August 19, 20169 yr Johny Adams is off of the 6 game and Macho and Randle should be coming off the list soon too. The backfield have been doing well without them.Would you insert any of these guys into the line-up? If so who gets replaced?
August 19, 20169 yr you don't find spots for anyone until they earn it back. The days of the country club at Canad Inns need to be over.

I think Randle gets his spot back without any further "earning." I figure Roberts is the first one to get pushed out of the starting lineup , Adams will need to work his way back in.

Maybe so, but Randle may be one of the best players on the team. Either side of the ball. He gets a starters job back, no questions asked. Same thing you'll see at REC. First one back of Adams, Dressler and Smith will immediately be inserted back, IMO.
August 19, 20169 yr Randle > Roberts Loffler > Macho Adams played great last year. Frederick has played great this year. Personally, I'd want them both on the roster and reduce the LB DI's by one.
August 19, 20169 yr Author Even if Macho is healthy keep him on the 6 week dl. We need the cap relief because chance are good Nichols reaches his bonuses. That gives the coaches more time to evaluate Lofler...I dont care how good he looks 2 games is not enough of a look...remember Shabaz? I don't know how you keep Randle or Adams out of the line up or who they replace. It is a good problem to have for once. Thank you Walters and the scouting staff.

Loffler has more than proven himself IMO, Randle i agree is an upgrade over Roberts at this point but Roberts has shown promise. Dress, Adams and Smith will all be back. My point is that i feel like things have been handed to incumbents way too easily on this team in the past, the fact that we've dipped into free agency this year clearly points out that the days of "He's good enough" are over.

August 19, 20169 yr Randle 100% goes back in. We need his huge hits to set the tone. We've been very susceptible to quick outs that somehow turn into huge plays, he should shore that up quickly. Roberts has been serviceable, but his pick six against Hamilton was a gift from Masoli. It wasn't a Fogg or Leggett level catch. I'd probably take Adams over Frederick for now as well, but only so that Frederick has even more time to develop. They're both pretty close though and certainly a good problem to have.

Dress, Adams and Smith will all be back. pretty sure the hitting has picked up since Loffler started playing. Not saying it's all him. Edited August 19, 20169 yr by Mark F deleted bad pun
August 19, 20169 yr Pretty sure Loffler has to play because 3 Americans on the Oline Let's just... Goossen Chungh Kohlert A Harris Westerman Shologan Yup. Loffler for sure cuz starting Hurl isn't a good idea. Playing JFG over an American receiver isn't a good idea. Neufeld is 6 gamed I believe No other real option. Loffler stays at safety Randle will take Roberts spot Adams or Frederick? Rotate them both Receivers? Dressler will be back and then Smith. Adams is probably long term. Dressler Smith Denmark Davis Kohlert Dressler takes K Adams spot. Smith prob takes Mayo spot

It may not be all him but in the past hard hitting safeties set a tone for the defence. I think it fires up the db's as a group, gives them an extra hop in their step and boosts the confidence but then I am being kind of old school here.

August 19, 20169 yr Randle is back in the starting lineup the instant he's healthy... there should never be a debate about that... who comes out? Obviously Frederick or Roberts... I'll leave that decision up to the coaching staff

August 19, 20169 yr Johnny Adams is an all star DB. If you don't play him when he's healthy then you should trade him. Sitting him is crazy talk.
August 19, 20169 yr Not sure if Posey is really injured or not but he doesn't seem to have much of a future beyond PR, same goes for Roberts at this point even though he has looked decent. A decision will have to be made in the LB group between Burnett and Knox at some point as well. Can't keep everybody, shuffle, shuffle.
August 19, 20169 yr Frederick is looking like Rod Hill out there. Sitting him down feels crazy. Given the way things have gone so far, the injury bug will answer the cornerback question for us. Edited August 19, 20169 yr by johnzo
