What's up with Chad Jackson?
Watson's ankle seems to be really nagging huh?

Jackson is just a week to week guy. nothings wrong with him..hes simply not gonna be active every week with the WR situation

Could we have a breakout game for... Well someone's gotta step up. do we have any tight ends left?

Time for some Geno redemption then. More time for Meriweather too I'd guess.

I don't think he's injured, so they must have just inactivated him....for whatever reason.

Really, I don't understand it because I think he's a good option at KR & PR, plus he's a good backup WR.

Hopefully they are giving Troy a chance and must remember that Troy has experience in inclement weather.

my guess for this would be: "less 4 WR sets..no need for another WR"

so idea: running ball today?

So, do you think that BB is giving some borderline injured players a game off (i.e.- resting them) because the next three games are essentially pointless (other than homefield throughout the playoffs)?

Re: Chad Jackson, Watson, BRown, Yates, Neal OUT

Well at least will have a Chad Brown sighting, more Vrabel at tight end maybee??

could be. i really think Sanders/Watson would be active if it was a playoff game. BB has little interest if team goes 16-0 or not. hes more worried about playoff record

With Watson out I'd keep my bigger WR's active, especially those who are good in short areas, and Jackson's good out of the slot.

Did we learn anything more about Stephen Spach this week? Is he here for blocking or receiving?

He is? How do we know that?

Re: Chad Jackson, Watson, BRown, Yates, Neal OUT

He cought 88 passes his senior year, and most of those came with him working out of the slot. The Gators practically ran their offense through him as well.

The point isn't that he's a great NFL receiver, but with Watson out I'd try and keep more of your bigger WR's active, especially those who've been able to work closer to the LOS.

Re: Chad Jackson, Watson, BRown, Yates, Neal OUT

So, I guess we'll see more of Meriweather and Wilson this week?
