View topic - Bungles' Secondary

I notice that, at least so far, there are a number of Bengal's secondary players listed on the injury report (Hall, Jones, Iloka, Kirkpatrick, Shaw.)

While Shaw and Kirkpatrick had full participation today, Leon Hall was limited after not practicing at all yesterday and Ms. Pac-Man and Iloka haven't practiced yet this week. Anyone have any ideas or thoughts on the health of the corners and safeties over there that we can expect this weekend? I'm starting to drool thinking about how better gelled our O-line is now than week 8, how much healthier Ben is, and how comfortable Williams has become in the offense. Add to that a battered secondary corps and we might see a TON of passing yards.

Also, don't forget the biggest difference this time around is Tuitt being on the field. The D is not nearly the same without he or Heyward in the line-up.

Amen, brother. Amen.

I heard Puke-Man Jones was wearing some kind of boot this week? If so, you would think that would mean the criminal wouldn't be playing this week, but who knows?

The one to really look out for in the secondary who seems to be everywhere is Reggie Nelson, and he's playing unfortunately.

Ms. PacMan is listed as "doubtful" today, after not having practiced all week. She will probably not play.
Iloka is listed as "questionable", having limited practice today for the first time all week. Same with Leon Hall.

I guess what jumped out at me is four CB's and their starting SS all somewhere on the injury list. Jones (foot) is likely out, Iloka (groin) and Hall (back) are pretty likely to not play, Kirkpatrick, and Shaw likely playing, but Reggie Nelson really would have to be everywhere to make up for five holes in the secondary, especially the way BR7 is playing right now. I guess they don't play the games on paper, tho, so we'll see...

I figured Tuitt in the line-up would make a big difference, but I did not foresee it working out the way it did.

Totally thought of you when he picked that pass off! Haha. Great play!!!
