It's a bummer about Lloyd. Can't seem to escape the injury bug. At some point, you might have to just cut your losses and move on. Jacobs, Brooks, Wilson and Amar on the PS is fine for now.

At first I thought he hurt his ankle but on the replay you can the dude trying to knock him out as he was getting slowed down from behind. He was a bit defenseless and he took a dangerous hit. I would say he's more unlucky than anything else. I wouldn't cut my losses with him now, he has that element out the backfield that we miss. Willis missed him twice, he could have had better numbers. Too talented to give up so soon.

I think it's fair to say some of it is unlucky. He also just might be one of those guys whose body can't hold up in the NFL. He's had both contact and non-contact injuries. He has a bit of time left to get right, and I think they'll afford him that, but clock is ticking. There will be plenty of 3rd down/change of pace backs to draft next year if need be.

Kuhn wondering if his feet were in on the last play, getting replay to confirm several times that they were and still wondering if his feet were in and being completely baffled about what was being reviewed and why it was ruled incomplete was some of the worst TV ever.

They should just cut Simmons now.

Simmons has been really good on Special Teams the last few years. If he makes the team it'll be for that reason and hopefully he never actually plays defense.

I'm interested to see how the interior D-line shakes out. I thought Nazir Stackhouse had a strong case to make the 53, but I'm not so sure anymore. Historically they've only kept a max 5 IDL's and Brinson, Brooks, Wooden and Stackhouse have all shown things to be worthy of a spot behind Clark and Wyatt.

Yea, of all of the position battles this one might be the closest. Given he was a draft pick and is younger I'd give Brinson a leg up, but it's very close and Stackhouse seems like a player good enough to be on a NFL roster

Brooks is not a full time DT for me. He should only play inside on passing downs. He played some snaps at DE last year so that tells me the coaches also know he's not a full time DT. He was awesome in college as a OLB/DE but his testing numbers were horrible for his position which is why he got moved inside. Ideally he should be a DE on running downs and DT on passing downs.
