Winnipeg @ BC the Rematch

I think many are jumping the gun on both Cooley and Peterson.  They are both rookies and really have proven nothing.  Even one great game by Peterson doesn't mean anything, because first game rookies often blow things up because of lack of film (not to diminish his initial success).

It would take sustained success over many games for either to be considered to be "worth" anything in terms of trade or other-team interest.  Until then the IMP is just one of many "dime a dozen" hopefuls, and Peterson is just another JA27 (not a bad thing, mind you).

We can all be hopeful though!  They certainly appear to have the "it" factor so far!

We did acquire Peterson in trade along with moving up in the global draft.

Any/all of the rookies, or guys who were mostly on PR in '24, will be "willing to return to the PR".  If they're not, then they'll get Gaitor'd and Rutledge'd.

For example, Vanterpool, Randolph and Peterson should all have no expectations to be on AR.  And the fact that we've been practicing with Wallace at LG not only hints that we'll go with 3 NAT OL (and thus Vatnerpool to PR), but we're almost certainly ARing (and probably starting!) Cooley.

Again, let's not get ahead of ourselves on all of these "expected PR" guys being on the PR.  That's the normal dev route.  No one should get a big head.  If nothing else they've all seen how easy it is to get on the AR as ratios / IRs dictate.

Peterson won't be bumped to PR whether Cooley is added or not. The conversation is about adding depth at RB, regardless of who starts.

Normally 2nd year players that didn't play much are willing to return to PR. That's not always true but teams seem to be pushing some to 1 game IR with higher SMS in 2025.

We should see the depth chart late today or early tomorrow.

Doesn't matter now, but Re Collaros suspension for not answering a phone call....

When I get a call on my cell phone.. it announces who is calling.

Why didn't the drug testing callers phone do that?

Of course he would have immediately answered.

It could also say unknown number or the name of the lab or company or person that Zach doesn't know.

There are times when I get 4-5 random calls a day. Some are automated messages, some in other languages, some just random surveys. I don't listen to any of their messages before deleting.
