Problem was and is EDS. Counting on Tretter was not realistic this season.


So, it's ok to count on a rookie, except if he's from Cornell. Cornell players must be in their 2nd NFL season minimum before they can be relied on, because Matt Birk went to Harvard and didn't start right away. Am I getting this right?

 

1. My original post was that they went into this season relying on EDS at Center.

 

2. A poster responded and said that's why they drafted Tretter (indicating that Tretter was somehow going to win the spot this year - had he not been injured).

 

3. I stated that it was very unlikely that a rookie from Cornell would be the starting Center and the team was stuck with EDS for  2013.

 

4. The poster then brought up Birk.

 

5. I merely pointed out that this was meaningless as Birk did not start as a rookie, which was the original point regarding Tretter.

After that muff he was done from my armchair GM seat.

Yep, needed to be done.

 

Didn't have much choice...

-- didn't want to use Cobb after losing Finley - depleted receiving options.

-- didn't want to use Franklin - only healthy RB.

There's no magic fixes here, I'm afraid.

I agree. It sure looked bad for Cobb. Being wheeled out on the cart usually means the end of the season. I hope Jones can heal up quickly.
