    Chris Rainey and Reggie Dunn, are you crazy?

    I don't think there is going to be a lot of O-line guys off the street that can start. We got lucky with Fernando V.

    That puts thing in a really sobering perspective. We pretty much spend a lot of our year looking forward to football season and talking about it and dissecting certain things and then it gets here and before you know it it's a quarter of the way done and then halfway and before you know it it's over. Dang time flies.

    Somebody got a bad case of the supposed to's

    I heard the same thing about Dwyer ....WHY WOULD WE BRING HIM BACK...THAT SHIP HAS SAILED....BLAH BLAH BLAH....I have been saying it for months...Dwyer is the best back on this team until proven otherwise....and its yet to even be in doubt.....

    This team is slow..and that includes Felix Jones.....We need speed.

    I would love to see Moye get more time !!! If there is one guy on the team, he would be my choice to get more time. Dwyer would be 2nd. Don't understand why they don't like him.

    Oh and I would give Rainey another try. He tried out for the Chiefs this week and ran a 4.3

    We need pass protectors. Rainey would get killed in that. UNLESS opposing defenses rush multiple women in which case we would constantly get flagged for illegal hands to the face.

    Only Dwyer can even slow down the rush right now....but when they go empty set.....Rainey on a pitch outside...or on the dump off to the flats...is much more dangerous (but funny joke all the same) I would like to point out...that Rainey was never convicted or even tried....Charges dropped = No Charges.....just like our own Super Star QB..

    Rainey couldn't take an NFL hit, that's why.

    Out w/ a whimper. At least in this instance.
    Gilbert is Beachum's BU until we can get rid of him. Pray that's soon.
    Fragel Do it...
    More Moye, Wheaton, Johnson, and Dwyer.
    Dwyer in backfield whether he's running it or not.
    Let JJ and Worilds battle it out. We win and JJ is coming along.

    im not sure if the coaches are playing the loyalty card to some of the vets that are still playing, but when your 0-3, 0-7 counting the preseason and have only 2 wins in your last 15 games played or so, things need to change and loyalty needs to go.

    AB and Sanders are basically the same type of wr. small possession type guys that can have an occasional big game. they need a guy that Ben can rely on to make the big catch in a tough spot. AB and Sanders cant go up and take a ball away from a defender. if they have to fight for the catch they have no chance.

    its time to see what Moye and Wheaton can do given a real chance.

    i say start AB, Wheaton and Moye and bring in Sanders on 3rd down and 4 wr sets. yes this means Cotch sits, but he doesnt really bring anything special to the table.

    I don't think we need height. We need physical. We need veteran savvy. We thought we were getting savvy with Cotchery, but I don't see it. It isn't just the height.

    They need both. A 5'11" receiver can be as physical as he wants, not going to help much against a taller bigger CB. Moye gives them size and physicality.

    Dump off to the flats. Now that is funny.when do we ever do that? Ben is allergic to checkdowns. I don't know about Rainey he always seems to get tripped up by a blade of grass. Dunn I could see but how many opportunities would he get on returns and I think the roster spot may be able to be used better,mostly because I'm not sure how many chances Dunn would see.

    Yeah I checked his medical records. Why do you ever see us use our RBs in the passing game?

    Cool. I can't answer your question because I don't quite understand it, but I would suggest rewatching some recent games if you truly think Ben never uses a check down or a running back in the passing game.
