Reasonless Rooting

[Bretsky]

Now you jinxed it.

Bleacher report, 10/17/2014: Sherrod - doubtful (shoulder chip), AJ Hawk - probable (heart), Matthews - out (again).

Tough to call ita jinx when this has been the norm

It'll be tough for Sherrod, but maybe Joe's right: Bahk has too much of a head start, and enough history/trust with the coaches, that Sherrod doesn't have much chance to win the starting gig, at least not right away. But if he can show that he's getting better every week, he can clear the way for his future.

By the way, I recall coaches - MM even, I think - saying that after Sherrod had his effed up surgery corrected, he came back having re-formed his body completely - he's now muscled, and much stronger in his legs and up top.

Bahk has a headstart at being a crappy LT, I concur. The only reason he gets all this love is because fans are comparing him to Newhouse. Go back and watch some packer games and be totally honest while assessing Bahk. He just isn't cut out for LT.

I always knew Hawk lacked heart.

Chase Rettig is the 4th ranked QB in Boston College school history behind Doug Flutie, Glenn Foley, and some guy named Matt Ryan, and TT gets him as a college free agent. Check him out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWAd_d3awTA He's got a little bit of athleticism, and swagger. Does he remind you of anyone? My reasonless rooting is for him to push Tolzien and show what he can do in pre-season, forcing the staff to notice him as a developmental QB.

I'm surprized that he went undrafted. This QB prospect has game.

Looking at his feet work. He reminds me somewhat of Brett Favre.

The way he creates space to make a pass he reminds me more of Brett Favre.

Funny that you bring up Favre. That's exactly what I was thinking when I watched the clip. It's what you said, but also just his presence, his game intensity, and obvious competitive spirit. Can we call him Chase Brettig if he keeps looking like Favre? Just kidding. I hope he gets a shot this pre-season. Lately it's been tough for our back-up QB's to show out in those games. I know it's gotta be tough learning the system, playing with other prospects, little to no continuity, but individual talent should be on display.
