EmotionallyUnstable

Salas and Lewis remain sidelined. Disappointing that the coaching staff can't get a good look at either of these guys.

Then reality sets in

The Ralph. Now and forever

Doomed?

Awesome thanks again

Karlos returns to practice

At least we haven't lost our sense of humor yet

No W. Powell but keeps Salas and Dez?

Shhhhh, our thread will initiate a league drug test that he could possibly fail and lose four games

Sammy, Bob and Glass are locks. Next in are Dez and Powell IMO. Salas hurt himself by being unavailable.

I thought we were "ALL IN"??

Really? I thought his pass pro was awful. He missed a blitz that resulted in an EJ sack. One of a few mistakes I thought he made.

It will be forever known as "The Ralph" with my group

I think Whaley won't trade a future draft pick for a guy who will play half a season. Once Manny and Shaq return, we are in much better shape here. That being said, in house replacements include the following:

Impressed by: Cardale Adolphus Seymore Powell Duke J Williams Kujo Disappointed by: Spikes Striker Albright Hankerson Groy

My biggest takeaway from the game replay as well... ...that and the lack of LB depth across the board.

Anybody But Cassel

No i don't think he is considered a replacement but having the pieces in play to be serviceable at this position IF we lose Gilmore one way or another is key. (Also, Darby is a real cool guy. Having run into him on a number of occasions, I have to say he has always been pleasant. Definitely pulling for him)

For argument sake... here are your previous statements, debunked by my own: More destructive nepotism with hiring of the down and out rob Ryan brother. - Bringing in a coach familiar with scheme isn't necessarily a bad thing. He isn't calling plays here. Already over priced running back in legal trouble and continues to "battleinjury" (he's such a warrior). - price and legality have nothing to do with performance. His backup (whos really better anyway) gets suspended due to substance abuse - four games is a quarter of the season. RB is a position of depth. If you're counting on a second string RB as a reason to fail, you need to do a self-evaluation of your football IQ Defense badly needed to replenish via draft ... - we did. draft picks are long term investments. Sometimes injuries happen and there isnt anything you can do about it. You have to see these picks from a GM's perspective, not a single season view 1st round edge rusher discloses he needs major surgery shortly after draft - again, better to have this corrected immediately. besides, he wasn't here last year so how does not having him make us worse? 2nd round MLB may have torn knee ligaments - this undoubtedly blows, but our strength is in our DL. If they can play to their potential, Z. Brown, Spikes, and co. should be able to make plays. Only true weapon on offense Sammy Watkins has foot surgery , doesn't know when he'll return - He has returned. Working on new big contract for unproven QB - Again, how is a contract negotiation in anyway indicative of performance on the field? Geez what a freaking deezaster - Hiroshima was a disaster, this is just football.

Last preseason was rough too. That wasn't really indicative of things to come.

I like our chances here. The match up most intriguing to me is that which we will not see: How does having Ed Reed and Tyrod Taylor, both formerly of the Ravens, impact our game plan? I can't help but to imagine they have tremendous insight on the opposition's scheme. I hope this valuable knowledge won't be taken lightly.

The question mark here is his ability to take on a block, much like you displayed Lawson to do. We figure he is quick enough to cover and definitely has pass rushing ability. I hope Rex throws that position to the wolves and offers little support tonight. Let's see if anyone can seperate themselves from the pack

Excited to see Bryson Albright and Eric Striker to see if there is any potential there

Who do you have as his current replacement? Having not heard anything, I can't help but yo be pessimistic regarding a week one return.

First Offensive snap: 21 personnel, EJ in the gun, flanked by Bush and McCoy, Double Reverse Pass to Tyrod Taylor for the 80 yard touchdown. or inside zone, who knows...
