BBlink Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 If there's any game that Ryan Smith needs to step up, it's this one... We don't have much for weapons behind those 3 American receivers and our running game (which we will have to rely on again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The makeup of our roster does not support dressing a backup American receiver. Medlock - obviously Heath - dime back in several packages, very important beyond an injury replacement and benching him would leave us with inadequate options in the secondary if an injury occurred Martin - rotational player on the line - this team has been using a 4 man rotation at DE all year, it's instilled in our guys - how do you adjust now? Especially with keeping those guys fresh being of utmost importance against such a solid OL. Knox - this would be the one that you could maybe argue, but he's one of our best special teams guys on cover teams and again, he's a backup to Bass (who is already nicked) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's fully capable of taking over for Bass if he were to go down. Not one of those Designated imports is being used for the offensive side of the ball, we surely don't want to see Richards, JFG and Kohlert all on the field at once.

Tracker Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 I see this as a make or break for Bass at MLB. Our D-line is good enough to occupy the Stamps' blockers, so it will probably come down to Messam vs Bass, mano-a-mano. Messam is big enough to dismember our d-backs in collisions if he gets much past the line of scrimmage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messam is big enough to dismember our d-backs in collisions if he gets much past the line of scrimmage. It would have been a good opportunity to give Knox a trial at MLB to see if he can handle Messam, switching Bass to WIL. Perhaps we'll see some of that formation tomorrow.

BigBlueFanatic Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Bass is more than physical enough to stop Messam - anyone recall how he put the ol' pile driver on him in their last loss to Calgary? The question is will he stay in position to make stops consistently or will he get wiped out by the Stamps run scheme and allow big run gains.

One play is not necessarily the best indicator of how well Bass can compensate for the size/weight differential. Bass is giving away about 50 lbs (22kg) to Messam and that adds up.

ddanger Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 I want to see Lofler break down on Messam and make him regret coming through the line. Watch out for the safety! Fred C Dobbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomic Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 I think the weight difference is more like 20-25 pounds.... 250 for Messam vs 225 for Bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
