Opening this up a little early ahead of kickoff:

 
These rookie WRs have to do something eventually. They keep making Osborn inactive so the only other WRs playing are Bourne and Pop. The rookies Polk and Baker have unlimited runway to make plays.

I’m wondering who is playing left guard. Jordan was cut, the new guy Cotton is inactive. I assume it’s not Sow. Will they be flipping Robinson over to the left? I know he got some practice reps there but Peters had previously expressed hesitancy to do that.

If Peppers isn’t too rusty, he will hopefully help the back end of the defense in a big way. He was their best safety by a wide margin before he left IMO.
 
Sad to see Mapu out. He's better than Taki & Dugger (lately)
Same for Roy. He has more power & impact than Ekuale or Johnson (who doesn't play)
 

Kind of embarrassing. You can tell Maye wants to win and the other guys are just goofing off. There’s a culture issue here.

To my eye it looks like Polk and a couple other WRs were the ones celebrating. Bourne kind of half did it after seeing the other guys do it. Maye, Henry and Hooper didn’t care and walked off lol
 
Mapu won’t make out training camp next season.

He’s inactive because he can’t play S or LB.

What's a little bananas is the fact Douglas has 477 yards and obviously leads the other wideouts by a large margin. That's pretty incredible given that it feels like he hardly ever gets the football and has seemingly done little this year. 341 of those yards are from Maye, while the other 136 were from Brissett. Would be great if he and Maye could get more on the same page, and for some of these other guys to get it going.

The reports during the week were robinson at LG and Jordan is there as a backup plan

Saw some commentary from Breer last week, which I agree with - Covington and Mayo don’t know how to properly use “tweener” types even though they signed/kept multiple of them. That was a Bill staple but only Bill knew how to use them even somewhat well, but he wasn’t always successful either.

I saw the video too and mentioned it this week.
 
Not a lot of people there early today at the stadium:

 
This is a game good coaching and game planning would win.
Facing a qb who competes 47% of his passes. A team with 18 turnovers, 6th most in the league, that is 27th vs the run and 27th vs the pass.
23rd in 3rd down on offense, 28th on defense.
A good game plan and well coached team beats these guys.
 
Indoor home tasks today so game will be on. Not sure for how long if they don't bother to show up like last week...
 
If the players gave me the impression they cared about winning, knew what to do when they are on the field, and showed improvement - the bad record would be easier to deal with…

I’m not convinced they are winners. Give me 75% talent and 100% desire any day…
