Does Kalil NEED to practice to play? I'd think if there's anyone on the team who doesn't need to practice to play, it's Kalil. Also, any word on Norwell? I know he wasn't even at practice but never heard anything other than that.

I have been saying it for years and no one ever listens. 

Don't practice Thursday? Don't play Sunday, no matter who the player is. 

 

If Kalil is in a boot tomorrow... he is out Sunday.

My big question too.

He was active and good to go on Monday. Played on 5 ST snaps. Don't see why he wouldn't be with 6 extra days. Not even listed on the injury report this week.

'Not on the injury report' doesn't necessarily equal 'ready to start a full game' though.

Would like to know more.

Not having Kalil effects our running game mostly.  I believe our protection in the passing game will do okay if he has to miss another game.  Greenbay's defense isn't that great.  As long as they don't have a good day rushing the passer, we will be fine.

if only Cameron Erving slid a few more spots. :(

The Head Coach said Luke wouldn't need to practice to play. Same question asked at the Friday Oct. 30 presser about Kalil.

Q: Like Luke, tho, he's another guy that could go thru a week without practice and still play?

A: Yes, yes, yes

from 00:52 to 00:58 of the presser

Just letting you know where we're getting these crazy notions from

Chris Scott also played center in preseason. I hope we just put the best linemen on the field and have Remmers at C and Williams at RT. Should've done that Monday night.

We wouldn't have Shaq. Would rather have Shaq at this point.

[Kuech the Sneak]

With velasco being limited this seems a good a week as any to move remmers to center and have williams step in at RT. Might give us the best 5 on the field

[Mr. Scot]

Changing centers likely means you accept that at least one fumbled snap exchange will occur.

I was thinking the same thing on Monday night, I think what might have sopped them was throwing a new center in there during a monsoon. Would like to see that combo this week

Ran said the injury stopped williams from getting some snaps in, not wanting 2 new guys in at one time. I think who is taking snaps tomorrow will be a big indicator of the plan

I think gettlemen should activate himself and play center.

Well David Newton tweeted that Rivera took all the first team snaps at Center in practice last week... so lets get Riverboat to play!  LOL

 

 

 

(Newton of course meant to write "Rivera said that Velasco took all the first team snaps at Center," but somehow omited 3 key words.  It was one of the funniest tweets I'd seen in awhile.)
