People have to step up. Title: Very true, but my concern is we are Post by: VOLMAN on August 08, 2013, 03:30:12 EDT His backup, Corey Vereen, is having an MRI today. Hopefully it's not serious, as he was showing signs of being a very good pass rusher. People have to step up. scarce on talent to begin with and at some point it becomes "who do we have that we can plug in at this position" and when a team, which is not very talented or deep to begin with, has to resort to playing people in new positions....well, it ain't good. We've had years of scarce talent, new coaches, new schemes and I had hoped for no "new problems" for this team and staff to allow confidence to develop and familiarity with positions and schemes. Let's pray, well I know you don't but you can take it as "good thoughts", for an injury free year.

Thankfully defensive line is one of the places we could absorb an injury or two, but I really, really hope that Vereen's knee thing is minor. Smith may be back as soon as the opener. Title: Re: J.

Hope Vereen's issue isn't serious. Title: Re: J. Smith fractured his thumb....that sucks! Please no more injuries! Post by: SmokeyJoe on August 08, 2013, 05:16:01 EDT Bummer. Others can step up. Not great depth, but enough for now. Need Vereen.
