I would sit him if that's the case. We need him healthy for the rest of the year. But he did make the trip so it's possible he plays. Broaddus annoys me. He doesn't know squat at points.

really? He is probably one of two people to listen to.

Time to sign another vet LB: Ernie Sims, Stewart Bradley, Pat Angerer, Dan Conner, Andre Carter, maybe even Jonathan Sharpe

They just signed the Vet Tim Dobbins. He is pretty fast and has played quite a few games.

i'm beginning to wonder about ro just a lil bit..

i was his biggest fan at the start of this year.

No real reason not to be now -- he deserves healing time just like the others. A player's body doesn't care about the fans' preferences. It heals in its own sweet time. In fact, he's already been playing despite being hurt. I think this more than likely has everything to do with why he's staying that way. It's a two-edged sword. Play him now and he's likely to remain hurt longer. Let him rest and there's a chance for his recovery. It's a decision that only he and the staff needs to sort out.

I don't get how people think this the way the NFL is right now. If we're expecting to blow out the Jags, we're going to be disappointed.

The Jags have played pretty well over the past few weeks. They almost beat Pittsburgh and were neck and neck with Cincy with about 6 minutes left. This team has played much better since Bortles came in.

This game will not be the cakewalk that everyone here seems to think it is.

And you're right, he likes to play the games, but doesn't like to practice, this has been his MO elsewhere. For those of you who have played, it's irritating to have a guy not put in the work, week after week.

Drafting Hitchens is starting to look like a pretty smart move. When he went out last week I got worried about not having him on the field.

He hasn't played in a while prior to this season. He still getting into game shape. He's over exerting himself for this team and he gets nothing but kudos from me.

The bye will do him and our others who are injured some service.

I still think you should wonder about him. Ya know, just to keep things exciting.

i still don't know what happened on that play. nobody touched him.

Wilcox kicked him in the shin with the bottom side of his shoe. It's difficult to see, but if you use slow motion you can see it.

He is guessing McClain won't play. If that's the case, it's a huge blow to our defense. Fingers crossed he plays.

Y'all think he plays??

I think he will play. They said there was no structural damage. He got kicked in the shin.

Broaddus does not have a good track record of predictions.

Then again, who in the media does? He's closer to the action than us. I know he's speculating, I just hope his speculation is off on this one and RoMc is on the field Sunday.

With Crawford out, Ro iffy and Durant already gone this game just got a bit harder not to mention the QB situation.

The problem with Broaddus is twitter. He tries to answer a large number of questions on twitter and therefore does not really have time to think about each answer.

If he writes something in an article, then it's more likely that he gave it some thought, but his time is stretched too thin to really give everybody on twitter an accurate answer.
