So yes, Bradley Bozeman is not on the injury report and is said to be "ready to go"...

...but Pat Elflein is starting.

I'm just going with the hope here that due to the few weeks of injury, Boze just isn't back up to game speed yet, and they'll take the next few practices to get him there before he takes the starting center spot back. I figure, it's either we trust Campen or we don't, since he most likely suggests/decides the starting line up for his unit.

Of course, he could always have just been OverRhuled (tm) here, but for a head coach that's most likely fighting for his job this year that would not only set a bad tone for the rest of the staff to hear, it would be a pretty nonsensical move not to listen to a guy with that much experience in his wheelhouse as Campen has.

Admittedly, not outside the ballpark for our HC, but I'm optimistic that Rhule isn't quite that stupid.

I see we stopped the Friday walk through/Saturday full practice bullshit from last year. McAdoo probably told Rhule that was a horrible idea. I could be wrong but I doubt many teams do a full practice 24 hours before kickoff

wait what... we were doing full practices on Saturday? I dont recall reading this. Send my way.. that is insane.

It was always in little tweets the last two seasons. Kinda the same BS as not practicing red zone that Teddy mentioned. He got some NFL coaches to finally show him what NFL teams do

Maybe they thought giving a young team a walk through Friday and an actual practice Saturday was better for them being ready on game day? Obviously not physically but mentally? I dunno, just glad it seems like he's listening to the actual NFL coaches this year and we can limit his involvement to managing time outs and challenge flags

thats insane... you'd think you want players to be 100% on Sunday. Im not sure what those practices entailed.. maybe they were non contact, but if they were full practices on a Saturday... i dont think ive ever seen that before

Yeah even injury scares, "We'll see how they look after Saturday". Like that's enough time to decide if someone was ready to play Sunday afternoon

Just another example of rhule trying to reinvent the wheel to appear smarter than everyone else. I don’t understand how somebody this inept made it into a decision making role in a  competitive setting.

    • Dude, I think I might be having Jarvy withdrawals... I ripped the sleeves off of all of my t-shirts in my sleep last night. Every bite of my Alpha-Bita cereal spelled Seth, this morning. And, I took 7 naps before lunch. I'm losing it guys! Jarvy's Jaunty Band of Jaggoffs are getting more play than he is... smh Team Canada doesn't treasure Jarvis the way he deserves. He should take his band down to Liechtenstein, get a bag of passports, and start his own Olympic team! The raw animal magnetism of Jarvilicious will bring in a handful of NHLers on its own. And, since the IOC believes in collective punishment, he could have his pick of the rookies. Then, just fill out the rest of the roster with the maple blooded great white northerners who couldn't make the top squad. Can't trust this assembled awesomery to just any old Liechtensteinien with a clipboard and a whistle. Gotta bring in a legend worthy of this gold medal gambit. A hockey HOFer with the balls to buck the system and the aura to match our maverick. Huere geil, Vaduz!!! 2030 Gold Medal guaranteed!
    • Tennessee isn't trading a QB on a 2nd round contract that has starting experience.  That's bad business.
    • OT is the top priority as it is both an immediate and future need.  I wouldn't be past trading up slightly to get the guy we want.  You need that rookie contract right now.  Icky is a dead 17.5 million for the season.  Morton is 20+ mil for the season, Hunt is 20+ mil for the season.  There needs to be forward thinking regarding the future.   Caleb Lomu is a left Tackle, he's a solid prospect, he may be the best pick for us now and in the future.  I would seriously consider cutting Hunt after 2026, and let Lomu and Icky fight for the LT job, loser moves inside.  Icky's future may be at guard after this injury anyway.  If Damien Lewis keeps up his level of play he will need to be paid sooner rather than later.  Yosh and BC can be our top two depth OL at an affordable price.  You will need to look at OT again in 2027. Getting an EDGE for the sake of getting an EDGE outside of the top 10 is pretty risky.  I wouldn't be against eyeing someone like Cashius Howell, Derrick Moore, or TJ Parker in the 2nd (even if we trade a future pick to move up) or DDS in the third. I'd love to see us try to sign both Leo Chenal and Matt Millano in FA.   Chenal for the blitzing element we are missing from our LB corps and Millano for his elite coverage.  They could both work in tandem.  Remember, our FO has deep ties to both KC and Buffalo. I love thinking about the draft, but until Free Agency hits, we are clueless.  Looking at the strength of FA and the draft, OL is priority #1, LB #2, and EDGE #3.  We know what happens to Bryce when protection falls apart.
