Injuries

[Big Daddy]

Either way - being carried off without any weight-bearing is not a good sign for the rest of the season for him, and I feel for him - that really sucks.

Oh ****! Now they got a problem.

Going to be really interesting to see what they do at CB. Holm over to CB, Griffin to HB, Kramdi to SAM and Kelly at S? Maybe bring Woodbey up, he could back up at SAM

It'll just be Vaval getting the promotion.
 
Everything else stays the same. Need another body for depth.

As expected Bonds did suffer a season ending injury. That's tragic for the young player and could carry over into the 2026 season delaying his chance to return to the team.

OTOH, Logan, Lawson and Vanterpool all listed as " full " at practice so each may be a choice to add to the AR.

Lawson should be a slam dunk over Schemkel. The other two are ratio choices which we've discussed.

Regardless, it's better to have choices than not, but it's not certain we see either play this week.

I'd like to know how the team ranks Wallace compared to Vanterpool beyond the ratio issue.

Ouch. Guy got double moved so hard he blew a knee? Wasn't expecting that.

[LXTSN]

How would we feel about Purifoy?
Wasn't he pretty solid? Don't believe he's on a roster yet?

Nothing to do with how good the move was.  Knee blowups are very common on stop/direction change.  It's what happens.  It's partially (bad) luck, partially something else I've found out I won't reveal at this time...

I'm curious: did they specify exactly what ligament tore?

Has Holm ever played CB?

Here's the thing... I'd rather have the SBs locked down than the WRs.  That means put your talent at HB, just like we already do.

Inside passes to SBs are far easier for QBs to make.  I'd rather make them throw wide at weird angles, which are much harder to complete (unless your name is VAJ).

As such, the "newer" or "weaker" DB goes to CB, the lockdown guys stay at HB.

I say we airlift, if not immediately, then soon.

You're right it doesn't matter but the move ummm...effective.

I'm not even sure why Woodbey is on the PR. IMO he's not a SAM candidate. He is a WIL or MLB candidate and that's a position we have all sorts of depth.

At 235 lbs I don't see him as being a cover guy which you'd need at SAM.

Now he might be a great candidate at those other positions but PR spots are limited. I would have like another player that could step in somewhere in the secondary when injuries happened.  That has now happened.

So we've got Allen but I don't know if he can play elsewhere besides at safety. Perhaps he's very versatile and we may find out this week.

If he's not activated, that tells me we made a depth error in not having another CB/DB on the PR.

It's not a direct knock on Woodbey but the decisions about the PR combinations for depth needs. Not having another DT while Woods was out would be another example.

Don't keep us in suspenders. What's left to reveal? Surgery said to be a success by Bonds himself.

[TecnoGenius]

That's the understatement of the year.  We made huge errors in the off-season at CB.  Bonds barely starts on any other team.  Bridges wouldn't make another team PR.  Yet we bet the whole season on them.

Parker was the only real backup, and CB is not the desired spot for him, even though he's good and has done it before (2023).

Knowing that couch sitter Lawson would answer the phone helped a bit, but he's new to the corps and clearly will take weeks to get into the WFC groove.

When Ford left, we should have been signing a lockdown league-top-10 corner.  ESPECIALLY when TC came & went and we didn't find the next D.Alford or Nichols or Holm.

Now it's panic time and we must pray Parker comes back so we'll only be in "mediocre" mode instead of "complete poop show" mode.  And that still doesn't address the other side... What a mess.
