Injuries will create a youth movement opportunity

I want to see what Austin/Banks has as much as the next guy, but you can't deny that Galloway has kept his job despite his mediocre play this season, and that probably doesn't stand to change now that he finally had a decent game.

You are right, he had a decent game. I still would like to see either Galloway or Roydell Williams released and Austin promoted.

Let's hope they do the right thing and ride the hot hand with the OL. Rabach, Hicks, and Lich have been together for half a season and the patchwork interior of Lich, W. Monty, and Heyer outperformed them by a mile. LOL
If Fat Andy could swallow his pride for Kolb, let's hope to dear God Shanahan does the same.

Yeah, good luck with that.

Yeah, good luck with that.

I guess I'll keep on keepin' it real then, although I'm softer than LavarNChad. :D

He's had 10 games and what has he done? Not much.

No, not much. You could say that about a lot of offensive players this season.

The bottom line is, the coaches are going to play who they think gives the team the best chance to win. They aren't going to sacrifice games just to "see what someone can do". They see that in practice, and once someone consistently steps up and shows they are going to give the team a better chance to win than Galloway/Williams or any other starter, you will see them on the field.

I don't like seeing Roydell or Joey out there either, but I got to believe the coaches are doing what they think is best for the team.

So, what was the injury tally from last night's game? Has that been fleshed out yet, or is it going to take a day or so?

The problem is Snyder, Allen and Shanahan have a win now mentality. They need to realize that this team isn't good enough to make a Super Bowl run. Best case for this team is what? Make a wild card and go home in the first round? And that's if everything goes right. I've said this over and over but I'd get as many young guys on the field now as possible and clean house when the season is over.

Its a win now league and I have no problem with that. If a team makes the playoffs and gets hot anything can happen just ask the Cards. No matter what happens they are going to dump a lot of over-paid underperformers.

I agree.....This could spell the end for many of this new "over the hill gang" If it takes injuries to make it happen then so be it. This group looks very slow in comparison to the more youthful teams around the league. Even when they're fortunate enough to win a game, they look far less than impressive. Their best work is on display when the opposition plays a game of self-destruct. No better example than yesterday.

The thing is Rocky shouldn't even be playing inside. No way is be big and sturdy enough to be playing inside backer in a 3-4. I don't understand why Blades and Riley aren't playing inside and move Rocky outside.

Thank god, I thought I was the only person who questioned this! I kept my mouth shut because he was putting up the tackle #s to justify being in the middle.

Even if the Eagles are extending their lead on us to the point where they are putting away the division in November, that 5th seed is out there for the taking with the Saints and the Bucs sitting at three losses each. Both those teams are going to take their share of defeats in the second half.
