This is where losing Norton I think hurt. He's one of the best linebacker coaches in the league. Very good at teaching technique.

foster diagnosed himself and has come to the conclusion that he's fine. No need for surgery.

We need vets like Frank on the team, that show these dudes how to work out, and man up to fight off some of these injuries.

idk why Sherman is playing. Might as well treat it like a preseason and see if any lower stringers can shine.

We don't even have enough to field a team now. Tartt goes down and his replacement, Exum immediately goes down. Tyvis effing Powell has to play. Insta-TD.
Insane. We still have half a season to go through. Week 17 might be a full team of street FA's.

I think if the player is going to need offseason surgery, then they should be shut down at this point imo. Should be a real JV barnburner game this Thursday with both teams decimated either by injury or trading away players.
Totally agree!
The season's over and IMO play anyone who is on the bubble or worse and see what we have.
If we lose - SO WHAT!
They'll get experience and the ones who suck will get sent packing.
Then, we'll have a better draft position to get a franchise ER.

Yep but as a coordinator he's more involved in the whole defensive unit. Saleh is a solid linebacker coach so if that was all he was focusing on, they probably would be. Having a guy like Norton who would have soley concentrated on the linebackers would have been a huge plus. Not too mention his experience in the scheme is a big plus as well. Wish we would have kept him but I don't blame Kyle for letting him go for a better opportunity.

It seems like every year we are building towards next season then when next season comes we still suck and were building towards the following season then that season we still suck its a pattern so who cares anymore nothing they do seems to work.

These guys are so soft anyway. Why even shut them down? They'll just get hurt next year.

Between that and the refusal to bench Foster, KS reeks of desperation.

Yes, Breida and Reuben should not play another snap until they're 100%.
