I can even imagine Vilma and Lofton swapping that middle position every once in a while just to confuse QBs.
I would think there would be a rotation and Herring, Shanle and Cassilias all rotate in and out at different times depending on game situations. That's all contingent on Vilma's knee healing up though. |

Re: Only one game
The sky is falling, LOL. They laid an egg, at home, against a team that no one gave a chance. It happens, glad it happened early in the season so we can get it over with really.

I really hope this was just an anomoly. I must say that the doubt has crept in though. I am not as confident as I was before this game. Maybe I had set my self up for disapointment. I really didn't believe that missing SP was going to be a big deal but after that showing of leadership, the inability to adjust on either side of the ball, makes me feel like this may be a long year. |

Re: Only one game
When Vilma returns he'll probably play the middle on passing downs and across from Hawthorne the rest of the time. Lofton is a thumper and good against the run.

Re: Only one game
That was 1 bad game by us but It was 1 game! not the end of the season I do believe we will get it together that doesn't excuse the fact we played terrible we need to step up offensively and defensively I know #TeamKromer wont disappoint #WhoDat!
