RT Jeff Otah (lower back) is active.

Looks like he's playing.

He won't be in there 100% of the time, but I'll take what I can. Also whats up with Ziemba?

Don't need him, Byron Bell is apparently better than him in the coaches' eyes, and can probably step in for either T position.

We knew this Thursday. When he stated he was 100%. You know. When you guys were too busy screaming and panicking and throwing hissy fits suggesting we should cut him.

I never said to cut Otah. :P

However, just because a player says he's 100% means nothing. In fact, he was downgraded Friday from Probable to Questionable. So obviously, the medical staff either felt like he wasn't a 100%, or you know, it was a...

He was never downgraded. He had full practice on Thursday, and was limited on Friday as a precautionary measure. Standard measure taken.

O rly?

Otah was downgraded from probable to questionable on Friday with a lower back injury.

If Otah can't play, undrafted rookie Byron Bell would make his second career start.

    • Well we won 5 games and it took the worst defense in NFL history to do that.  IF we can stay relatively healthy and Bryce plays just like he did (not even saying better) after the benching you could arguably debate 9-10 wins. I wouldn't hold my breath but I wouldn't be shocked.  The defensive improvement should be remarkable actually. Same corners, new dline, DB's return, updated safeties, same LB's ...+ the Dline's improvement should make every position about 25% better. If that's good enough to stop atleast 2 touchdowns more than we were able to last season then yea we're about to suprise alot of people imho. 
    • The Sanders family's problem is that they raised Shedeur to have the exact same mindset and persona as Deion, and then used Deion as the example as to why it's not a problem.  Even in that public interview at the combine, he gave some answer like, "do you know who my dad was and the things they said about him and he was still a HOFer?" The problem is his dad was a CB and sometimes a WR, the two positions in the NFL where not only nobody cares if you have that outward persona, in many cases it's something teams look for because WRs and CBs need to have that mentality out there on an island. His interview answer that's been going around about where you see yourself in 5 years, and his response of being Mayor of that town and laughing is a perfect example of it. There is no issue if that's your QB's mentality, we all know how Cam was.  The problem is there is a different between mentality and outward persona, and that just flat out doesn't work for a QB to have that persona, Cam didn't even do it. There are a lot of QB's who have that mindset, in particular, Burrow right now strikes me as that kind of guy.  But he still knows how to flip that QB Switch and tones it back when speaking publicly and is able to be the face of the franchise. Shedeur and Deion never seemed to grasp that for some reason, and it's a problem. Have you ever heard reports of GM's being asked by defensive players on their team to draft a QB solely because they wanted to crush them in practice? That's wild to even think of, let alone hear about actually happening.  QB is unlike any position in all of sports, whether fair or not, you have to act differently when speaking in public or on camera, and Shedeur just doesn't, if anything, he leans even more into his Deion like persona.
