Practice Tweets 8/15

wow rico lost to someone 80lbs lighter...

Sounds like he got his bell rung,,,I don't like hearing or seeing something like that, as the successive dings to the bell on down the road compound in severity,I got clocked in the left temple fist fighting about 20 years ago and that spot is still alittte tender,,,as big and strong as Rico is a couple of in game helmet hits could easily sideline him, for good.

Nate Newton made a great point and said he's left handed and at RT your initial punch comes with your right. I think that's giving him trouble

He played LT in college, so the footwork as well as the punch is completely opposite, and if he is left handed, then that may complicate it.

Looks like Gathers will be missing some quality practice time. That stinks.

It's really a shame Green can't shake the injury bug. He could be a legit OL in this league.

Agree. He's easily one of the best 5 when healthy

 

[lwehlers]

probably true. he really needs the playing time.

yep, he'll probably enter concussion protocol and be out for the next 2 preseason games

 

[lwehlers]

looks like a tightend is going to have to help Collins a lot in games to slow down pass rushers.

I'll give Collins another week or so but I wouldn't be opposed to putting him back at LG and Green at RT is he's healthy.

I thought all along this would be the best way to go. Just don't think they were confident Chaz could stay healthy and figured it would be easier to replace a LG mid season than RT

Meh -- might've popped him square in the gonads for all we know!

nasty

I deleted it, since it was a head-to-head hit -- unless his nuts are higher up than I thought!

O RLY

I'm officially worried about Lael Collins. Not because Taco beat him for a sack, but because he refuses to extend his arms in pass protection to keep the DE off his body and from getting underneath him.

 

[diefree666]

Lets see. How long has Collins been in pads as a RT? Two weeks, going on three?
And some gomers are already giving up on him. Talk about stupid.

WHOO-HOO!

Not giving up with him, but it's three weeks until he goes against JPP and then Von Miller. And if backup OLBs and Taco are giving him fits, Im not sure three weeks is enough time for him to keep JPP and Von off Dak.

Well, I was too, so I guess we're even . . . As long as Rico is OK, it's all good!

that rico is the key

ARE they giving him fits or is he holding his own and they occasionally make a play?

 

[Bullflop]

True -- he's practically achieved god-like status by now -- kinda like the ancient pharoahs.

you see when only one play is isolated it seems like the only plays you see are the ones where he is getting beat.
