Practice update: Hogan, Cannon, Andrews out for Sunday vs Miami

[oldrover]

Chris Hogan, Martellus Bennett miss another practice

Any other team missing a starting C, RT and WR... that's a big problem.

Patriots?



"Meh."

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

Hope they're back before the squealers game. I expect those guys back for the Miami game on the road.

Lets hope Andrews doesn’t have Ryan wendellitis

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

Looks like Bennett won't play.

.... or that nasty virus Jamie Collins had a few years ago.

Hes undersized to begin with. He can't lose a lot of weight

 

[Deus Irae]

Looks like Bennett won't play.

As far as I'm concerned, it's ok if Bennett only plays in the Pittsburgh and playoff games.

The article implied that Bennett might play regardless, and hypothesized that Andrews may be suffering from altitude sickness.

I'm sure he doesn't have HAPE

High-Altitude Pulmonary Edema: Background, Pathophysiology, Epidemiology

High-altitude illness may result from short-term exposures to altitudes in excess of 2000 m (6560 ft). This illness comprises a spectrum of clinical entities that are probably the manifestations of the same disease process. High-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) and cerebral edema are the most ominous of these symptoms, while acute mountain sickness, retinal hemorrhages, and peripheral edema are the milder forms of the disease. The rate of ascent, the altitude attained, the amount of physical activity at high altitude, and individual susceptibility are contributing factors to the incidence and severity of high-altitude illness.

It seems plausible... but I'm no doctor... heck, I didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Yep. Buddy of mine got that after skiing out at Alta. He was in UMass Med for a week.

In this particular game, I actually am ok with Karras over Andrews because Karras has the edge for power. Suh can manhandle people at times, and I feel Karras might handle that better.

 

[VectorPrime]

As long as Hogan is back for Pittsburgh.

I agree with a lot of you guys. It would be awesome if we can get a healthy Hogan and mostly healthy Bennett back for the Pittsburgh game. Imagine if we can get Mitchell back for that game too !

If Brady has time then they will pick apart that defense. BB will try and find a way to slow down antonio brown.

Miami is tied for 27th in number of team sacks.
Miami is 8th worst in % of times getting a sack when opposition is passing.
Miami is allowing the third worst completion %, 9th worst in YPA, 3rd worst in Int%, 6th worst in TD%, 4th most penalized, 9th worst in % of drives ending in a score, 6th worst point allowed, 2nd worst redzone %.

To be fair to Miami, their yards per rush attempt is middling so teams likely are doing more passing with lesser success on the ground. Their 3rd down d is upper middle tier. But the Patriot OL should be expected to handle a lower tier sack/pressure team like this (noting Any Given Sunday) when statistically much better sack/pressure teams were recently handled well.

the only game left where everyone has to be healthy is pittsburgh

We are so frickin lucky noone picked up Karras when we released him and signed him to the Practice Squad. It was a shock to a lot of people he was released to begin with. It was a gamble. Had to wait a few days for Mitchell to be put on IR to open a slot for him to be put back on roster.

Thank god we have him. Karras was rock solid last game. Dare I say......... he might even be an upgrade on the relatively undersized Andrews.

Yeah but they have their most hard hitting games of the season coming up over the next two weeks. Ravens and the Bengals always seem to play smash mouth against the Steelers and vice versa.

 

[Oswlek]

Any other team missing a starting C, RT and WR... that's a big problem.

In addition to the absence of two other starting caliber WRs, two of their top four LBS and two of their top 5 DTs, all but one currently being on IR.

Don't mind me, I'll let myself out.
