Err.. I mean the IR list...

I have to agree their is no real need for him this year with Pass and Evans around. Let him learn the system and try again next year.

you never know with these 4th-5th rounders..might wanna go back home and when they come back..pooooof ! CUT

I don't know about that, Dabruinz. Graham still hasn't seen the field all camp and Watson has already missed time and reports are that he didn't do too well on his first day back.
We still got Dave THomas, though.
Or did you mean he has a bad injury that the FO is not disclosing?

Yeah, I forgot that they are giving him reps as fullback but he did come out as a TE. And a very good one, too.
We may have need at the TE position so I have to say that I disagree if Dabruinz is saying he will be a healthy IR.

This team needs Mills in this offense this season. He's a better blocker than Evans for the RB and Brady and has better hands than Pass with only more speed than Evans but not Pass. He's an all around great player. Dont want to IR him unless he really needs it.

What if neither Pass nor Evans make the 53? Evans especially is a long shot, but Pass has no lock on anything, either.

The guys missing time are doing so because BB is rotating them in and out. Watson didn't miss time because of an injury.

While Graham isn't on the field, neither is Mills.

Walter Rasby has seen more time on the field than Mills or Graham this training camp. Graham is all but guaranteed a position. Mills is not.

I don't think for a moment that Evans will make the 53. Pass is our fullback. Mills a blocker? Please post the source.

I said he's a better blocker than Evans and my source is any type of college film you see of him.
