So how do you compensate for the loss of Sproles?

[IronEagle]

I'm not going to ask how you replace him because I don't think you can. But the team will need to find ways to adjust. Starting with the return game. And a lot more.

[Cheesesteak]

you duct tape Sproles and Pumphrey together, think "3 legged race", between the two of them, they should be a'ight.......AND the new kid can really get an up-close education on how the game is played when he takes over next season.

I don't think the conversation starts with Pumphrey. Smallwood had some good runs yesterday, so I think you begin to divide the workload more appropriately between the three of them. Blount's hands still stink, so it'll be Smallwood and Clement making most of the receptions. Maybe a couple of gadget plays with the receivers as well.

In any case Pumphrey is a discussion for next year.

[JuTMSY4]

I sure hope so

In any case Pumphrey is a discussion for next year.

He's IR-ed, so if the plan is to bring him back in week 9 (10 because of the bye, I think) we're screwed already. He's show nothing as of now that would instill confidence in my this year.

I am not sure I have the rules correct but as I understand it you have to place injured reserved on one of two lists: Guys you can bring back or guys you can't bring back. There is a limit on the number of players you can bring back.

I'm not sure you can switch the IR status.

[TRENT]

they are saying Torry Smith, I know Josh huff is still unsigned

it was the one thing he was good at, but I don't know if he has legal trouble or even if they would consider him at all since cutting him.

[JuTMSY4]

Me neither, although I do recall that only 2 guys can be brought back from the shorter term IR. Not sure if you need to designate that before or not.

Maybe the Giants are really that shitty, but I want more of the Blount/Smallwood 1-2 punch.

The return game is more concerning for me. Torrey Smith hasn't been a very impressive Terp so far at WR, hopefully he shows he can do something in the return game but I'm not holding my breath.

I think this will force Dougie to run a more balanced offense. It's never good to lose Sproles. But if we stop running misdirection jet sweeps with Agholor that the defense knows are designed to get Sproles into space, it won't be the worst thing. Let's see if Blount and Smallwood can be a good duo.

No Clone War. Just cloning.

[BirdBrawn]

Can Bryce Treggs return punts?

[Maniac]

No worries. Doug and his analytics guy will noodle it out.

Dougie's analytics = Chip's sports science
