Think Peanut is coming back now?

We have two young corners that need grooming, and we're not done yet.  He hasn't retired, and while he's in rehab he's pretty much said that it's "nothing" and given signs he may come back for another year.  

Do you think it's in the cards?

As an assistant/intern coach or otherwise not part of the 53...I'd go for it.

"Grooming" from a player is like combing your hair with other hair. At some point a comb ( or bush for you with more hair) is needed. If Peanut has something he wants to give, I'd rather it come from him on the sidelines. Heavens knows those boys will need all the reps they can handle.

I don't know...last year we went into the season with only 4 corners, and one of them was almost exclusively a special teamer (Teddy Williams). Of course it's feasible we keep more this time, and by season's end we had 5 on the roster; but you've gotta think our 2 (thus far)  rookies, Bene, and Boykin are pretty much guaranteed spots. Tillman is still better than any of McClain, Young, or Williams; just not sure if we'll bring him back instead of giving time to the new guys.

With drafting two corners. probably not, sad to say.  I think we could really use his leadership in that room and being a mentor to these rookies, but maybe there's some other way to make that happen - hiring him as a coach...

Can someone clarify for me, if Peanut WERE to come back and be on the PUP, could he practice with the team?  I'm thinking not, which means that even though he'd not be taking up a roster spot on the PUP, he wouldn't be able to be on the field with the kids, thus defeating the purpose...

He can attend practices and do training stuff, just not take part in drills.

I don't think so. Peanut ran out of gas mid season last year even before his injury. 

I think he would be a great mentor for these young guys.  But it will be hard to fit him on the 53 man roster given how he wore down so quickly last year.  

I am confident that Wilkes can mold these young guys.

    • NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing. 
    • The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
    • Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
