    A lot of yinz may know this already, but I just watched the news & I wanted to share what they said.

    -- Ben is day to day. They're gonna try to get him involved in practice tomorrow.
    (Personally I'd like it if we'd throw more short passes- I hate seeing those 40 yard passes on 3rd down. It would also be nice to get the ball out of Bens hands a little faster.)

    -- Antonio is still in concussion protocol. Sadly, they said that it "doesn't look good" so I don't think he's gonna be able to play.
    (That sucks but I don't think it means we're gonna lose. Martavis, DHB, & Markus will have to step up.)

    -- DeAngelo went to see a foot specialist today so it's up in the air for him.
    (This has to be worse than a sprain. I'd obviously rather have DeAngelo, but I think we'll be ok with Todman & Toussaint.)

    I was watching Browns snap chats and he was doing some kind of "recovery" on his legs. At least we can say he thinks he's going to play lol

    Aditi kinkhabwala just said that Antonio Brown just parked in a handicap spot so it doesn't look good for him

    Oh boy!... Not the handicap spot:facepalm:

    I think Ben is playing mind games with denver, ben says he hasnt tested his shoulder with any long passes, what if he can throw deep but their defense plays up not expecting any deep throws and he slashes them deep, it may only work once for a TD but 1 TD in this game could be big..........

    If that is the case, play action deep to Bryant on the first play.

    Bens got torn ligaments, I doubt he's throwing anything deep. The pass that got AB lit up, is probably about as far as he can throw it.

    I think we will need 2 of them ,but as I stated in the other thread it is easier to throw the lob ball than the laser ball ..I mean a 15 yard out from opposite hash to other sideline is like 40 or 50 yards , and it has to be winged all the shoulder arm upper body hips and everything ...A nice 25 or 30 yard seam can be flicked with the wrist with less strain on the shoulder ...

    Another thing Haley should employ is booting him out and running the WR route tree to him ...I have some experience working with QB'S with bum shoulders . Bringing the WR'S towards him along with getting the QB to the edge so he can attack the los really helps as well..
