Hmmmm..., I forget the exact context. He (Broaddus) was definitely implying that we shouldn't count on him dressing. I hope he's wrong though.
I hope he is wrong too but it's hard to get 4 RBs reps with the starting unit so it wouldn't surprise me if Michael isn't getting many. Unfortunately I'm not sure Michael is going to really get a shot on game either until one of the top 3 guys gets hurt or falters badly. I'm looking at McFadden...

It's not that big of a deal to have him on the practice squad but I still don't see the point. I mean it's not like Gus Johnson was going to be making the roster probably ever. Weems is what he is. The guy is 27 years old and has been in the NFL what 4 years now? If you ain't got it by now, then you'll never ever ever get it. Would have much rather seen our seventh round pick on the practice squad.
Experience counts for something in a backup mode.

I think he was missed. Swaim was not overly impressive.

No and Hannah has some speed. Swaim when you throw him the ball is like Witten. He is one yard and a cloud of dust. Hannah when you throw those dump offs can actually beat some guys with his athletic ability.

Nah, he pretty much falls down too.

I think he's a better blocker. Not a crusher, but he gets in the way okay.

He played this past week. That really doesn't say whether they are going to Guard-by-committee it again. Come on Jerry put your foot down on this at least.

Ha. Leary is gonna regret missing time with an injury.

FWIW I don't agree with guard by committee though. But this will be the slow process of Collins clamping down on that starting job. Its too bad they won't try him at tackle, Free hasn't been great himself.

I had a hard time telling how each guy did at LG, but the line hasn't looked so stellar with Leary out.

Screw that, if Leary is healthy you play him the full game. If he isn't you play Collins the full game.

Rotating guys is the dumbest thing you can do on the offensive line.

Agreed. As much as I would like to see Collins, if Leary is healthy and the coaches still have him as the #1 guy he should play the whole game.

Terrell McClain to IR; Gus Johnson signed to the practice squad to replace Joe Thomas who signed with GB per Rob Phillips.

Good, McClain was worthless. That opens space to keep Bishop and Coleman when Hardy gets back.
