Or EJ gainse brought in, due to the Wallace situation. Seems like a better use of a roster spot. I think McKenzie does too much stuff to sit......there are plenty of candidates for this Foster Krosft The TE that commits a penalty every other play If Wallace cant go you can roll with the player behind him and not activate a corner? We have some guys playing safety that can also play corner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real good he is back, especially with Watt being back. Need all hands, even for an 80% Watt. I think having both of them active helps against Watt. You need to play full effort vs Watt even when he is injured and defenses try to wear offense lines down and this will help keep both fresh. In addition it will be useful at times to have a 6th lineman of field and Ford is great at run blocking and Nsekhe is better at containing a speed rusher on those plays.

CommonCents Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Foster looked like a beast that one game on the few crossers he ran. I think he got nicked up that game or the next. If he is healthy I’m not entirely sure Duke is a better start. The Texans lack speed in the secondary and Foster could be a key in exploiting that. Also, game is in a dome and on turf. Allen should have his best chance at a few deep balls in months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if what happened in the game wasn’t a scare more than a real injury. The exact type of play occurred where he got rolled up from behind. Maybe a mental scare. Either way glad he was practicing and hope he is a full go Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have some guys playing safety that can also play corner Slick isn't going to sit. They deliberately ran a TON of ghost motion and jet sweeps with him in week 17 to get it on film for Saturday. I fully expect that ghost motion will be a big part of their offensive game plan. Expect a few misdirection plays from it--an Allen sweep, a dump off to Knox/Kroft, a naked wheel route for a deep shot, etc. If he's not in the game, you don't get the buy in from the defense's film study.

He did it vs. the Jets at it cost them 12 yards. Those are twelve yards that don't show up on a stat sheet. If it doesn't show up in the stats I guess it’s not important. Roberts is vastly superior the McKenzie as a returner. Sloppy ST would kill a team who relies on defense to win. Not sure why many fans don't realize the importance of that phase of the game.

LSHMEAB Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I'm really hoping Shaq can play. That's the injury that concerns me. We're gonna need to create pressure on Watson in order to win this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because he hasn't broken a long one yet this year doesn't mean it can't happen Saturday. If he did we would probably just be flagged for illegal block in the back.

They have done that every week for over a month. Maybe ran the actual Jet sweep twice. Edited January 2, 2020 by Scott7975 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Wallace has no chance to play. They will be fine with Fuller out and K. Johnson. Need Lawson the most. Nsekhe being able to go would be a plus but Ford will play the entire game. I would bench Foster for Duke. I just don't see what Foster brings that Brown and McKenzie can not. Duke brings size and hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve mixed it in for sure; Sunday it felt like every other snap was Slick in ghost motion. Either way, I think they’ve been playing the long game with it, and I expect to see some payoff.
