Hopefully nothing is wrong with Wade Smith. Our interior OL is going to need be very effective.

I read on HoustonTexans.com that Sharpston took a lot of reps in practice yesterday (per Kubiak - but it may have been non-contact reps.)

Still, I think it's a good sign.

I read that he took a lot of reps in practice on Sunday too. Apparently the Texans were shocked that the scout team was wearing Jags uniforms and didn't take practice as seriously as they should have.

LOL, nice!

But you have to expect some rust from a guy who hasn't play for a long while.

What's the story on Jonathan Joseph?

Kubiak described it as a slight hammy; but since they don't do anything heavy due to the short week, some guys - including JJo - remain game-time decision at the moment.

So, I wonder if Ben Tate is gonna make it back before his contract year? Good thing we signed Forsett and brought Grimes back.

I think next year we should just run him into the ground, if he's healthy that is.

Now that I think of it, no chance he'd stay healthy. Hope we can get a 4th for him at this point.

It's gonna end up Tate being injured and not playing two out of three years. That's WAY to long to wait on someone. I'm past the point of mere impatience with Tate, I'm now pissed.

We banged up and bruised if we win this game it would be really good cayse we get kinda like a mini bye


Wuts the lions look like they have been pretty healthy

They have had their share, Norg.

No telling if their LT will play.
The receiver Titus Young was suspended.

Most likely they will be without both starting safeties.

Their DT Williams might not play.

Schaub may have another field day.

I think one of their CBs might be out also.

A Kubiak tease more for the distraction of the Lions game planning?

From Rotoworld:

Ben Tate: Ben Tate officially questionable

Ben Tate - RB - HOU - Nov. 21 - 6:17 pm et

Ben Tate (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 12 despite missing his third straight practice Wednesday.

Tate is officially a game-time decision, but coach Gary Kubiak hinted Tuesday that he'll play. Either way, his workload will be extremely limited behind workhorse Arian Foster.

Despite CJ's very nice production, he has been dealing with an ongoing knee problems. Being the Lions' only true WR producer/threat, it is interesting to note that he has for the most part had significant yds on relatively small number of catches.

Furthermore, more importantly IMO is that he has fumbled and lost the ball in each of the last 2 games. What has gone under the radar is the recently revealed controversial "concussion" incident that he suffered during the 4th game of the season. Three weeks ago, he showed up on the Lions Injury Report with nerve damage to both arms........which could only be due to a neck injury. If indeed this is the case, it would not be unexpected that the consequence of poor ability to grip the ball becomes more and more of a progressive problem with each violent hit.

Tate will come in and stand next to Schaub in the victory formation and watch him kneel down 3 times to end the game.

That's interesting, Doc.
