Is this the best timed ‘bye’ we’ve ever had

[TheBigKat]

Rosenbloom- back

 Mays- back

Horn- back

 Cherlus - back

Moehrig- back

a week of rest with only 4 weeks to go

 

 Way better then the early byes we’re accustomed to getting, dare I say one of the best timed bye’s in franchise history

Don't forget about Hunt.

Late season byes are always good for this reason.

We did pretty good with next man up last week.

Definitely a helpful one to have. I still think the ideal time to have a bye week is usually the latter end of mid season (like week 11-12).

Definitely better than our usual bye week of the first week or two possible for a bye week...

Is there a real reason they cant have all teams on bye one of three weeks weeks 9-11?

I was wondering the same myself earlier this year. I think this should be strongly considered in the off-season.

Dollars.. can't have that little amount of games for they stretch

Mays, Horn and Moehrig back are a big deal. The LB's....eh....not that relevant.

I hope they don’t rush him back or let him come back too soon.

If they do, it will be a massive contract flushed down the toilet. 

There is no valid reason to bring him back. Him returning gives us our 2nd best OL combination, IMO. I believe Corbett is more of a drop off from Mays moving to center than the drop off from Hunt to Corbett at OG.

Not using that to say Hunt isn't very good but Corbett at C is atrocious.

I was thinking the same thing over the weekend.  Really feels like we were running out of pieces.  The timing is perfect for so many different players on the team... the biggest of all probably being Rico Dowdle.  He's had nagging minor injuries for a few weeks now that you can see have taken just a bit of his explosiveness.  I expect him to go absolutely crazy the last few weeks of the season.  I think he's going to be eyeballing the team single season rushing record.
