So were down to Robinson and scrubs.

When Minkah was out, our D backs didnt suck.. They were still ok.

Bring minkah down to be the cover linebacker . He can tackle , he can cover, and he can call the defense.

Untill Elandon Roberts comes back.

Your thoughts?

I watched Minkah's post-game and he acts like his hand isn't an issue but is casted up. I can't imagine playing this game with a broken hand at his position - at least effectively, but maybe he can. I'm not sure what to think actually....rest it up in case of the playoffs and not aggravate the injury?
 
Here ya go....and hear me out..

Put TJ on the inside.
Yep TJ!
Give him the GREEN DOT!
Put Herbig/Golden in his spot.

TJ would excel at the position and if he wants to win DOPY award so bad...this would guarantee it!

Not only that...he would complain less about the refs in that position!

F*ck it! All hands on deck!

TJ is the most dominant player at his position now, why would he win DPOY at a position he's never even played before? That would give the voters an easy out to not vote for him and can hand it to Garrett or Parsons like they are dying to do. So you have a problem with TJ complaining about being held? No one else speaks up for him, what else is he suppose to do? It's been 12 games, he's sick of the BS. I don't fault him at all.

He would also excel at ILB.
That's how he would be guaranteed the DPOY award.
No one would be able to argue against that or consider anyone else.

Its far fetched...but this team needs some sense of urgency, and they have ZERO viable options otherwise at ILB.
Just thinking outside the box...

BTW--everyone gets held in this league, especially pass rushers who can disable starting QB's, which the NFL is now desperately looking for any good healthy ones..

Not only that----that's a bad look for TJ and wont win over any officials.

I'm tired of people thinking that licking the nuts of these refs and Rog is going to get you anywhere. Wanna know what I'd tell the ref the first time I got a flag for one of those "well your lb contacted the helmet, so even though he did pull up on the tackle, he gets the 15 yard roughing penalty". Well, ref, look here, next time one of my LB's hits the qb, I'm telling him to drive him as far into the ******* turf as he can, and if we're lucky he won't get back up. You want to see a roughing penalty, I'm happy to show you, maybe next time keep the ******* hankey in the pocket when the helmets graze.

Additionally, what's the max penalty for a player just flat out leveling an official? Could always get a practice squad scrub nobody, put em on the field for one play, and just flat out level an official in the middle of a play. So they eject the guy and fine him, make the contract high enough no one cares, and then just let the NFL know, hey, he's learning, what do you expect? I'm just tired of watching everyone tiptoe around these guys like they are gold, when they have sucked for at least 15 years.

I may be mistaken but I think I heard an interview where TJ wanted absolutely nothing to do with the green dot. I do think Herbig should somehow be worked into the equation and get him on the field on a steady basis one way or another.

Minkah broke his hand on Sunday... he'll be out for a few more games...
 
Not keeping Tanner Muse is really kicking us in the butt right now. I hate it when we keep guys like Miles Boykin or Anthony McFarland. If you can't be a contributor on special teams and a decent backup get on the practice squad.

With a broken hand??
 
This is where I wouldn’t have minded having Terrell Edmunds on the roster. He was pretty damn good up closer to the line. He was a solid run stopper and lined up well against tight ends. He couldn’t been that 3rd safety/hybrid player. Of course, a healthy Neal would’ve been fine here as well
