Injury Updates??

[RashanGary]

I haven't read or listened to much of anything this year. What's going on with Davon House?

He has been full participant in practice for at least a week if not more (likely more but can only positively remember last week's report). He just doesn't seem to be able to leap Shields or Hayward.

He is not replacing Bush due to special teams. So unless they add a body on defense, he's going to need to pass someone else to get to the active roster.

"Packers have put LB DJ Smith and RB Brandon Saine on injured reserve and claimed RB Johnny White on waivers from the Bills."

Its Manning time.

Its Manning time.

Not the way MM talked today. Sounds like Manning's reps will be mostly on ST. Expect some combination of Jones, Francois and Lattimore to replace Smith. Also, Hawk may play more in sub-packages.

Will he be in space?

Initially, but he likely will get more practice opportunities to show that he can also contribute in other ways.

Wasn't he considered to be a strong blitzer in pre-draft reports?

Yes Manning was considered a young pass rushing demon.

I hope to see some Francois in dime. Not sure if he is sound enough elsewhere, but he made quite an impression last year in limited reps for his pass D. Like an octopus back there.

[Packers4Glory]

Francois and Lattimore are intriguing guys to me.

Did Grant get picked up yet? he knows the system and we know him. He's got something left to give.

[Joemailman]

Grant is a Redskin.

Good point. Good in coverage, weak in run support. We can call him Octopussy.

yeah I just read we signed some dude from Buf.

Watch the physical play Manning brings to the position -- a faster Bishop.

Oftentimes, Capers goes with experience over rookie talent initially. After the pain of playing the wrong players, Capers inserts the talented rookies and whalla -- improvement.

I doubt they would have signed Grant, even if he had been available. They seemed more interested in signing a guy to replace Saine on STs. They said they wanted to get him in ASAP and start working with him on ST responsibilities. I don't think Grant would have been that guy.

Hasn't the knock on Francois been that he plays good zone pass D but isn't quick enough to match up 1 on 1? I could have sworn a coach made that comment sometime but I might be imagining it.

He replaced Bishop for a few plays last year in coverage in the game against SD when Gates was going apeshit 1-on-1. He did noticably better than Bish in that game in that respect. (Hard to blame Bishop for getting roasted by Gates for 77 8-yard passes to Antonio Gates - he made tackles after the catch)
