Joe Reitz & Xavier Nixon splitting reps at Starting RG

[TKnight24]

@KBowenColts: Pagano said Xavier Nixon, a possible option at right guard, left practice early due to a foot injury.

@KBowenColts: Pagano says Joe Reitz and Xavier Nixon got the reps at right guard today in practice.

Depending on the inuru severity, they'll continue until the decision is made on who'll start

As long as Reitz doesn't play T again this season. I like him at G though.

[Franklin County]

I hope Nixon isn't hurt already. Is he made of glass? Man talk about bad luck wow.

 

I wouldn't mind Reitz at guard either.

[Clem-Dog]

Nixon played really well last season. His versatility is a plus, we just need him to contribute ASAP.

And here comes the injury bug..

And here comes the injury bug..

 

Everyone in the league has an injury this time of the year.  It comes down to - can you play with it.  Chill.

 

I also like Reitz at G.  Shipley and Holmes can also play, but Holmes will probably be inactive... again.

I really wanted to see what Nixon brings at Guard. There's absolutely no way Holmes plays.

And I am chilled.

What makes you think Holmes can play? He hasn't played all year a healthy inactive since getting healthy. At this point I would be less surprised to see a guy from the PS or off the streets on the O Line than Holmes. I don't understand why he is taking up a roster spot.

I like Reitz at left guard, not right guard.

I'm not sure if you mean 'can he play' or 'can he play', if you know what I mean.  Since he's not on the injury report each week, I have to assume he's healthy.  From what Grigs said, he's now working out at G, that's what I meant when I said he could play there.

 

I totally agree with you, and I've said it before, if he's healthy and he's never active, why keep him?  If he's not healthy enough to play, IR him again.  Waste of a roster spot.

Yeah, it is an enigma, a mystery, a riddle with Holmes.

It seems pretty clear to me the guy isn't capable of helping one of the weakest O Lines in the NFL. The mystery is why is he still eating up a roster spot???

I am with you on that. Unfortunately the healthy inactive every week leads me to believe he just isn't very good as far as working at G that was his first position at USC it shouldn't be much of a transition. We need help at G that is for sure. I think the guy is a waste we lose him in the off season.

 

I just don't understand why we keep him on the roster. I really  wanted to see if Quarles could bring something to the D Line like maybe a pass rush. He is gone now. He at least hit the field for a game and had a sack Why is Holmes on the team?
