Most teams spread the field out with 3 or more WRs so it will definitely be interesting to see how much Grant plays in the nickel packages. Miami (OH) will chuck it all over the place and we will be in Nickel much of the game. I would definitely like to see Bennett move inside with Hankins and let Simon and Spence rush off the edge. Or you could move Simon inside where he is even more affective and let Bennett play SSDE. Simon's SO year when he played inside with Cam was his best year imo. He was nearly unblockable in pass rush situations. Saturday isn't coming soon enough!

Way to burn the midnight oil Dave. Really liked the DL insight.

I think Bryant ends up being the star and oj plays as. Of course we'll see if he has made it to that point. If not bogard will step in and take it.

Good question considering we haven't even seen them go live. (We've seen a total of three practices.) I'm basing that off of what the coaches have said. Perhaps Meyer is sandbagging, but when he mentions the WRs that are ready to go, he doesn't mention Thomas. Again, that could be a way of motivating the young wideout, but I expected to hear more positive reviews regarding Thomas during camp after what we saw first hand in the spring.

I am a huge fan of Rod Smith, don't know why exactly....lol..but I really hope he seizes the back up RB slot to Hyde. nothing against Brionte, I like him too!

Well if the Inside Access program was any indication, Meyer ripped him pretty good about his lack of effort. That might have something to do with the lack of glowing comments...

Thomas had a great spring. What happened that he's a disappointment? Just wondering. From the deep south...thanks.
