I know, he has fumbled.... but I'll contribute that to preseason and rookie mistakes. He's on the active roster and atleast worth a shot.

I also feel we need some more corners. Especially after the last game, we have only 4 active corners and 2 of them were hurt agianst Denver. We also have 5 safeties, and 7 Linebackers. I'm sad to say it but, if we r not going to use Lavar lets deactivate him and move up a corner from the practice squad.

Turnovers to me are about taking a risk and making a play. To me, that is what Lavar's game is all about. I think that him not being on the field with some major minutes effects the turnover ratio directly. He brings pressure to the QB's and has the ability to move from sideline to sideline effortlessly. We need to get him in there.

What does the Warpath think. Could we being using the roster better, or is coaching staff doing the right thing?

I think he's doing the right thing.

On the corners, GW likes his safeties to be flexible so he can feel comfortable switching them to CB in a pinch. Prioleau and Clark have both played that role before. I don't think we need another CB on the roster, especially when we need to keep 2 kickers on the roster. And we need the LBs on the roster because so many of them are good special teamers.

On Nemo, I don't know if I'd go that route yet. We can't have fumbles. But I might try pounding Betts in there. He's a bit bigger than Portis. The lack of rushing TDs actually makes me question the power of the offensive line a little bit. No doubt they're athletic, but maybe they're just not getting the push we need to run it in? Also, I don't think we have a great blocking TE either, that doesn't help.

I want Lavar on the bench and I want him gone from the team, traded in the offseason. I can't stand him. I hate freelancing. I don't want to see one big play for us and then one big play against us because Lavar isn't where he's supposed to be.

I think the reason we're not getting interceptions is because we have to rush so many guys to get pressure on the QB. Then with so many guys coming at the QB, there aren't many players left in the secondary to make interceptions. If we could generate pressure with our front 4, I think we'd get more picks because we'd have more LBs and safeties back in coverage. Kinda like GW had with Kearse when he was with the Titans. They got INTs out the wazoo. But we don't have a Kearse, so I'm not sure we'll get a lot of picks this year. On fumbles, we've forced plenty of them, we just haven't recovered. So on fumbles I think it's just a matter of time before we land on them, I think the ball just hasn't bounced our way so far.
