The team either didn't have a roster spot or he was placed in Covid protocol. He was then removed from the suspended list and then added to the practice roster. So added to Free agent = PR?

September 1, 20222 yr comment_591166 good to see Richmond back practicing today too....sounds like we getting healthy all around bit by bit....now add an NFL cast-off and we in business
September 1, 20222 yr comment_591167 Couture potentially back on the OL+BOO returning which should gives us the ability to add an extra DL and maybe an extra DB too is exciting.

September 1, 20222 yr Author comment_591183 If Couture starts I expect we swap center for center. What I do not expect is if Couture replaced Grey at guard, which might have huge impact immediately. I see MOS as patient with Grey until he matures; he would only lose his starters role to injury; he puts his faith in his players and the next up philosophy to develop the underlings' skills. That seems to be the culture that has the best players yearning to play here.

He hasn't played anywhere near his normal level of play all season. He's become a liability. 3 hours ago, Noeller said: If Ellingson is ******, this wouldn't be the worst replacement...

It's not even a remote consideration. Secondly, our problem right now is not Gray, it is the health of Neufeld who is struggling through injury right now. The only way we are changing OG right now is if one of two things happen: 1. We sign Drew Desjarlais 2. Neufeld is injured and can no longer be effective until he recovers I suspect if both were to occur that DD would go in at LG, and Gray would push Neufeld to the bench until healthy

Gray has been just fine...Couture is a no brainer back at center as he prob top 2 centers in league..Kolonkowski held fort down, but that was about it...he gets owned and pushed back into the pocket more than he should....not sure all the Gray hate here

The offensive line performance is not a bunch of solo performances, but a coordinated choreography which takes time to learn, and we have had two significant losses (DesJarlais and Couture) plus Neufeld's very obviously injured arm. Gray will likely move to right guard to give Paddy time to heal but all this will not be an instant panacea but a significant improvement after the first period or two. Sempre avanti!

Sempre avanti! yeah if we do luck out and score getting DD back I can see that swap for now...And I believe Gray has more experience on the right side at guard too...Neuf could even be the 6th until he's healed up too...or we roll with 7 lineman
September 1, 20222 yr comment_591227 Not to mention the obvious Brady really heating up and Drew just helps Brady get even better
September 1, 20222 yr comment_591230 We won't announce any signings until after the weekend, when they can be added to the roster. I wonder who comes north? DD would make sense, unless another team signs him the PR, which seems very unlikely at this point.

September 1, 20222 yr comment_591232 Couture has been added to the active roster. Did we know this? I knew he was practicing but was unsure he actual status.

He’s more versatile and better at te in heavy set than kola or Dobson. I could see us rolling 7 ol. Other wise I believe the back up center is Nuefeld but injured idk if he could snap the ball. It’s nice to be able to roll out 7 true ol too. Basically no defense can roll out a front with that kind of mass. You can go from shorty yardage to hurry up with the back up for strevy type packages.

Gray would only go there for a bit to heal up Neuf if its an issue with him....I donmt think it is tho and he is the right guard...and as well top 2 or 3 in league....But yp Gray would be the 6th, and I could see us dressing Dobson too....be interesting to see how roster pans out when we are close to being all healthy

However, there is always the possibility of a team blowing it's brains out with an offer that we just can't justify matching, or Walters liking what he has right now on the OL and using that money to take a run at a guy like Zylstra instead. That being said, the chances of Drew being here two weeks from now are pretty good I would think. 40 minutes ago, Booch said: yeah if we do luck out and score getting DD back I can see that swap for now...And I believe Gray has more experience on the right side at guard too...Neuf could even be the 6th until he's healed up too...or we roll with 7 lineman I would think that we would 6 game Neuf and give him ample time to heal. I would suggest we could trade Dobson or Gray but I honestly think this might be Neuf's last year so I can't see us moving on from Gray or Dobson.
