OK so Brazill DNP yesterday and is now in a boot.  Are all the naysayers still so sure about not giving Branch a chance?  Or if not Branch then they better bring Whalen back up.  Still another day of practice so I guess we will see if he can go tomorrow.

Brazill AND Pep have both downplayed the boot as a precaution for Brazill. Obviously practicing tomorrow would be reassuring but if they are both saying that it isnt as serious as it looks then I can take that at face value.... 

Unless we definitely lose another WR to injury I am definitely against bringing in another player at this point in the season.... It's just too desperate a move at this point. No time for them to learn the playbook or develop chemistry with the QB. It would make far more sense to bring someone up from the practice squad now.

Especially as the person who was worked out hasnt played a down since 2012.....

Yes bring up Whalen.

Probably won't happen.

Are you ready for it?  Here comes everybody's favorite Darius Heyward-Bey.

I would really like to see Bey have a huge game...but we need to give him a mild dose of Valium to take away the jitters...and a set of corrective contacts to see the ball better....and a couple of pounds of stickum on his gloves.

DHB and his dad just need a wheelbarrow full of toilet paper rolls and just toss 'em back and forth one night.

I guess he's only 97% at the moment, the guy isnt doing himself any favors. I don't see Grigs keeping someone who's out half the season, because half of his missed time is due to not being 100%. I can see an organization doing this for a franchise kind of player but not a #2 CB.

 

Maybe he'll play lights out when he comes back like Bob Sanders did for the playoff run......

I really dont know why Whalen is not getting more of a look

he is not blazing fast but he catches pretty much what is thrown his way

Rogers needs to get a chance to start with Hilton

We only need to use DHB on reverses

whalen catches everything. Other than all those passes he drops

If I was Toler I would be getting back fairly quickly. Missing 6-7 weeks for a pulled groin has made him expendable. especially since cutting him would save us 4.2 million on the cap. So we can sign a guy like Verner who plays a whole season.

Unless Toler comes back and plays like Revis, I think his days are numbered. There's a reason his contract was structured like that.

I agree, unless Toler comes back and plays lights out he is probably gone ... it only costs us $670,000 to cut him after this season.  That's the good thing about most of the contracts Grigson gave out; we can get out of most of them for next to nothing.

no need to play him. Why do we want him to have a setback

 

 

no i understand that. but do you realize how many players rarely get to play at 100%? most players are good to go at like 80%, but yeah i mean we clinched really no reason to rush him. just sayin in general.
