Shaq Thompson probably out this week

It's fine. Colts go 3WR like 80+ percent of the time so he wouldn't play much even if he was healthy then the Packers play 3WR nearly 100% of the time. He can take his time getting healthy.

we seldom play a base 4-3. He's the starter in our buffalo nickel which is his primary role in the defense.. Colin jones stepped back into that role last week and got the interception on the first drive from that spot. 

 

Bene could get more snaps in that package but colin jones has been the primary backup there since playing it full time last season.

the injury bug has hit us hard, but i am so impressed with the way this team has responded and won in spite of it all. this team is built to succeed. 

i hope we do finally get a stretch where everybody is healthy. This team will be nearly unstoppable if that happens. 

Rivera and Gettleman have actually given us depth and a solid "Next Man Up" Mentality that championship contenders have. When a guy goes down I'm bummed now, but not all hope is lost like it was in the Fox era. Any time a starter went down with him as coach, you knew we would feel it more than most teams.

yeah, hopefully we're just getting it out of our system early. There's a good possibility we'll be healthy, and well conditioned come playoff time.

Thompson played 57% of the snaps against the Saints. I would assume they would utilize him in a similar fashion against the Colts.

yeah when are we getting CJ back? i would check myself, but i have to go to class. hopefully it will be before the Falcons games. if we can have this entire team healthy, the Falcons are going to wish they had never been born. haha.

Cowboys game is the first game he is eligible to return.

Luke didn't play against the Saints and Klein was being subbed out when we went with 2 LB's. Luke doesn't get subbed out. Shaq would have gotten far less snaps if Luke was healthy.

    • Yeah not taking that Burns trade was infinitely stupid. We seem to be finally righting the ship but, imo, our biggest issue since Tepper bought the team has been coaches and management having a poor understanding of where our own roster is at. Starting with that idiot Rhule drinking his own kool-aid and thinking he was going to come and take the NFL by storm with Teddy freaking Bridgewater. Could have just kept Cam on the last year of his contract and gone from there but noooo that fat slob had to feel like he was the big man on campus. First round wizard Marty Hurney who, for whatever his faults, has a freaking HOF track record with first round picks, wants to trade up for Hebert but fat fug Rhule says no. Then we kept Rhule for 3 years which is absolutely unbelievable to me and every single year he treated our roster like it was just one player away trading our draft picks for Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield who have proven since leaving that Matt Rhule was an even bigger idiot of a coach than we thought. We finally seem to understand we are a ways off and trade CMC, but then we don’t take the actual good trade for Brian Burns who was never better than a run of the mill situational pass rusher. Then we botch the self scout of our OL (and team) after Wilks, even though they were bad before Wilks simplified the scheme, thinking they can execute whatever the hell Reich and Brown were trying to do. So we win a couple meaningless games playing dummy ball and Fitterer thinks we’re a player away again. And nobody even considers that having the slowest receiving corps imaginable with Damiere freaking Byrd, who can’t even make it to the season before being injured and cut, as your only hope for speed, coupled with the worst pass blocking OL I’ve ever seen, might lead to titanic levels of disaster. The way Canales and Morgan have been adamant about constantly bringing competition at every position has been refreshing and made a huge difference. I was kind of worried that we had fallen into our old ways leading up to the draft with all the talk of defense only and worried that they might feel the offense was set. Very glad to see they were not complacent on that. My big thing now is I’m still wondering why Evero is still here. I can’t think of a single player who has gotten better under him, and the Broncos defense got better once he left. We’ll see.
    • really good interview that gives some insight into their decision making process in making up the schedules and the issues they run into with so many people broadcasting games now. also some interesting discussion on what they have going on and where they might be heading in the international games. vikings have 2 of them, btw. we might be seeing more of that.     
    • wow i absolutely LOVED watching that.   will watch again...and again...and again.
