolos calls are pretty clear wrong...and I sure Eli is more than capable in picking things up...especially after 3 yrs now. I don't use PPF as any means as a basis for an assessment of any player position...nor does any talent evaluation person..and he's not hurt or injured...he's basically stuck behind the offensive equivalent of Thomas...teachers pet...daddy's favorite...whatever you wanna call it. Kolo is technically awful...isn't good post anything but the initial block..and even then is continually over powered...and is undersized...and only time you like that in a center is when they are more athletic and able to move quicker...which he is not..Eli is probably our most athletic lineman we have buy you would never know it as he doesn't get to show it..but you can see it on jumbo and short yardage plays if you actually watch him

agree...Best we could have put out with who we have an injuries.....Tweak that oline....swap out Wilson if for anything to see what Johnson could do....and that could almost be optimal at this point

true....but if it's touch and go as it is....let the guy sit and heal that extra week...1 extra day in the grand scheme does nothing...why risk it

Pretty sure Eli can snap just fine..been doing it at a high level...forever Guys pegged to go in the top 2..3 rounds of NFL draft...possibly 1st as a center don't have snap issues

Killer one

I'll give him props...he looks to be "svelter" than last yr...

we definately will have some real solid pieces coming back...and wicked crazy depth....thats a given mock drafts are just dumb at best of times really....hard to predict what bone headed moves some G.M's will make...or how they percieve talent

or did it just seem like it cause we had a weak arsed squad? That whole draft....yikes....Took Poblah with the supplemental and lost our first rounder for it...then traded 2 second round picks to get 3rd over all pick and grabbed Tyson Pencer...and rounded out the draft with Johnny Aprile...Bilikudi..Rene Stephan and Jake...yikes

well...yeah they should always.....modern coache's also have no issue replacing a guy who is inferior as well....a professional team is always...well should always be ooking to get better regardless of position and vet status...you won't purge them all....but you can always cut bait on 1 or 2 mid stream

we not talking one bad game....and there no reason not to be old school either....pro sports is performanced based and worrying about hurt feelings gets you nowhere...and on path we headed....Thomas..Kolo...Biggie now....arguably BA....This isnt a one off...it's decline....and age.... again...more lunacy with roster...Kolo is undersized and gets mahnhandled too much as your anchor in the middle...listed at 6'1 but he not...as he basically same height as me...and I am 6 feet even I'd rather have a 6'4" 326 pound mauler in there...with athleticism...but whatev's...we can dare to dream

the gift that keeps on giving

in all 24 you can see right away if the center makes the right call just how the line comes out of stance and attacks their blocks....or...look like turnstyles due to wrong call

I think week 4 Eli was back at it...week 5?....none the less...was given the job as we had no other real center available...didnt win or earn anything....

Shouldn't even be in the equation...dress a guy who is ready to go, and usefull....typical Osh....let the dude rest and put Samson in the lineup...whom should have been in there before Hubert....Why dress a guy who may be limited at best...or get things tweaked and sit all game...or risk further injury?....just plain stupid and Osh just Oshin' as usual I do have my technical writing courses.... Got it cause Eli was injured....tho I believe it was more a case of him being out of football a yr and had to work back to football shape. I think we dressed Dobson as back-up and that putz who dressed a few games and didnt see the field Again...poor rostering as we had no real natural center as a backup....and the hits have just kept coming since then

Kolo was...this his 3rd yr now.....got a chance to come to camp after 2 yrs on street and nobody wanting him...Only got in due to injury....and Osh got this steamer for him and rest is history....and we now stuck with him at center like genital warts...

they should be tho...any player should be constantly looking over their shoulder.....thats the whiole part of complacency that has crept in....Earn and maintain your spot...or be left by way side....shouldnt matter who you are..Perform...or be replaced...cut and dried

when have we done that before tho...we usually just plop em in...with no game conditioning....so not sure what the purpose of this...and especially with BO...give him the extra week to get right......especially with Smith on roster now
