  • Possibly missing 9 starters, how concerned are you?

    Four for sure:
    Jennings
    Benson
    Woodson
    Bishop/Smith

    Two likely are out:
    Perry
    Shields

    Three might be out:
    Kuhn
    Nelson
    Raji

    It is a testament to TT, that I am not more concerned about this than I am. Sure, it's not a good thing, but I am surprised at how much I am looking forward to watching their replacements, and not overly concerned that the replacements will be awful

      I'm not concerned. Being a fan is more of a dispassionate intellectual exercise for me.

      Statistical analysis entertains me, allows me to construct arguments that frequently contradict conventional wisdom, and throttles back dark urges to fire up the chainsaw and ask the neighbor one last time to cut his grass to the Homeowner Association's prescribed height.

        They need to have some way to keep focus against the hapless Jags, so let em rest, and make the others pick up the slack.

          At least it will take a lot of pressure off MM trying to decide who the inactives will be!
          If you are cleared medically to play, and you are not the last QB on the depth chart - suit up!

            Did Finley get cleared to play for sure? Last I heard he was still dinged up.

              I'd be concerned if we were not playing the Jags without MJD.

                Since he did play last week, and there were no reports of him aggravating or re-injuring his shoulder, I assume he is at least as ready as he was last week.

                  Let me revise the list, based on the report today:

                  Seven are out for sure:
                  Jennings
                  Benson
                  Woodson
                  Bishop/Smith
                  Perry
                  Shields
                  Kuhn

                  One is a game time decision
                  Nelson

                  One is probable

                    Kuhn
                    They were with all but Kuhn on that list last week. It'll be interesting to see what they do on 3rd down passing situations without him. He's usually the main pass protector there. Maybe they'll give Green a shot. Or maybe it'll be Crabtree or DJ Williams.

                      I'm always concerned when there is an injury. Still very surprised that Shields is still out. Must have been more damaging then led on.

                      Not having Nelson and Kuhn, kinda sucks. Nelson has been on fire and Kuhn is the 3rd down back. At this point, I'd rather see Starks on 1st and 2nd downs and Green on 3rd downs - I do not want to see Starks on 3rd down. If I recall correctly, Starks is horrible at pass protection. Besides the usual suspects (Cobb, Finley & Jones) - I'd love to see Driver, DJ Williams and Boykin get more passes their way.

                      Gotta have more Driver - like Gotta have more cowbell!

                        Walden has been playing much better; and far better than Perry in pass coverage, so that's not a huge loss, except for Perry's development. Nelson would be a pretty big hit; otherwise, carry on.

                          So long as ARod isn't on the list I am confident against the jags.

                            I say throw a couple of titanium plates on Woodson's collar bone and get him back out there.

                              Still no decision on Woodson. Is the "designated to return" still available? Is there any chance he could play again this season? You have to think so or they would've IR'd him by now.
