Indy and GB are two more games where we will be in nickel for about the whole game as they are in 3 WR sets 90% of the time. Not a lot of opportunities for him outside of special teams for Shaq the next couple weeks. Don't rush him back. Let him get fully healthy since we don't really need him for the next two weeks.

Actually the Colts this year have been running a lot of jumbo sets with 3 TEs or 2 TEs and 1 extra offensive lineman.

Considering I thought it was WAY more serious when I saw it on TV, this is GREAT news whether he plays or not this week.

it just looked a little jarred to me. I didn't think it looked serious, but any kind of knee injury is a pretty scary thing. 

Just hope he doesn't second-guess himself while he's planting and running because that's one of his best assets (weaving and tracking while ball-hawking.)

Shaq is more of an elusive tackler that uses smooth and serpentine running to avoid blockers and get the ball carrier at the LOS. He's also elusively fast once he locks in on a ball carrier.

Honestly, I don't even pay attention to injuries as much as I use to.. I'm at the point now that I fully trust this team to figure out a way to win.. Good for Shaq but I think we still win no matter what

so hows the last two weeks of your life been since turning over your new leaf

      Giannis

      By Raleigh PF · Posted

      It looks like the Bucks and Giannis are headed for a divorce. He says he's ready to play and the Bucks say that he has told them he isn't. It really doesn't matter except that it likely means the end for Giannis in Milwaukee. He's 31 years old, but still an elite producer.  So, as GM, would you go after him this offseason? Remember, the Hornets have two 1st round picks this year and potentially THREE first round picks next year. What would a trade look like?

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.  For clarity, "developmental" refers to players who are still a year or two away from starting.  We are all developmental, but there are prospects who need a season to transition to the pro game. I see 1--maybe 2 OTs who could step into a starting role right now. In college, for example, taking snaps under center requires a different approach than blocking for the shotgun.  There is less to learn if you play a position that does not require much adjustment to transition to the NFL.

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      The natural progression of ANY QB is to take more control of the offense.  Which is all Dave said. He doesn't have a narrative to push. He is says what is the natural thing to say in this situation whether it's Bryce, or any other QB.  THE THREAD TITLE ALONE TWISTS THE NARRATIVE.   so yes, many of you refuse to acknowledge anything other than your screwed perspective, for whatever reason, when it comes to Bryce.  Y'all have a great Easter.
