Where was Jerry working

Trusnik looked in over his head when put at MLB. I think Austin Spitler is the right call to replace Dansby at that position. If it were an outside spot then I'd put Trusnik in but on the inside, Spitler is closer to being good enough there than Trusnik.

I wonder if Hicks is fighting injuries. He's been held out of some practices.

They didn't specify. I'm assuming RG because Hicks isn't there today.

Some good news there.

Would like the team to tell us how long Hartlune is expected to be out. If this calf thing is lingering I don't wanna see him walking up and down the damned sidelines potentially slowing recovery.

****ing Hartline. When I read the injury report on him a month ago I must have missed the part that said "amputation".

I'm on Twitter @ut_pez

Totally agree Spitler is more natural fit
At MLB than Trusnik after watching both.

If Tannehill works with the 1s tomorrow he is starting this week imo.

This Brian Hartline injury is the strangest thing I've ever seen. How long has he been out now? It's been months and still no positive signs.

I don't think they know. It seems like he could be back any day at this point.

I'm starting to think Calf Injury is a bull**** code word for something else.

Could be. I'd think the beat writers would notice if he were rehabbing something other than the calf. My guess is that he may have tried to come back to early and reaggrevated at some point.

He has done virtually nothing against live opponents , he isn't going to be ready for start of the season imo.

Sounds like Tannehill will be your starter Friday night, since the coaches' effort this week is to mimic a regular season preparation week. I don't think they're going to fart with using a backup quarterback with the first team when they're trying to practice gameplanning.

Tannehill got most of the first team reps per Ben Volin.

The future is now.

Looks like Rishard Matthews' "foot in the door" play against the Panthers also got him an increase in opportunities.

That was no ordinary touchdown he scored. The door was closing on his chances of making the 53 man roster, fast...and he jammed his foot squarely in there to say not so fast. If he can capitalize and follow up, he makes this team.

As I said in another thread, coaches gonna coach. I wish it were otherwise, but with Garrard out there's no way around it.

Calf very well could be code for Achilles. Not a tear though, obviously.

I like Matthews. The way he forced himself in the endzone was telling of how bad he wants it.

I cant help but think Gadsden when I see him in that visor and number. Its unfortunate he also looks as slow as the old eighty six....

That touchdown was a Hakeem Nicks play.

If that's the case and this being his contract season before becoming a ufa
I believe his days will be numbered
What happened to him play wise because he started his career decent but
has 1 td in the past 26 games

Hartline = PUP List?

Since the team is game planning this week, thoughts about leaving Fasano back and help out on the right side of the line?

He can't go on the PUP, you have to start camp on the PUP in order to go on the regular season PUp.

2017 Dream Draft (3/17 – NFLDraftScout ~ Rankings used)

22. Zach Cunningham, LB, Vandy
54. Desmond King, S/DB, Iowa
97. Demarcus Walker, DE, FSU

Sounds like they are taking last looks at guys to make decisions on soon.

As for T-Hill, iirc he was doing the same things when Moore started the first gm.

Does appear he will be the guy, 5 win season here we come!

:woot:

BTW the new trade deadline (from wk #6 to wk #8) and injury exemption rules have not been approved by the players so the old rules are in effect meaning Hartline does not have many options.

Isn't there is a new I/R classification this year where a guy can be brought back after week 8?
