9/17 Practice Updates

We are not getting alot of detail because of limited media access but agree that Misi probably needs another week and Tuner may get a little playing time. The Pouncey decision is the most intriguing, my first thought was there is no way he plays this week, probably won't but there is an outside chance I guess that he just might.

Can't see the doctors clearing him to play this week. I can see London next week but I've also heard some people think that it won't be until after the bye just to be cautious.

Listening to Chris Chambers yesterday on the Finsiders radio he said that the tape of Pouncey practicing made him think Pouncey looked good and should be ready for the Raiders.

Nice. We also got Jordan Tripp back. Did he practice? He'll be a big help on special teams. That's the same special teams that really hurt us against Buffalo.

Not having Misi back yet is a problem. But it looks like Jamall Charles may not play. That will help to counteract this.

I'm very concerned about Dallas Thomas starting at right guard. He was awful in the preseason. Don't think Billy Turner will take his place. Not enough practice time.

Dallas Thomas played much better than Shelley in the Bills game. Shelley is a better run blocker but gets beat at the snap on nearly every pass play. We really need Turner to get up to speed because neither Shelley nor Thomas looks like they are the answer at RG. Maybe Turner can be, although I think Turner will be a better OT than OG.
 
Why is everyone worry about Dallas having to play RG? I know Smith played bad last week but he was playing one of the best DT's in the NFL. As far as Dallas Thomas he should have been cut long time ago. I can't believe so many people are talking as if we're going to beat KC with no problem. I hope we win but this team has proven time and again that it'll let us down all the time. Till they prove they can win in a consisten basis there's no reason to think they wont lay an egg as they always do.

Ozzy rules!!

Shelly Smith is injured and more than likely will not be able to play the next couple weeks.

Who is taking RB2 snaps?

Tannehill says Damien Williams is a similar runner to Knowshon Moreno. Physical.

Has to be Williams no?

I agree with Tannehill and Williams has more speed than Moreno too. Just doesn't have experience. He's already shown the ability to break tackles and excellent balance...I hope he gets 10-15 carries and about 3-4 passes thrown his way. Better receiver than Miller...although that's not saying much.

Does Williams bark while in the backfield too?

I'm hoping Knowshon makes it back and this is the only issue for him this year. I like what he brings to the table. And I think people are overlooking the importance he had to the fight in this team.

We didn't start believing we could beat the Patriots until Knowshon kept fighting and scrapping for yards. This team responded to his toughness and leadership. Our leader went down and this team lost it's heart.

I applaud Hickey for bringing in the talent he mustered in just one off season.

However, Philbin as an authoritarian has insecurely not given this team enough leaders on the field. We have gritty guys who will back each other and give it their 110%. But what we lack are those men that these guys FOLLOW.

We have no prevailing attitude on offense. We have collective attitude on defense. But neither side truly has a galvanizing force that unifies each unit. People that bark at the other team and their teammates. That guy that yells at you when you fall down or your face is in the mud telling you to get your ass back up and keep playing.

Knowshon gave us a glimmer of that in his playing style. But we also need guys who do it with their words, as well.
 
I just love how Williams makes positive yards and seems to fall forward when he has the rock. Good vision too.
 
How can you not be able to catch at this level? Its not like they are asking L.Miller to run deep post etc. I just to get that!

Don't they have to be medically cleared to practice? Not sure how you can practice in full pads but then not be "medically" cleared for a game…its not like concussed players are out there in full pads then don't get cleared for games. I think it will be a coaches decision on whether or not he is ready
 
if its high ankle charles will be out...crap i thought misi was back...i dont know that i can handle any more trusnick

when will we get word on moreno???

kniles davis had fumble issues in college also...as well as durability ones
