Kubiak said he was in pain during half-time so it was before then.

I think Caldwell will play just fine and three weeks will go by before we know it. Yeah, it sucks but I am not worried at all.

We've seen this team have a ton of injuries, but not be able to win in spite of it.
Time to break Rick Smith off some propas, too. This team is at least two-deep in most
positions, and three-deep in a few others.

there is no doubt we have built depth and quality and smith needs to get the props for that imo. however, we have had more IR'ed guys 2 years ago IIRC), but i can't remember ANY team having as many MAJOR players injured and still being able to overcome the issues. MAJOR props to the players and coaches.

Just wanted to say thanks to Brisiel for gutting it out and helping his team become AFC South Champions.

You're one tough son of a gun.

I think Caldwell is in the same position Brandon Harris is. We drafted him, thinking we were going to have a position for him, but Brisiel upped his game (I've never been a big Brisiel fan, but if he's still starting on arguably the best OL over the last two years... eh...).

Caldwell is going to have the opportunity to show that he should be starting. I hope he makes his case.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but didn't Caldwell start some games last year?

EDIT: Answered my own question. He started 7 games last season.

Agreed. I saw during the last play when everyone was celebrating Brisiel was trying to do the same but seemed to be in alot of pain. Much respect to him.

So between Jackson and Allen which one has upped their game enough to stop Harris from playing at all so far? Just asking honestly.

I honestly think both of them has. I mentioned in another thread, Allen is getting more physical, as evidence I offer the TD that wasn't a touchdown when Julio failed to land in bounds.

Kj is naturally more physical. His feet & his hands have gotten much better since last year. I still think the game is too fast for him & I get the feeling that he doesn't think he belongs yet, he's a little too self conscious. Once he stops thinking so much, I think he's going to be an excellent corner.

I think we have three starting corners.

Big sigh of relief that this wasn't what I initially thought it was!
