Well that sucks

If there was going to be a game for TW to have off, this is the one. Nsekhe can more than hold down LT against the Falcons.

I said the same but CT out sucks, we really need him healthy

Apparently TW had surgery and is week to week and definitely out Sunday.

Nsekhe usually could handle LT on his own but I still have some concerns when we play Houston and Dallas..

WTF! It's just a thumb! Wrap it up in a cast and move on!
Can't you put a cast on it that keeps the thumb stiff but leaves the other 4 fingers hang out? I've seen those before,this is going to be a bif loss being out for a month

Offensive lineman need their hands.

Trent usually guts out just about anything so the fact he’s out should say something.

Think it was JP Finlay on Kevin Sheehan's show who said he talked to TW right after the game, asked him if he was going to play next game, and usually he has that "you I'm gonna play no matter what look" but this time he said "I don't know, I need my hands...".
Defensive linemen can play with a cub, but OL need to be able to fully grasp.

Wasn't sure where to put this, so here it is. But I just want to give Gruden and Manusky a bit of props for rethinking their defensive line rotation. In years passed they would have a big rotation of 5 or 6 players, spreading the snaps around quite a bit. They started off this year doing the same thing. Then suddenly for the Green Bay game they started leaning heavily on Payne, Allen, and Ioannidis. It's rare that the reserves even see the field now, you rarely see Settle, Brantley, Hood when he was on the roster, they just don't get on the field much now.

Credit where it's due. They moved away from a long held practice to adjust and do something differently. It has definitely paid off.

One of the big complaints about Jay has been lack of adjustments, of any kind, in-game or otherwise. Credit for this one, they adjusted this line rotation and we're beastly up front.

I think Jay is very good to excellent at game to game type adjustments.

I remember his first few years the first game would be problem x, y, and z. the second game seemed to solve one of em (like to many penalties or whatever else) and by the 4th game he seemed to have a lot of the recurring issues resolved. It's why I expect our passing game to and 3rd quarter scoring to be solved shortly.

His biggest issues always have been game time management, and in game reactions/changes.

This must be why skins offense progressively scores more and more points as the game goes on. He is SOOO good at halftime adjustments. This is like saying he is also great at motivation an making sure his teams play to their maximum potential regardless of who they are playing. Frankly, these are the 2 weaknesses that will eventually get him fired. Unless of course he is blessed with talent and wins a couple playoff games

I think you misunderstood CRed's point. He was not talking about IN-game adjustments. He was talking about adjustments made from one game to the next; particularly against the same team. Give him time in the film room, and Gruden can get a solid game plan together.

I agree with you on the in-game adjustments and motivational issues. Pretty sure CRed does so too.

Yes i was DEFINITELY not giving Gruden credit for in game adjustments. He hasn't shown much if any ability at that aspect.

Team980 just reported that both CT and TW are out.
