Brown, Dawkins, others out for Sunday

[Success]

In a way, I'm kind of encouraged that they didn't put Brown on IR.   Maybe his injury isn't as serious as some have speculated?  

 

Losing guys like Brown & Oliver is huge and impactful, but if both are back by the playoffs, we just have to figure out a way to get there.  

 

And we do have depth, especially on the O-line.  All teams are dealing w/ injuries this time of year.  The Steelers are missing some key players also.

Hopefully he'll slip around in his own goo ...

this health development is shocking. Both starting Ot's out at the same time?

 

a la  ******

I wonder if they will press our receivers and send 5-6 90% of the time?  🤔

Don't give them ideas.

it's not a great look for our OL. I will hope for the best as always.

It would be nice if the OC was capable of anticipating obvious difficulties, and then building a rational game plan to counter or at least mitigate them.

They will probably be able to create enough problems in protection with 4, with Dugger or Queen working a spy role.

 

I think Jackson Hoss needs to have about 50 snaps this game.

Online is probably where they have the most depth. May not see a drop in performance tbh.

How many times over the past 3 or 4 seasons have we faced backup olinemen and watched it not matter. The playoff game to Bengals in particular comes to mind. Brown is a big loss, hope the week off helps Dawkins. 

I think people treat backup olinemen getting forced in midgame due to injury and backup olinemen getting a week to prep for a game as the same situation and they’re very different

I agree 100%.  He needs to play a big role on Sunday.

While I agree to an extent, there is a reason someone is a backup verse a starter. Let’s hope both Van Demark and I am assuming Grable are able to hold it down and keep Josh clean and open holes for Cook.
