Running backs not playing is usually related to learning oass protections.. it so I've been told

And I agree that it would take something like an injury to bring him up.

As for difference makers from the practice squad ... I can't think of any. I know my very personal friend, Strief, was a practice squad player for most of his rookie year, but even after being brought up he only started one of nine games active.

:D

I knew about Strief but thought Thomas was an UDFA who made the right final roster no?
Btw I spelled Strief wrong in my earlier post . Surprised you didn’t notice and get
Defensive since he’s your good friend and all.

How much does Coleman being gone do you think is
Attributed to the fact we can’t seem to get the running game going? Yes, we don’t have Ingram but I figured Williams and MG would at least contribute.

A lot. Peyton talked about this in the presser today. WR blocking is critical. They have to learn the defensive packages each week and know where the force will be coming from. It's a weakness right now outside of MT. CM can barely stand up so he won't be blocking anyone with authority like Coleman.

Because he is an inspiration to others with his unquestioned work ethic :rolleyes:

Merideth too! He was on his way to being a superstar with the Bears he’s bound to bounce back here and become a huge part of our offense. We have historically had awesome success when we take a gamble and sign these players who have only been heald back by injury. It’s uncanny how well they bounce back. I just wish we would have given him a huge contract!
Leanord is the one that one of our esteemed members who hangs out with Streif is so high on because Strief told him so.

Zach is pure class, so pretty sure he was towing the company line w/his bud. But I'd go by what the coaches think about ol' Slick Rick's amazing work ethic.

One missed assignment, open shot on Brees ... game over.

Heard that. I shouldn’t post when taking a dump
