With these receivers I feel like he may need to hold on to the ball longer which gives BC defenders time to get to him. Maybe they will get back to running the ball. Got the line, and the ball carrier to do it.

October 13, 20177 yr comment_297685 Sure love the look of that DL, especially since Okpalaugo seems to be settling in...

I honestly feel the light load for Harris was intentional last week. I just can't see another reason for it. He wasn't shut down by any means. Lapo and Oshea know what he means to the Offense and I think he will be a big factor in the game tomorrow. I'm not worried about Coates or JFG. They have both shown they can get open and make the hard catches. Adams is going to go off again!!! I just hope the Oline can shut down Bazzie. They had issues stopping the blitz off the ends last week.
October 13, 20177 yr comment_297693 I do not like this offensive lineup. Would have hoped Givens would have been given a shot over both Washington and Lankford. Washington has had his chance to impress and didn't.

Washington has had his chance to impress and didn't. i didn't remember a whole lot of when he played earlier this season. But I'll say Lankford should not be in there period, I'm tired of seeing him run piss poor routes.

October 13, 20177 yr comment_297701 I have some good news guys! We're 0-2 at home when I attend. And 5-0 at home when I don't attend. I'll be at a wedding social Saturday evening so I won't be able to attend the game. Therefor according to my calculations that I've ran extensively.. We should come out with the W!!

Well, at least just make sure you're willing them to win on a mobile device.

October 13, 20177 yr comment_297713 He was pretty objectively terrible in the small sample of games he played.
October 13, 20177 yr comment_297714 I wonder if familiarity with the playbook factored in to Washington getting another look over a relative newcomer like Givens. Perhaps the latter isn't up to speed just yet. I do hope we see Givens sooner than later, though.

Not technically true, as Thorpe was ahead of him, but injury gave Washington the opportunity. Granted one could argue that was his chance to take the reigns and not let Thorpe get them back. But with the way Oshea works, I doubt he would have let someone lose their spot due to injury. But the fact he's still on the team, is evidence enough that he's shown something...I'm not trying to say the guy is a star in the making. Just that, he hasn't really shown anything either way but the coaches obviously feel he's got some talent.

Still got Harris, still got Adams, still for Denmark... those are the guys they were always going to rely on. I agree I would love to have someone like Dressler back in there, but if the offense doesn't work I won't blame it on not having a couple guys in there simply because there are already enough guys there who should be able to pick up the slack.
October 13, 20177 yr comment_297718 thought this was kind of interesting..... @BobIrvingCJOB Matt nichols says if it rains he likely won't wear the partial glove on his injured right ring finger vs BC.

Running 10 yards backwards into the endzone off balance was impressive. He did something in the second game to lose his job. I'm not sure what it was. Missed a key block, ran some wrong routes, I don't know. That was the end of his first audition. Now he might be getting his second chance. Or be one of the 2 scratches.
October 13, 20177 yr comment_297723 I didn't think Washington was so great, but he does have some good speed so let's see if he's gotten his stuff together since the last time we saw him play.
October 13, 20177 yr comment_297726 Man that receiving core sucks. What does Ryan Lankford have to do(or not do) to get benched?

October 13, 20177 yr comment_297730 I am not so worried about being able to catch the ball when it comes to them, I am concerned on them running their routes and giving Nichols some pass options in time before he gets hit. I expect their will be more focus from BC defenders on guys like Adams, Denny and Harris which will leave some opportunity for the other guys...... if they can run their routes and get open. And that is the worry I have. Sure hope that JFG, Coates, and Langford can step up because I see them as the guys that will have less defensive coverage on them. I believe their performance will be key.
