Brandon Hogan Says He's Ready To Play

as to Hogan, the worst possible thing we could do right now is rush him back...

He is going to be desperate to play, just force him to sit and learn this week Ease him back in to special teams after that, if he is doing well and feels fine after special teams vs Minnesota, then give him some time with the defense after the bye.

He's been sitting and learning since August, that's what they do when they're injured. They don't just go home and play nintendo.

I don't think he should play, but just to make sure he's healthy. 1 more week of learning doesn't mean much.

Sit during the game, learn in practice. Perhaps I should have been more clear.

It is with Hogan as it is with Fua, McClain etc... With those stupid CBA rules that says only one padded practice, the young guns gets more NFL "training" on sundays than through the week.

It isn't really with Hogan as it is with Fua, McClain, etc... Those guys actually had practice in the preseason and have been able to practice every week so far this year. Yes, the practices are limited, but drills and limited practice > being unable to practice at all as far as readiness to play the game goes.

With the whole "building for the future" mentality of starting these young guys, we don't need Hogan to contribute this Sunday, but for years to come. I have trouble seeing how a guy with one week of practice, even if he has been absorbing through the entire year, could really make such a huge immediate difference that it is worth the risk of playing him this week.

Then again, I am known for being a bit too cautious I think. :P

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
