derekshank Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 It's looking good this week. With the exception of Brian Simmons (which I'm less and less worried about with Brooks in there), all our guys practiced today (except for Joseph who was newly added... but still probable).The Ravens on the other hand haven't practiced a single player on their injury report... and added Todd Heap and punt returner Sams to the "questionable" list.It's still going to hurt to have Braham and Levi out... but most of us have come to terms with that in our minds at this point. This is the O-Line we have right now, so if we can get everyone else healthy, we're in pretty good shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazkal Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 If heap is out = happy day for us sense we always see have a problem with TE's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Final IR is out. Simmons didn't practice and was downgraded to doubtful. But aside from the usual three (Braham, Levi, Kwash), eveyone else should play, it seems. Joseph practiced today, which was good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duus Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 I expect I know the answer (meaning there is no answer), but do we have any sort of expectations in terms of timetable to return from those 3 guys? (Braham, Levi, KWash) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Kwash I dunno, but given how they've been sniffing around various WRs in workouts, I suspect he's not expected back soon. The rumor on Braham is that he might be back late in the regular season or for the playoffs (if there are any). Levi had surgery October 18 & it's usually a 3-4 week recovery period. So he *could* be back for the SD game but I'd bet they are targeting the Nov. 19 New Orleans game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the O-Line we have right now, so if we can get everyone else healthy, we're in pretty good shape.But on the bright side, this is the third straight game this line will have all 5 guys at the same position (unless I missed something this week?), and that's a friggin miracle the way this season started. I thought the O-line was better last week despite the loss than it had been lately, and I'm hoping it was more the line solidifying than, say, luck. So let's hope for one more week of improvement, and maybe Palmer will stay upright a little more often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So let's hope for one more week of improvement, and maybe Palmer will stay upright a little more often.It was also against the Falcons... a team that rarely blitzes, and was probably the weakest front 4 we've faced this season (injuries to their D-Line are almost as bad as the injuries to our D-Line). I doubt we'll have the sam success against the Ravens. All I'll be looking for is Palmer to have a few seconds to get the ball out like he finally started to get against the Panthers. We all know what Palmer can do to the Ravens secondary if their front 7 doesn't get to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekshank Posted November 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 It looks like Simmons is going to be out... but at least we're getting back Jeanty. I'm pretty pumped about getting a real SSLB back in the lineup. That was hurting us much much more than having Brooks in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eight weeks ago i would have laughed at that statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChadJohnson-85 Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 YES!!!! Can't wait to see Jeanty back on the field during game time!Who Dey!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlainThePain Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 If heap is out = happy day for us sense we always see have a problem with TE's.Actually I think Crumpler was the only TE to tear us up this season. My memory is pretty bad, but I think we have done pretty good against TEs this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShulaSteakhouse Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Jeanty will be a welcome sight - get healthy man. Also more Peko and less Thorton and Robinson. I wish they'd get Adams and Peko out there at the same time more often.Sucks Joseph is hurting, he needs to replace James and James to replace Ratliff in the nickel, and Brooks to move up into Ratliff's spot - not sure why he hasn't yet. Hell I'd rather see Brooks in the nickel than James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
