Chuba Hubbard is expected to miss Week 5

[CC Rider]

I didn't even realize he was hurt... I didn't think we would beat the Dolphins but this news makes it an even tougher game!

[Khyber53]

Oh poo.

[Waldo]

He was hurt last game, that's why Rico got more touches. 

It's the NFL and injuries are the norm. They did right and went out and got a back that can run. Now prove they chose wisely 

[CRA]

I mean, in all honesty, it shouldn't change much.  Is he better than Rico? Sure.  Is it by a big enough margin to alter that much? Not really.  I like the way Rico runs.  He isn't as patient as Hubbard which I think leads to greater chances of big runs but also more negative runs

[Bear Hands]

Well it appears nearly all of our offensive rookies will be getting substantial playing time.

McMillan, Etienne, Evans

Miami's defense is crap - 2nd worst in 3rd down conversion %, 26th in yards per game, no real threats.

Will be interested to see if anyone makes noise.

Or maybe Chop Robinson just destroys us lol.

[Swaggasaurus]

Maybe we’ll get some Deejay Dallas action this week, he was a good looking lil player in college when they moved him from WR to RB for like 2 games and then they put 20 pounds of fat on him. He does have Wildcat experience tho. Maybe we can do that instead of Bryce on Sunday.

What about Jimmy Horn? Shouldn't he be in the mix?

Not sure if Miami having a bad D really is going to matter though.  Cards, Patriots, and Jags all have worse pass defenses to date (but I do think Miami has secondary injuries).

Horn is going to come if for some telegraphed schemed up plays where everyone will know they are going to attempt to give him the ball

They said he was going to be active. 
 

The running back thing, we are going to miss Chuba pass blocking I think but maybe Etienne can show some moves. I believe he has some. 

Also I said this elsewhere but the downfield shots vs the 3rd and long handoffs rather than trusting the QB that was complained about here, was addressed in an Athletic article by Person. 
With Legette back I am expecting some Russel Wilson type downfield prayers to be tried this week. 

[BIGH2001]

Get ready for a lot of the electric slide from Rico. 

[jb2288]

This week should actually be fun. Now that we have gotten past the acceptance stage on another season, we can just watch the young guys play and develop and not worry about the outcome

Like playing Super Tecmo Bowl growing up and the entire D just gang tackles your ball carrier immediately because they correctly guessed your play call. LOL

Agree. Agree. Agree. Horn should get snaps based on being the only WR that can actually stretch the field and pressure safeties with speed.
