What kind of injury is that?

In semi related news today, David Amerson hurt his thumb in practice. Hopefully nothing serious.

So far, Chris Johnson juke move aside, Rambo is good. Knock on wood.

Would suck if it was anything serious with Amerson. Has been the only rookie DB to show any promise thus far (but it has only been one preseason game so that can change very quickly).

Just because he's the worst of the three doesn't mean he sucks.

Have to say, this is music to my eyes. From WaPo's Mike Jones on Tuesday practice observations:

Alfred Morris has been working to improve his pass protection skills, and today he stuck Perry Riley on a stunt off the right edge with a hard block and kept the linebacker from getting to Kirk Cousins on one play in 11-on-11 action. Had it been a game, however, it wouldn’t have mattered, because Brian Orakpo had beaten Trent Williams and would’ve hit Cousins on his blind side.

I guess a pessimist could look at that and say well great, Trent isn't holding up the blind side. Trent is the last guy I'm worried about. To see Orakpo get that sack on Locker and hear him beating Trent in practice, beautiful thing. Nothing impacts the game and changes momentum like a QB sack.

What about a crucial turnover in overtime?

I thought so. Haha. Didn't think you were a grammar-police type.

At this point last year Morris was a blip on the teams radar.

Yeah let's wait and see before we say anyone is really good. Rambo looked like a clown last week but does that mean he sucks? No it's just PS

Has anybody heard anything about Tanard Jackson status, anything new?

He can play both safety positions. Thomas down is probably done for the year, to replace him with T Jax would be great. Im not sold on Merriweather being ready, just dont have the confidence he is going to be able to perform at 100%. Best case at this point is to rotate in packages Merriweather/Reed at SS and Rambo at FS. If Rambo would struggle, having Tanard Jackson there playing behind him would be nice insurance. If Merrriweather would have a setback, you could play T Jax/Reed at SS. I dont care how good Gomes or Pugh are playing...T Jax is still more valuable and a better player.
