    So this stinks for sure but

    It's only Crowell. It's not like we lost Stroud or Lynch or Edwards.


    It could have been a lot worse. Plus Ellison has a ton of starting time on his hands.

    Re: So this stinks for sure but

    I think its the open ended side of this problem that has everyone in a tizz.
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

      Very very disappointing finding this out two days before the season starts but that's why we have backups. Time for them to step up.

        Exactly. This is football. Injuries happen. You have 53 guys for that reason.


        I don't let injuries bother me.

          1- Your right.

          2- Ellison sucks. Do people have blank memories. Players slates shouldn't get wiped away at the start of each season. If your undersized and get pushed around, its not going to discontinue to happen. There's a reason we signed Mitchell; that reason is Ellison wasnt good enough.

            I think it's annoying because it's a culmination of the Peters deal, Evans deal, and now THIS.

            You just took your biggest impact guy on offense and defense and told them to both "**** off"

              Before this happened it was almost unanimously agreed that our LB core was the deepest position on this team...

              But MBB, is right, the disturbing part is the strange circumstances around how this went down.

                  Ellison looks like he beefed up alot and on the plus side he is way better in pass coverage than Crowell ever could aspire to be, obviously Crowell was superior in run support but hopefully Ellisons newly added muscle can help negate the loss.

                    Ellison was on the opposite side of the field (weakside) where Mitchell is. He'll be fine on the strongside. Tons of speed. They should use him to blitz.

                      Ellison's had plenty of chances to do that and so far he hasn't. There's no reason to expect any different this time around.
