What are you guys thinking about who will return after the bye. Ike Taylor must be close. He has been involved in non contact for like three weeks. Troy is a slow healer and quite frankly not that useful when not fully healthy. Does Shazier have the dreaded high ankle sprain? That is usually 4-6 weeks and it will be 4 by the next game. Jones is eligible for return, but not sure if he is physically ready. Mcleandon and Thomas shoulder/ hamstring who knows. I didn't hear of anyone being injured significantly last night.
 
Troy

Did you not see Will Allen out there? Or how bad Mitchell looks trying to play both safety positions? Troy is not what he was, but this defense needs him back.

[Thomas might be OK as Troy's backup, but so far, he hasn't been able to answer teh bell due to his own injuries and I'd rather just have Troy back - he was gelling with Mitchell a little pre-injury].

Blount got sand in his vagina. But seriously, I'd welcome everyone back except for Cam Thomas. He's worthless.
 
I am not sure but I think Thomas did a bit better than McCullers in the game. Still not sold on Thomas as being good but his experience seemed to be helpful. The titans seem to have a good offensive line and they played rather well.
 
It is said that Ike, Shazier, Jarvis, Troy and McClendon will be back after the bye.

Hope to find a RB who can get themselves a little acclimated over the bye. I have heard multiple people say the Steelers have already been in contact with......wait for it.....Ray Rice???? I find that hard to believe
 
I doubt the STEELERS have anything to do with mini rr. Not any team in the NFL would touch that midget right now. PURE speculation on the rumor mill. Its possible, but very unlikely.


Salute the nation
 
With the Saints injury problems we will need Shazier's speed to come crashing down on Ingram and drop back to take Graham's crossing routes away, as inconsistent as Allen has been they might flip Taylor and Cortez on press coverage on Graham with Troy playing over the top, the other CB can play Colsten 1-1, and Meachum is just a notch better than DHB, the key will be stop the streach runs to the left side vs Cam, where someone like Evans will pull.
 
Troy isn't what he once was, but unfortunately he's still the best safety on this team. Jarvis on the sideline looked like he put on 30lbs, now hopefully it was just the bulky clothes he had on, but I don't know.

I going to punch my wife and daughter's in the face if we sign Ray Rice. Write it down.

As I said, weeks ago, I welcome back EVERY STARTER once they've been approved to play...

Not sure I understand your sadness on the return of Ike, Shazier, Jarvis, Troy and McClendon. The only one not likely to be missed is jones. Ike will be much better than who ever our last corner is as well as Troy will be much better than our last safety. McClendon is right now better than his replacements so far, Shazier is better than the guys replacing him but not by a lot at this stage. Unless you are wishing for losses I am not sure why you would not want these guys back. Although I would be interested in reading your thoughts on this.

Please disregard I need to clean my glasses, I read said to be sad, my apologies for misconstruing your comments. I will now go sit in the corner next to the Steeler Gnome.
