Bruce Carter: When does he start practicing ?

Bruce Carter: When does he start practicing ? I've heard nothing regarding his current status. Also would he be OLB or ILB ?

 

[EchoBrain22]

He will be in the middle. And more than likely will probably start practice after he comes on PUP on week 6. We cant keep a roster sport open for an unproven, injured linebacker.

This.

And you can't put him on the PUP if he hits the practice field.

put him on the shelf for the year and pray its not a wasted pick, also inform the scouting department once again, this will not bode well in our decisions for continously giving you a paycheck, you have to earn these things.


also would not hurt to give an email to decamillis special teams is required this year if you also wish to keep getting a paycheck.

one final email to garrett, campo bret maxie and HH are 30 percent on your head for the year. better make sure they contribute this year.

Seems like the burden of immediate production in this draft lays squarely on the shoulders of Tyron and Arkin, perhaps just Tyron if we are going to keep Holland. A little strange for a 6 win team.

I think this year is a rebuilding in stride year. In other words, we have a lot of pieces to compete, but the rebuilding aspect is changing the culture by way of purging certain players out as contracts and position depth allows. I'm pretty sure Garrett has a short list of players that he doesn't feel are perfectly in line with his philosophies but couldn't get rid of them due to team composition or contracts, this year.

Why should we need to rebuild not 18 months from going 11-5 and winning the East? Surely it's not because we lost Leonard Davis, Marion Barber, and Ken Hamlin.

i dont know about other people, but when i use the "rebuild" word, i also include coaches and im not one of thes epoeple whos going to assume Ryan is going to do much of anything in his first year. Believe me, some teams wont jump on a one year wonder, and this is going to be a year for Ryan, since most people wont consider the Raiders as a true test, and i dont even know what you'd consider the Browns. But he'll have zero excuses here.

Also it could be deemed we dont know what we're getting out of Garrett, for all this so called stamp on this team im not happy with Campo, Maxie , HH and Decamillis still part of the organization, thats my opinion tho.

We dont even know what Garrett is going to get out of this group and we dont even know how many more players are going to be purged, you cant have a mass exodus on a sports team sometimes. Or at elast chance one.

If the team was perfectly fine, they wouldn't have removed Wade, who was the HC for that 11-5 team. People are afraid to use the word rebuild, because they think you lose all hope of competing. Like I said, I believe we're rebuilding while trying to maintain a certain level of competitiveness. I don't believe for a second that the philosophies and players Wade was using and willing to accept fall in line with Garretts. This doesn't get fixed in one offseason.

He seems destined for the PUP list. Week 6 sounds about right and hopefully we can work him into some nickle packages down the stretch so he's ready for a much larger work load next season.

 

[jblaze2004]

idk about PUP because that would seem to delay his developement. Don't if he goes on PUP he cannot practice with the team for the 6 weeks? I rather have him on the field and practicing as soon as possible than to but him on PUP. He should be close. Laron Landry torn his achillies after bruce carter torn his, idk if the tear is similiar or not, and landry is practicing with the skins, well was until he tweak his hammy.

I rather us not put him on PUP if he is ready to practice next week, hopefully.

from what I've read they like Nagy more than Arkin on the OL

Because there is more to the roster of a team than a W/L record. For some players 18 months can equal significant decline. For others, strides forward.

We are rebuilding, or contemplating rebuilding two units of our team as we speak. O-line & Secondary. Its not an entire roster rebuild like 1989 but I do consider us as doing "significant renovations" to our 2010 roster which was 6-10 for more reasons than just Wade Phillips IMO.

In the present tense. Not necessarily the future. Nagy looks to be more NFL ready.

 

[CoCo]

Regarding Carter.

To me, 2011 is a redshirt year. If he proves otherwise, wonderful. But I could care less what reports are until he actually steps on the practice field and takes meaningful reps.

Nagy will probably be starting the season at LG, I also think Demarco Murray will see a lot of action early, as will Harris.

 

[realtick]

I'd actually prefer him to start out on PUP and get the extra time to rehab and heal.

Huh? You think the scouting department just forgot to mention his injury to Jerry and Jason when they made their report?
