What if Snelling is a no go - insanefalconfan - 12-01-2010 10:44 PM
Who do you think goes in for the passing situations? Turner or will we see more of gatrell

If Antone Smith is available, you'll see him ahead of Gartrell Johnson. I'm thinking, though, that neither Snelling nor Smith will be available, and that the staff won't want to put together a game plan that relies in any meaningful way on Johnson. That means a heavy dose of Ovie, both as a runner and as a receiver out of the backfield.

We'll have to find someone else to spell Turner, back up Mughelli, dominate on special teams (does he do that anymore actually) and drive the team bus.

I would seriously consider giving Weems some work out of the backfield. What do you guys think?

As long as we're teaching players new positions in mid season lets let Turner and Ovie follow Peele into the hole.

A few plays on third down every now and then wouldn't hurt. He could easily be told his specific assignment on every play and he's a tough player so he wouldn't be afraid to throw a block.

He can catch, too. We seem to be dialing up more protection with Sivek at TE and all

So his neck is hurt bad from that play by the goal line? I didn't notice if he came back in the game after that because I was there and was more caught up than usual. Considering that his main role has been as a receiver, Ovie should be able to cover for him a bit.
And since Sonnyjim mentioned Svitek at TE, who thinks he's gonna catch a pass before the year is out?

I think we should bring back TJ Duckett and try him out at noseguard.
[Sorry, couldn't let that one slide. We do need some better wheels in the backfield for a change of pace, and Weems does seem pretty versatile so who knows?]

I'm not 100% sure but I thought I heard it was a hamstring.
