Taylor/Moss vs Bijan Robinson will be a good watch.

[JediXMan]

A fresh Taylor down the stretch.

We need him. He is our best offensive weapon. With him, we move from an above average team to a good team.

 Take another week off, I want to see more of these other 2 backs.

[ADnum1]

I'm guessing he'll have a cast on his hand.

 

Defenses will be ripping at the ball and I hope he can hold on

Someone needs to spy Robinson. We can’t let him be a factor

It was about 5 without him.

Grover is a beast. He makes a huge difference.

They don't use him anyway. His own team neutralizes him more than defenses lol.

I think we might see a Taylor/Sermon combo.

I’d have him active but sit him in the bench unless the other guys just aren’t getting it done. Rather have him fully healthy and if the others are able to run like last week, big if, then letting him rest is okay

That’s why he’s suggesting he’s active just not starting.  If the other guys can’t get it going you can still go to Taylor during the game.

I get what he's saying...

But at what point do you make the switch? After we go 3 and out a few times? ...after we are down 14 points?

Taylor has a thumb injury. As long as he can grip the ball, He should play. If not, then he shouldn't.

Maybe have to use another back as a receiver?

I wouldn’t mess around.  If he’s active he should start.  That means he’s able to play.

I’m saying to have an active but not play him unless the others aren’t working.

Or rotate them all and see who has the hot hand and stay with that guy.

Funny, I was sort of thinking the samething. Just curious as to what they can do. Of course if they both suck this time, I reserve the right to disavow that thought.

Taylor is expected to participate in the walkthrough today. Until he practiced though tomorrow and Friday don’t know much about ball security. If he is ready he should play. There is no taking off to just take off with 3 games and a playoff birth ahead.
