Bowen Returns to Practice Field

[shelby]

Not since Aug. 12 has Matt Bowen participated as extensively as he did with his teammates on the practice field Wed. Dealing with a painful bone bruise on his lower leg hasn't been easy, but Bowen was glad to put a helmet on again.

Good news...we need the depth at safety.

Whitner should still start.

Re: Bowen Returns to Practice Field

i agree...but a healthy Bowen can't hurt.

Of course not! He will see the field. My Redskin buddy said the guy is by no means garbage in the secondary!

Re: Bowen Returns to Practice Field

I just can't fathom the thought of having to see Wire trying to keep up with Coles on a "GO" route.

Sigh...everyone hates my boy Coy.
Isn't Coles questionable for Sunday?

Bowen will replace Wire as the 3rd safety. He'll be better against the pass and the same against the run. Wire can continue to concentrate on blocking punts.

I expect him to be a starter once he's 100%

Anything that keeps Wire from playing S is a good thing. Leave him on ST.

I wouldn't call it hate- the guy just isn't good at playing S. He's much more suited to special teams.

No way. Not gonna happen. If he'd been healthy to start the season, yes. But not now.

Re: Bowen Returns to Practice Field

Whitner better still be starting after the way he's played. It would make no sense to switch now.

they may put him in with Whitner. He was one of the best players at camp and an INT magnet before going down to injury. Ko Simpson had a great game against a horrible QB. We'll see what he can do against a probowler.
