Time to rebound after the loss and with guys like Leggett, Lefrance, and Wild coming off the 1-game we're going to be in even better shape for this game.  Streveler was great in game 1 and I am now eager to see him run out onto the field and get it done in week 2.

 

I also think our defense is going to have a better showing this game knowing Willy and his holding onto the ball too long habit.  I know BC's defensive line is probably better than ours, but Willy was giving them sacks on a silver platter all game and he's likely going to give us some too in this game.  Not at all elusive like Reilly.

 

I'm going to bet that if the Als offense sputters like it did in the second quarter and beyond against BC that we'll be seeing the Als march out Matt Schiltz or Jeff Matthews during this game.

4 fumbles in 4 years. He isnt the best at catching em clean not doubt, but thats a premium these days sadly. Not many return men seem to get the importance of just catching each punt in the air.

fogg ended up the guy because after mcduffies time here he went to the nfl. We dressed both and had them both return both duties at several points for the partial year they were together. 

3 lost fumbles in 2016.  He only played 1 game in each of his first 2 seasons with Hamilton (and didn't see the field in one of them) and 6 last year, so 4 lost fumbles in 21 games.  That's pretty brutal.

Fogg was one of the best punt returners in 2016 he had the highest average no TDS but had 3 or 4 called back.

Ya he still is one of the best, not the fastest but pretty smart.

I am holding out hope that the powers that be are just trying to shake things up and give some fresh meat a chance returning kicks.

I could see Demski handling K.R. along with Fogg but I think that would be a great risk to his health.

I'm happy to see Augustine still hanging around and getting coached up, but Lankford, meh. If our scouts cannot do better than Lankford, they ought to voluntarily take a pay cut.

I can’t answer for D or D, but my feature, In Case You Missed It will be on hiatus for a bit while I go on the 6 game IR. It’s a bit of a process to put together that bit and I’m fighting some health issues at this time. I’ll be checking in daily with some minor stuff..and I hope that works out.

Get well, man. Just remember the season is a marathon not a race.

I want to pre-thank any other well wishers and I’ll keep plugging on, but let’s keep this thread going. It’s going to be a good one.

Good luck Mr. Dee!

Hopefully you're like Nichols and is back sooner rather than later.

 

Lankford moved to PR they say. 

Not a bad idea....before injury, Moe has been dangerous with the ball in his hands

I like this, but I also don't like it.  Moe is obviously good with the ball in his hands, and has had some nice missed field goal returns, but man I hope his Achilles is better than ever...  Really want him back on the D.

Moe will be a DI I suppose. He will do a little bit of everything, subbing on D at either HB or SAM and doing some returns on ST. 

They'll probably not give him a lot of snaps but enough to get him to game speed quickly. 

I feel like Lankford being moved to the PR is an overlooked roster move of the week.

I for one didn't think they would do it. Osh and his staff always have seemed to love Lankford, and he has never fully lived up to their faith in him. His fumble last week probably hasn't gotten enough attention for how it altered the game.

It happened two days ago, along with Augustine.

those are fumbles forced not lost.

his comparison was between the one dimensional nature of the two. Yes he is a very good PR guy. The original point, was starting at db and doing both full time return duties is too much work load for one guy.

Agree. Id rather see him get back to old mo or as good as he can in his old role. He would have been a good choice last year. Though the amount of time hall keeps our D on the field for...

agree with you on that one. the times they are a changing. 

Fogg also started on D in 2016. A lot of guys have done both in the past just look at Spencer on Ottawa is a starting receiver and does KR and PR.
