Lou Young. 

 

He looked solid in camp and preseason at times, lacked consistency. Looks like maybe that has improved as the year went on. Better than any current free agent options. 

Worth a shot, maybe they can find a diamond in the rough like Gray from NE.  

At least my moronic ass can hope.

Wegher showed in preseason he is an excellent special teams player. He could replace Mayo on the active roster. 

This sounds plausible.

Just a question though... I confess I don't know all that much about special teams play & roles.  Some ST roles are pretty clear in terms of gunner & return coverage, but others are more obscure to me.

What roles phases of ST was Mayo playing?  Is it likely that Wegher can cover his duties as an RB and not an LB?

Also, if Colin Jones is possibly out, what about his ST reps?

Hearing we likely won't see Stew this week with a strained foot. 

 

Honestly, if you are going to activate CAP and/or Wegher... why not against the worst defense in the league and see what they can do. 

 

Pretty excited to see these kids play. 

I read one report that said it was his ankle - is it his ankle or foot?  Are these the same old JStew below the knee problems coming back ?

CAP should've been activated last week. I expect Artis-Payne to get a look over Wegher due to his familiarity with the zone read style of running, especially this late in the season.

 

I hope they give Stewart the next 2 weeks off and bring him back for Tampa for a tune up. We can't afford to have Stewart any less than 100% come playoffs. He is a VERY underrated part of this offense

They both play on the LOS on kick coverage.

It worked out ok without CAP active.  Fozzy got added needed reps and played well.  Also Simonson... added depth & experience at TE is a good thing.

But I do assume CAP will be active this week now and hope he will get some good game experience.  It will be a relief to us all to see who we have as a backup to Stew and to have him ready.  He looked good in the preseason, but real games are a different story and we need him to be up to speed.

I'd love to see CAP get a lot of snaps, but haven't we've seen this type of scenario before?  Unless CAP goes off on a play or two, I wouldn't be surprised if Tolbert wasn't carrying the load.  I don't like it too much, but they've done it in the past, almost to a fault.

      Dang, we might not be able to create the same magic from last year!

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade.

      Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.
