Ok with Kreutz gone..do we activate Ivory

Danno · 10-21-2011, 01:24 PM

We have a roster exemption for Ivory so there's no hurry to activate him.

We'd be wise to bring in some O-line insurance instead of activating a RB that we don't need.

Stop it. We pick up a lineman. Period.

We have a center..

..why not pound the ball behind him..and Xan where did we get 5 RBs?..why let the most explosive runner ride the pine?..ok i guess were content with 80 yards a game from our run game..Im sure we are looking at O-Line men...we better be..but I think we could drop a useless FB for Ivory...come on..thats reason enough..

I am well aware of that..and six games in we should have our running game established..now with the shuffling of the O-Line ..it might be good to let Chris get a groove going..Ingram seems timid and green ..P.T {cough} is really good at screens we all know that...Sproles is weapon like Reggie wanted to be..that leaves room for a power back..but hey we will let the coaches decide..

I thought the hurry was there was a time limit to bring hiom back from PUP. I could be wrong only asking!

Here's the skinny...

6 weeks on PUP-can't practice with team.

Then you have 3 weeks to evaluate him and decide whether or not to let him start practicing with the team.

After he starts his 1st practice, you have 3 more weeks before you have to activate him to the 53 man squad, or IR him for the rest of the season

Quiz tomorrow.
