Vickerson extended, Ball's hurting....

Sounds like a serious problem

 

washburn can turn any d-lineman into a god.

 

that really is the truth.

robaire smith makes a bunch of money and goes to the texans and doesn't do a thing. jevon never had more than 7.5 sacks as an eagle. antwan odom goes from 8 sacks last year to 3 this year.

i'm sure in a year or two someone will pay jacob ford a lot more money than he's worth and he'll become very average.

 

agreed about Washburn. Fisher is one good administrator. With the exception of his DC his staff is top notch. Munchak and Washburn have to be the best OL/DL coaching combo in football, not just NFL but all of football. Gotta love Cecil and McGinnis as well. Expecially Cecil. I wonder just how aggressive Finnegan would have been with another DB coach?

 

Finnegan and Mason...THAT'S going to be an AWESOME battle. Mason loves to talk smack and Finnegan is no stranger to getting in someone's face. Look for a fight.

Do you guys remember D-Mase getting the best of a few corners on like 3rd and short and getting them to get unnecessary roughness or unsportsmanlike conduct and we'd get the first down? The guy had some talent getting under peoples skin, but Finnegan will smack that old ******* down, HARD!

 

Finny needs to be a pest and just bait Mason into making a stupid mistake. no big penalties, we don't have much room for big penalties.

 

So if Ball can't go on Sat, who will be in the rotation on the right side? Jason Jones is listed as 3rd on the depth chart... has he played at RDE this year? Does Hayes/Ford flip from left to right at all, or maybe Tony Brown alternates between DT and DE?

It sounded like Kyle would maybe play but they'd like to limit his snaps to be less than the normal 90%. This is where it's so nice to have guys that can play all over the line. Wouldn't be shocked to see AH get some snaps outside again - I love to see him line up on the edge licking his chops.

 

Ford has been playing the right side all year as well as Hayes playing the left.
They will be the backup DEs used in the rotations.

Sure in passing situations we might see the DEs and DTs flip but other than that weird formation to improve the pass rush Tony Brown or Jason Jones have not played DE all season.
