plus some plain old 1 and 2 hole power leads... You ready Janovich?

give me Malik McDowell with a FB running start at the goal line ..  ? 

Loks like a heavy dose of inside zone could be in order this week.... plus some plain old 1 and 2 hole power leads... You ready Janovich?

Harbison "reverted" to IR? IR is getting very crowded.... very...

A related IR question that l don’t know the answer to… Can an IR designation be made retroactive like is done in baseball? For example, if OBJ cannot go for this next game, can they put him on IR retroactive to the first game of the season since he didn’t play in the first 2 games? This would mean he would be eligible to return after the third game. Or does the designation have to start when it’s declared, meaning he would miss the next 3 games as of the point he’s officially put on IR?

The short answer is no retroactive IR... but help is on the way... He's baaacckkk!!!

Or maybe Natson, as he could take over kick returner roles as Peoples and Felton will have prominent roles in the offense. 

Felton has looked good on returns (at least I had that much right about him... the rest of my draft time take? not so much).

In fact I owe at least one someone around here an apology for clinging to his Pro day times, which were unremarkable. While I still do not see fast, his feet are quick. Was never more apparent than in the above mentioned TD run. Still not sure how he kept them away from a defender or two trying to trip him up from behind.

But yeah... on the whole he can't contribute on kick returns what he can in a spot play here and there on Offense... but when JoJo gives one up, then he's done, and I'm sending in Hunt for kick returns.

He can and likely will return this year. Going to IR means he has to miss a minimum of 3 games.

Can Jarvis return this season or does IR mean done for the year still? I forget the different things like pup and ir etc

He can and likely will return this year. Going to IR means he has to miss a minimum of 3 games.

1. Landry will take it easy for a month and he’s back in the fold again - the time off allows us to develop some of the backups.  He’s back for the division games 

2. Schwartz looks okay we didn’t know too much about him this preseason and he had a very good game against KC.

3. Felton looks more than capable to fill into a short pass gaming role and cause opposing Defensive coordinators to gameplan each week for his presence.

4. OBJ back very soon.

5. DPJ and Hollywood have shown in the past that they are more than capable.

6. We can run three TE sets often.

7. We can run the ball often.

8. Last years depleted roster shows that we can survive without a HC, other key contributors and almost but not quite survive with an entire WR Corp. out.

I'm more worried about the D getting pressure on Fields/Dalton.
