So who do we expect back for the patriots game?

[Bootz]

Next week, then?

Yes. The team is away from the facility and doing whatever they want.

Rehab people still getting rehabbed, or at least they should be. But teams got a well deserved week off.

Good time to look at possible trades before deadlines and give coaches time to review and reevaluate some things before implementing our go forward plan.

I think I actually like Tez at X rest of season. Even small, has the feet to keep even top CBs honest. Emeka bounce between Z and Y. Godwin ramps up with Y snaps. Revisit after the next bye week and Evans is back.

I don't expect Luke back. I hope OL is one of those things they take a deep look at. Maybe Barton back out at tackle? Maybe it's Ben time?

I would think Bowles told his players to enjoy their down time but prepare to contribute. We may not get no one back and added Parrish as another loss. I wonder who Bowles has that he can play slot cornerback, when Parrish went out was that the first time McCollum played NB? Who else might he use if needed?

Baker and the o-line have to figure out how to score more points and get receivers clicking. Bottom line we have to execute our plays. These back-ups need to have their hall of fame moments.

[mdb1958]

Bredeson G 523 snaps (110 at center)?
Barton C 523 (110 at LT)?
Mauch RG 138
Haggard RG 246
Jordan LG 110 RG 97 guessing?
Klein? 84 snaps (don't know if LG or RG)
Feeney 59 snaps (all at RG I think)

Wirfs LT 313
Heck RT 453

[Bootz]

You forgot Wirfs 1 snap at RT

[Central_Buc]

Desmond Watson 1 snap at CB

Come on man....

[mdb1958]

You forgot Wirfs 1 snap at RT

When Mauch went down did you expect Haggard to step in

It also seems they were poorly prepared when Goedeke went down because I thought Heck was back up to Wirfs

Where are they at with Chukwuma

[mdb1958]

Bootz must be waiting for somebody to get me my answers.

Haggard struggled week 3 and then was better 4-6. Got hurt against SF.

Heck is the swing tackle. He backs up both positions.

Chuk is active on game days so seems like he’s next up? Doubt he’s ready. But, he might have to be. Wonder if they’re taking the bye to get him ready if Goedeke isn’t.

No. I didn't even know who he was. Seems that spot was primed for Klein but he hasn't been good either. He's been worth. Haggard has been like everyone else on the right side since it went to hell in Houston: Part of the shit show.

It also seems they were poorly prepared when Goedeke went down because I thought Heck was back up to Wirfs

Has been one of my main issues with Licht. He seems to hate drafting backup OL with earlier picks.

Where are they at with Chukwuma

Absolutely no where. He played 23 total games in 5 years at Georgia State. 12 starts over 2 seasons. Had minimal football background to begin with. And was a UDFA. It should be of no surprise that he's only played ST snaps. People automatically assumed the "highest signing bonus for a UDFA" meant something special. Just meant we wanted him badly.

He's not ready. May not be ready in 2026 even. I think fans take for granted how hard this game is to begin with. At a professional level it's extremely hard and most won't make it. He's got a long, long road ahead of him.

Someone needs to watch the Blindside.

Great movie. And according to the subject, a great piece of fiction.
