September 7, 20177 yr comment_289476 All the talk about Wild from everyone even remotely close to the team has said we'll be lucky to see him at all again this season.
September 7, 20177 yr comment_289478 Sad, but.... Is what it is. Leads me to believe that they'd be on the hunt for another body from NFL cuts, which isn't a bad thing.

Wild wouldn't be the first very good player whose body couldn't take the pounding and had to pack it in early.

September 8, 20177 yr comment_289541 The defnnece was bad before... but it does seem like it got substantially worse when they stopped playing Johnson at DT. Then got even worse when we lost Walker. Which does attest to the depth of player personnel on defence. Not having Ian Wild did seem to hurt us also... But im not defending Hall because even when everyone is healthy the defence is still soft and is still always one of the worst in the points against category Edited September 8, 20177 yr by James

September 8, 20177 yr comment_289552 So it's look like Jovan Santos-Knox will start at WIL this week. Let's see if he will do better that Kyle Knox. Kyle Knox will likely be out. I'm guessing Kyrie Wilson will be activated from PR to be one of the DIs. Edited September 8, 20177 yr by M.O.A.B.

But, I dont think we will go with just 5 LBs (1 INT LB) in the lineup . I guess we can sit Ekakitie and add another DB (Conteh or Branning) , then activate Poop (instead of Wilson) Though we will be thin in LB corps if someone gets injured. Some can argue that Rush can be an emergency LB. Has he seen snaps in D on practices ? Edited September 8, 20177 yr by M.O.A.B.
September 8, 20177 yr comment_289563 Unless he is hurt there is no excuse for sitting Poop out. If they insist that Ogopogo has to be in the lineup then I'd rather they sit Jeffcoat even though he's been playing awesome than Poop. Poop plays a different position and quite honestly we need that presence in the middle of the line.
September 8, 20177 yr comment_289565 We need Poop and Nevis both clogging the middle of the trenches because after that we have Sam Hurl behind them up the middle.

September 8, 20177 yr comment_289572 Depth chart is out if someone wants to start a Day Before thread... I can't post it from my phone. Poop backing up Nevis and still no Thorpe. Santos L Halper officially in for KnoxOnWood.... Edited September 8, 20177 yr by Noeller
September 8, 20177 yr comment_289573 The fact that Walker, Fogg, Flanders can all return kicks, and we keep Lankford on who save for one return and one reception gives us diddly just irritates the hell out of me. We could use his spot for Poop Johnson preferably, or for Thorpe who over course of game gives us way more value on offence, and possibly the big play threat on returns. Same with 4 defensive ends...3 is sufficient and a rotation of Westerman and either Jeffcoat/ OPO with Corney and Nevis and Johnson taking majority of inside reps spelled off by Thomas gives us a way better line-up. These guys would all get enough reps and rest to be really into the game...we could use the Ekakitie spot on say a Conteh/banning or throw Drew W in there Also for what the value we get with the other import LB we DI , why not use that on a Thorpe, or a Poop, or still allow us to roster Lankford if they feel he is so vital? Yeah sure people can clammer about how he the top returner...but that is yardage wise and mainly because we have returned more kicks than anyone...so a somewhat skewwed stat. If anything I think roster management hinders us more than anything and how we allocate our ratio...
