Not impressed with Lelito. He got is butt handed to him against the Cards, he gave up 3 sacks in his only start.

Who is it that I'm thinking of then? we have another guard that came in during a preseason game and did a great job?

Not sure Lelito did well against the scrubs but in his first start he was awful. That can change and he could get much better of course but I would rather see Harris start being that he has more experience and is much bigger. To be honest I would like to see Strief start over Grubbs and Armstrong start at RT. Zack and Evans would make a very large pair to help our running game.

I would hate to see our line take and steps backward as it seems to be improving a lot over the last few weeks. I hope that trend continues and we run the ball down their throats. Here is to another 100+yd game for Ingram lol.

Re: Final Injury report

I think on short weeks the NFL is lenient with the accuracy of the injury report.
Everyone is questionable? no problem
just another idiosyncrasy of the short week
we've had a blow out with Lelito in, and losses with a healthy line--the difference is a 3 and 5 step drop and one of the 1st two reads being open

Cadet didn't muff the punt. Sproles did. Or maybe Moore. I forget. Not a reason to take them off return duties, but I agree Cadet should take over and let Moore and Sproles just play offense. Too much of a risk of injury which we can't afford at this point in the season.

I'd imagine the staff didn't think Lelito would be forced into action as soon as he was. He beat out some pretty good interior talent to make the 53. I expect he'll get better and better every time he gets a chance.

Harris is an OT. Not sure he has that phone-booth power to excel inside. But I remember Strief commenting on how much Harris progressed and he expected good things out of Harris.

Harris and Lelito making the 53 over Jones and Tiller tells me they see something special.

I think it might be time to let cadet and the guy we picked up from canada take over special teams duties. I like having sproles back there but I'd rather see him be limited to just offensive possessions now. He will be important for us down the stretch.

Sproles really hasn't been that effective.

Agreed Rug, we're 3rd to last in the NFL in punt returns.

Its time to try something else.

Re: Final Injury report

I really hope we can open up the run game this week. If Sproles is out, I think we should try out Cadet out at punt return.
