All In Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 Caught something on WTEM, they mentioned that he got hurt today and that Rod Jones will be the LG and Vickers will be the RG when the team plays in Japan. Can anyone confirm this? They said that the starters won't play much except for the OL. They won't to find a starting five that works best and give them as much time as necessary in Japan to gel.

Art Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 I didn't hear that he had been hurt today, but, he had been hurt and perhaps he's just out because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlanta Skins Fan Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 Assuming he's not badly hurt, I take this as good news. Something needs to light a fire under the team to get Ray Brown and/or Ben Coleman signed. A two-week injury to Loverne might do the trick. (In fairness to Loverne, a non-painful injury from which he can recover and make the team.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novato Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 This is not good news, the OL as it is, is very thin at guard and now it got G-String thin, Mendes and Cerrato will have to move very quick in order to get a Veteran Guard, and I mean Pronto...

Henry Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 They said that the starters won't play much except for the OL. They won't to find a starting five that works best and give them as much time as necessary in Japan to gel. Yikes. This sounds an awful lot like our OL and DL situation last year. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchogs Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 G-String thin now why'd you have to make something so enjoyable so bad, novato? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posse81 Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 I think Loverne has missed some time since last week with a bad shoulder. One of the pictures showed him with no pads during a normal practice and the WP speculated on reshuffling the o-line in a blurb over the weekend.

marhobo Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 He sprained his elbow a few days ago. They say nothing serious. http://www.washtimes.com/sports/20020729-1327320.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeSkin Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 Our O-line was patchwork last year, and it became a strength of the team. Of course we don't have the veteran leadership of Szott, but all we need is one youngster to be servicable, and we will be aight. This actually may help Sage win the starting job, because he's quite a bit more mobile than Danny and Shane. Oh yeah, and uhh...that other kid, uhh...yeah, Ramsey. I'm not going to call it a blessing in disguise just yet, but I can see the makings of something very positive coming out of our O-line situation. Call me crazy, but my hunches are usually...er...sometimes...uhh...scratch that, never right. But I feel good about this. :high: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 Yeah Jones was moved to LG last friday but they were rotating the kids like Ross Tucker at Guard too which may help us if he can man the RG spot and if Jones pass protection skills as a Tackle converts over to the pass protection guard side next to Samuels we are set.
