He was barely injured wasn't he? No reason he should not be 100% going into camp.

Didn't Dave or Ron just address Amini and Kug last week? One of them said Kug was behind Amini in terms of health.

That ain't good IMO

I'd like to see whomever winds up as the backup also groomed as a center since Piggy and Byers are gone.

I think Turner will be the back-up at Center even if he is the starting RG.

Bouncer?

 

Nathans Hot Dog champ?

 

Guy with greatest initials, KGB?

 

Who knows, but I would love to get an update on this guy, like what is his current weight and progression.  TT will blow by him if he is not in good physical shape.  If TT is the real deal, the Kugzilla might be headed for his last camp

First he needs to get healthy. Then he needs to make the team, then he might get a shot if some injuries mount. If he doesn't make the team Gettleman might hire him as a personal assistant. He's a little raw when it comes to office work but you can't teach size.

 

 

didnt he only have a rucurring hamstring issue when they stashed him on IR ?  how serious can a hamstring be?

Kugbila was a 4th round pick from a small college.  He was injured (fairly seriously) his rookie season.  He is and was always developmental.  If you are writing him off now, calling him a bust etc, comparing him to Everette Brown, etc.  then you probably forgot about Evan Mathis.  He was a second rounder (I think) from a big school who needed about 2-3 years to develop.  He is now a pro-bowler.  We wrote him off too early.

 

Want another example?  Geoff Schwartz..  We let him go (or made not attempt to re-sign) for reasons yet to be determined.  He has been a solid G for a few teams.

 

So if you want to write Kugbila off after his injury-plagued rookie season, go ahead.  You probably did the same for Mathis but don't talk about that anymore.  You just refer to Everette Brown and Jimmy Clausen, as if there is a connection there.

I talked with him Saturday at the draft party and he said he was 100% ready to go and said he was expecting big things. Talk is cheap I know, but that was straight from his mouth. One thing for sure though, he's a large human.

    • See my previous post. You're also leaving out that T-Mac was likely hitting a rookie wall, like 95% of rookies do late in their first season, combined with the added attention on him by defenses, which in turn would be why Bryce looked Coker's way down the stretch.  With Coker playing like that to start next year, defenses will have to pay attention to it, which will then also make things easier for T-Mac. All of which is also ignoring that T-Mac will just be a better player next year than he was this year, assuming he works on his game this offseason, which we all know he will be.  If a player who was already your clear cut #1 comes back even better his next season, you're going to make sure you're throwing it his way more often, no matter who else you have. Again, Coker's added targets won't be at the expense of T-Mac's, they will BOTH be taking targets from the rest of the team.  Not to mention, we should be passing it more next year to begin with, seeing as we'll have both of them hopefully ready to go full speed Week 1, which again, will help both their target totals increase. Coker looks like a really good player, but even the most optimistic person can't say he looks like he has #1 potential, he has very solid to maybe even high end #2 potential.  You're not taking targets away from the reigning OROY who looks like a true Top 15 WR already to get your #2 targets, you increase both of them by taking from the others.
    • Need to crush the hawks tonight. A lose would really damage momentum 
    • Sorry, but this is a terrible breakdown that doesn't at all show what you're trying to say/project about T-Mac next year, as it leaves out key information that changes everything, it makes the opposite point that you're trying to. Chase missed 5 games that second season after playing all 17 as a rookie (and still saw more targets that second season). Puka it looks like you projected his stats out to a 17 game season (as he only played 11 games), but even still , when you have 160+ targets as a rookie, there isn't really much room to get any more the next year. Waddle saw an increase in yards, and sure, his targets went down, but he played on a team with a better WR that year who saw 170 targets for 1,710 yards during that 2nd season for Waddle... something T-Mac doesn't have to contend with on the same team (280+ targets for their top 2 WRs, if you don't think T-Mac would see more than 122 targets if him and Coker combined for 287, then you're nuts). Then Olave and Wilson both saw an increase of 19 targets in their second season. You basically just laid out the reasoning for why T-Mac should see at least 20 more targets next year, if not more, which would be a solid increase and put him easily into the Top 10 most targeted WR next season.
