Just wondering if any of those guys played Sunday.   I never heard their names called.

 

Speaking of trying to change things up, Lacy was great last season, but why they heck

don't they give Starks or Harris a few reps if Lacy can't find a hole?

 

Sincerely,

Baffled in Boise

HELP! Iā€™m being held against my will. I only have a few seconds befor

Evidentally Janis isnt making much of an impression on the practice field or he would be playing more one would guess,he has the speed to separate yet he isnt given the chance in games so it must be he isnt impressing the coaches in practice, yet some players never shine in practice,they wait for the games to shine.hopefully we will get to see him alot Thurs night.

This is very frustrating.  They're doing the same thing with Bostick.  They want these guys to know everything before playing, instead of trying to get them in with a small package of plays.  Even if they get 10 snaps a game - both of them are potential game breakers.  Why wouldn't you try to use that?

 

The rationale of the coaching staff is that the defense will figure it out, but if it's only a couple of plays, and that builds week after week (or some nuance is added to change the look or their role in those plays), it won't be an issue. While it's a valid approach, I don't see it as a smart, or at least innovative, one.

Because opposing teams will quickly figure out which plays such players know, and therefore what's coming when they're on the field.

It's not as if the 2014 Packers can simply execute the power sweep well enough that nobody can stop it even when they know it's coming.

Sticking these players on the field to use them as decoys may be a valid approach, but it's not particularly smart, either.

When did Brandon Bostick become a game breaker?

 Why so he can screw up and be the cause of a potentially game changing play?

 

Janis obviously has the physical tools but he comes from a DII school. You think he understands NFL defensive coverages, schemes and can read them and adjust on the fly?
