K-Gun10 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Hardy practicing By Chris Brown - Posted November 13th, 2008 James Hardy is back practicing after missing Wednesday’s workout. Donte Whitner is also practicing in today’s pads practice and is getting first team reps. Not participating are Josh Reed, Aaron Schobel and Robert Royal. Tags: Aaron Schobel, Donte Whitner, James Hardy, Josh Reed, Robert Royal Looks like Defense will be back and better step it up this weekend, With Reed and Royal hurt we better be ready to run the ball ALOT.

K-9 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Holy crap! It's one thing to lose Reed. But Royal? How will we EVER compensate for his loss? GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need Reed back sooooooo bad! Have they set a timetable for his return? In a perfect world, he's back practicing next week, is back playing on a limited basis against SF, and then we have him for the last, and most important four games of the season. Pray with me, TSW, PRAY WITH ME! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Brown reported yesterday that i posted on here said Reed is doing work on the sidelines testing his injury but is very unlikely to play this weekend, and next weekend would be a better bet.

BuffaloBill Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Donte is key - if he plays we improve. However, we do not need him to reinjure himself because he comes back too quickly. Wonder if Schobel returns anytime soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 As much as we need Reed back on the field, the last thing I'd want them to do is rush him back with a strained achilles. He's one mis-step from ending his career. So, IMO, its far more important to be cautious with his return. With regards to Whitner, I hope he's actually ready to play and doesn't pull another McGee on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want him to be ready, too, but since it's his shoulder that's bothering him, I'm less concerned about this being another McGee scenario. A bum shoulder shouldn't limit his mobility...just how often & hard he hits someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bum shoulder shouldn't limit his mobility...just how often & hard he hits someone. Agreed. But that's what concerns me... his tackling. I just hope he doesn't go soft on a tackle, just to have the guy blow through him for a 50 yard TD run. But you're right he should be able to run with anyone and not really risk further injury. But, I could see him less aggressive on the tackles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Would've been nice to get Reed back. Trent really needs a reliable guy working underneath like that, and I'm not sure anyone else can fill that role. This is a blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrobot Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Starting Derek would be Fine! I would like to see some more of Schouman and Fine anyway. In the list above, Royal has the lowest yards per catch. We need to get the TE downfield to soften the middle up for Lynch+Jackson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to get the TE downfield to soften the middle up for Lynch+Jackson. Two words: play-action. Not a single play action run on Sunday. I can't for certain that no play action plays were called, for all we know TE audible out- but still. The play-action roll-out to the tight end has gotten us 15 yards every time we've run it this year (all four). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
