M.O.A.B. Posted July 24, 2014 Author Report Posted July 24, 2014 what's new... - the Knapp-Howard switch - Frazer starts at Vega's spot - West backup Sherman at SAM/Dime - Cornell backup Turner at the NT back in business... - Leggett at Safety - Woods at KR
Noeller Posted July 24, 2014 Report Posted July 24, 2014 Howard and Knapp switching. Interesting. Did you miss all the tweets from beat writers all week?
Armchair GM Posted July 24, 2014 Report Posted July 24, 2014 Knapp played G for most of training camp IIRC. And was very solid at it. Think this is the coaching staff trying to seal the holes other teams have been punching in the middle of our OL.
M.O.A.B. Posted July 24, 2014 Author Report Posted July 24, 2014 Re the Knapp-Howard switch? Is it because a. Knapp failed at RT or b. Howard failed at LG or c. both ?
mbrg Posted July 24, 2014 Report Posted July 24, 2014 Howard and Knapp switching. Interesting. Did you miss all the tweets from beat writers all week? Mike's pretty old-school. Picks up the morning paper off the driveway each day. Browses the "Coffee News" over at Chicken Chef. Doesn't have much use for social media. Is Swiston healthy enough to play yet? Last week we played with 43 after Renaud went down in warm-ups. I assumed we could have put Swiston on the sidelines in a uniform as our 7th if he was healthy, just because why not?
mbrg Posted July 24, 2014 Report Posted July 24, 2014 Re the Knapp-Howard switch? Is it because a. Knapp failed at RT or b. Howard failed at LG or c. both ? c. Mostly they are trying to put them in positions that play to their strengths. Noeller 1
Floyd Posted July 24, 2014 Report Posted July 24, 2014 Knapp had a hard time at RT last year as well - still would rather see him at RG for our running game... Etch might be pushing it just a bit with a 6'2 225lb DT... James 1
17to85 Posted July 24, 2014 Report Posted July 24, 2014 not a surprise that woods is on at the expense of cotton but man I still want to see Cotton get some work at rb because I think he was much better than Grigsby in preseason. MOBomberFan 1

Etch might be pushing it just a bit with a 6'2 225lb DT... Just what I was thinking .... Cornell is small even by DE standards, never mind DT.... I'm all for guys playing everywhere but unless he can beat them with speed, I don't see O-linemen having much issues with a 225 lb interior lineman...
BomberBall Posted July 24, 2014 Report Posted July 24, 2014 not a surprise that woods is on at the expense of cotton but man I still want to see Cotton get some work at rb because I think he was much better than Grigsby in preseason. Same here. I think Cotton has better vision and burst.
Mike Posted July 24, 2014 Report Posted July 24, 2014 Cornell as a DT is semantics. He's probably got one scheme on D that calls for him to drop out of the DL into the flats. Seriously. He won't play much on D at all.
Jpan85 Posted July 24, 2014 Report Posted July 24, 2014 Here is Cornell talking about being in the NT position http://www.winnipegsun.com/2014/07/22/bombers-mike-cornell-has-a-nose-for-defensive-line
gbill2004 Posted July 24, 2014 Report Posted July 24, 2014 Louie Richardson is 6'4" 225 lbs and he plays quite a few DL snaps on a weekly basis.
gbill2004 Posted July 24, 2014 Report Posted July 24, 2014 I'm getting real tired of Grigsby already. Why?

Mike Posted July 24, 2014 Report Posted July 24, 2014 I'm getting real tired of Grigsby already. Why? I'm guessing because he thinks Cotton is better.
AKAChip Posted July 24, 2014 Report Posted July 24, 2014 I'm getting real tired of Grigsby already. Why? I'm guessing because he thinks Cotton is better. Basically. I think Grigsby's hot start was the worst thing to happen to this team because we can't justify sitting him for awhile and he's clearly the inferior back. 17to85 1

Do we know whether Cotton is better than Grigsby at blocking?

Do we know whether Cotton is better than Grigsby at blocking? No but based on preseason we can pretty safely say he's a better runner and quite honestly I'd rather a runningback that can get the team in 2nd and short more often so that they don't have to be in the backfield blocking so often. Grigsby is to me is too much like Will Ford was in that he either gets a first down or 2 yards.
Fatty Liver Posted July 24, 2014 Report Posted July 24, 2014 Where did they put Cotton back on the one game I.R.?
