Good chance Kumerow makes the team.  His been with the 1s alot

And they are running Breida as a gunner and jammer, that's Taiwan's current role.  If Breida can do it, AND play some actual RB Taiwan is expendable and opens a slot for Kumerow who also plays good ST.

If they are just gonna clock the ball. What’s the point of running the FG team on to do it? Just have the offense that’s already on the field do it…..

 

Youre actually wasting time running the FG team on to do something the offense which is already on the field could do

Actually, I'm impressed that they considered this.  In some scenarios, if properly executed, it could save a few seconds.  If after a long completion, having the ST assemble on field for the spike might be quicker than having the whole offense run down the field & get set to do so.

Josh Sucks when there’s a crowd, confirmed. 😩😱

 

Just one man's opinion but I thought he was pretty sharp today. I have no other practice to compare it to but Allen looked good to me, as much as one can in a no-pads practice and missing his top 2 receivers. He had one bad throw where he forced a ball that should have been picked. Other than that he threw like 90% of his passes to Beasley and Kumerow and they were mostly on target. Gabe Davis got almost no targets, it was kind of weird. The d-line also looked quite good. But again without pads it's hard to make sweeping judgments.

I'd love to see Breida take Jones' spot, I've never actually seen any evidence Jones is this amazing gunner. I've seen him fall asleep and let the ball get into the end zone before. In the Bojorquez era we were bad at pinning teams; most of that is on the kicker but coverage had its moments too.

Let’s Go BILL -Y!!

 

 

Kim Jones is not my favorite sideline reporter for ESPN.

I'd rather see Billy Buffalo tired to log and have him slowly rotated over a fire.

 

Buffalo Bill Cody, who team was named after, hunted Buffalos.

I got the impression from reporters that he was SO good the first three days that it skewed things

Wow that’s amazing news. I had no clue Brieda could play special teams. Holy crap we could actually have 3 active running backs on gameday who ALL play and contribute at running back!!!

I'm always amazed at how truly big these guys are.  I once stood side-by-side next to Bruce Smith when he was in civilan clothes and I couldn't get over how much bigger he was than me.  Seeing the final frame of this video and Star walking up the tunnel you get a sense of how wide and thick his core is.  He is a stump.

Yeah, versatility is huge.  Having lots of players who are only special teamers becomes a huge handicap to your team.  You have to have solid special teams play but having more than a couple specialists (not counting your punter, kicker and long snapper) can't do anything else effectively is going to hurt your depth.
