Ekeler Practicing

Recommended Posts

I was really hoping we wouldn't have to deal with him this week and just have to focus on stopping their passing game.  Having Ekeler in their line up is another added head-ache for our run challenged D..  This feels like the toughest 3-7 team we have ever had to play (at least in recent memory)

It would be nice to have Milano out there to cover him out of the backfield. He doesn't really scare me as a runner, but the receiving threat is real and I've seen enough of Klein "in coverage" for what it's worth.

“Klein in coverage” sounds like one of those depressing 10-minute black and white “short movies” that are nominated for Oscars.

I agree the idea of Ekeler in the passing game is worrisome.  I remember the last time the Chargers came into town... and our old friend Anthony Lynn took advantage of a similar matchup with in Melvin Gordon and a rookie Trumaine Edmonds...   I hope I'm absolutely wrong and I am just a victim of deep scars from the drought, but I'm genuinely concerned that this game is going to be very tough one to pull out.

I get what you're saying.

 

Not saying he won't play but do you think he'll be game ready since he's missed five games (I believe)?

I don’t know - I would imagine they’d be cautious and he will be limited this week and will make a decision on Friday, either way I think they will ease him back in and he won’t get a ton of snaps.

If he does play, your thoughts about him being on a snap count would be ideal.

 

Thanks for the back and forth, bro!

No matter, we need to beat their best...every week.
