RT Jeff Otah (lower back) is active.

Looks like he's playing.

He won't be in there 100% of the time, but I'll take what I can. Also whats up with Ziemba?

Don't need him, Byron Bell is apparently better than him in the coaches' eyes, and can probably step in for either T position.

We knew this Thursday. When he stated he was 100%. You know. When you guys were too busy screaming and panicking and throwing hissy fits suggesting we should cut him.

I never said to cut Otah. :P

However, just because a player says he's 100% means nothing. In fact, he was downgraded Friday from Probable to Questionable. So obviously, the medical staff either felt like he wasn't a 100%, or you know, it was a...

He was never downgraded. He had full practice on Thursday, and was limited on Friday as a precautionary measure. Standard measure taken.

O rly?

Otah was downgraded from probable to questionable on Friday with a lower back injury.

If Otah can't play, undrafted rookie Byron Bell would make his second career start.

    • Sure, he's said that, but what it really means is that he's just going to insist on being a two way player and the Jags want him as such. But he won't be a starter who plays every snap on both sides in Week 1, if at all during his rookie year.  This is the NFL, no rookie, no matter how good they might be, is going to be able to go through their first mini and training camps while splitting time on both sides of the ball and be ready to be a week 1 starter and go full time both sides. And if a team does that, then they're dumb. I think their plan is to start him mainly on offense to give Lawrence another weapon, and I'm guessing it means he'll be a rotational CB early in the season, maybe he comes in when they go to nickel, even if he then plays the outside and someone else shifts inside.

    • YAC isn't the only way to be a threat. Thielen's ADOT was 11 yards last year. He's stressing a defense beyond its first level. Renfrow's 2023 ADOT was 5.6 yards. He's settling into a soft spot under a zone and the defense bets that they can rally and tackle before he gets to the marker. That kind of popgun slot receiver play is fine, but we should hope to be able to find that ability in someone who can also bring another skill, whether that's a vertical threat, or some jet sweep/screen game YAC  ability, or even just being very large and blocking well. Every time we trot Renfrow out there, we limit what the defense has to worry about.
