June 18, 201312 yr Author comment_5250 Swiston hurt? Odd he isn't getting some work. Saw a tweet saying he twisted his knee in practice the other day.
June 18, 201312 yr Author comment_5251 QB's better watch themselves. Not a lot of experience on that OL. Left side in particular... should be interesting to see how they hold up. Looks like Parker has the WILL spot locked up. Brown vs. Wild for the 4-man/practice roster role that Parker filled last year as depth. Last chance for some rookie DBs to make an impression. Markett is leading the way as we know but I've also liked Bert Brown, eager to see if he can step his game up. Huge opportunity for some of the young receivers who will get to play almost the entire game. One of the new DE's better step up too, need someone to definitively grab that DI spot. One thing is for sure, none of these guys will be able to say they didn't get a fair shot, they'll all have ample time to make an impression.
June 18, 201312 yr comment_5252 one way or the other this is going to be a damned fascinating game to follow. Rookies can't ask for a better chance to show that they belong cause they're going to get a ton of playing time.
June 18, 201312 yr comment_5254 one way or the other this is going to be a damned fascinating game to follow. Rookies can't ask for a better chance to show that they belong cause they're going to get a ton of playing time. Only 42 men on that roster. This will be a full game for a bunch of these guys.
June 18, 201312 yr comment_5255 Holy smokes we are keeping a lot of guys at home! simpson not making the trip? meaning he has locked up starting rb? man I wish this was televised
June 18, 201312 yr comment_5262 man i just hope we comes out of this game with no injuries at all especially in QB. i expect Goltz to have a rough start but hopefully he and the OL settles down after a few snaps.

June 18, 201312 yr comment_5303 Apparently Pencer still has a shot at winning a starting T spot that would be a big deal
June 18, 201312 yr comment_5306 Holy smokes we are keeping a lot of guys at home! simpson not making the trip? meaning he has locked up starting rb? man I wish this was televised Was there really any doubt? Simpson is and has been the best RB on this team since we signed him. I also wish this game was on tv. I'd like to see how Adams does, and Brown at WIL.
June 18, 201312 yr comment_5307 that would be a big deal HUGE. That would have a positive domino effect on the entire roster.
June 18, 201312 yr comment_5308 Apparently Pencer still has a shot at winning a starting T spot so January backs up Pencer? I doubt that.
June 18, 201312 yr comment_5311 so January backs up Pencer? I doubt that. Maybe on the right side? Forgot I saw who said this but it was from Burke.
June 18, 201312 yr Author comment_5320 Settle down everyone. Burke said Pencer has a shot at winning a tackle spot, not a starting tackle spot. Remember that we usually carry 3 import tackles on the roster. This just means Pencer could take that backup tackle position. Highly doubt he's in the mix as a starter.
June 19, 201312 yr comment_5327 Definately going to be looking forward to checking out these new guys via bob Irving and highlights. I got the impression Marshall was going to be in the running for SAM. I guess he wasn't good there? Anybody know how he's been doing so far?
June 19, 201312 yr comment_5331 From hearing Burke on the radio today sounds like Pencer as a backup tackle (46 maybe), possible starter later this year or likely next.
June 19, 201312 yr comment_5333 I don't believe I have ever seen a coach committing to so many rookies and leaving so many rookies behind. It's either bold or crazy or both. Inspired by this, I've taken the unusual position of assigning a rookie radio listener to listen to the play by play. I'm looking forward to his assessment.
June 19, 201312 yr comment_5334 I don't see what's wrong with doing this.... good way to evaluate the new talent. The reason you don't see this happening so much is because most teams are not loaded with rookies and actually have vets and vet depths... Now if we want to look at it through conspiracy goggles.... maybe Burke is doing this to give an excuse and to prevent the media for blasting him after 2 huge blowout exhibition losts where we couldn't put any points on the board.
June 19, 201312 yr comment_5336 The reason you don't see this happening so much is because most teams are not loaded with rookies and actually have vets and vet depths... That has very little to do with it IMO. It doesn't matter if you don't have rookies you still have unproven backups. Still an opportunity to evaluate the guys who don't get a lot of game reps.
June 19, 201312 yr comment_5349 Neat idea... kind of concerned about shattering Goltz's confidence or Goltz himself though... probably would have stuck with our A-list OL if we are testing out QBs. That LB lineup is, um, yikes. Hard to believe that Labbe really is still our only option if Muamba goes down. Receivers look good. Would be nice to see Thomas or Lucas really stand out.
June 19, 201312 yr comment_5355 I'd prefer they'd start prepping the starters for the first game of the season. With just 2 pre season games now, rookies have to impress in practice. Dammit, Buck should be playing. If he can't take the hits, I'd rather it be now than when the season starts.... We're playing scared at the qb position.... Don't like it one bit.
