Porter and Vilma will play

What worries me is Strief and Hargrove appearing on this list. We need Hargrove’s intensity and pass rush and we need Strief to come in as an extra blocker or act as a back-up. We don’t have a lot of depth on that O-line.

BTW, there’s a special on NFL Network tonight: “Anthony Hargrove: From Sinner to Saint.” I think it’s on at 8:00PM Central time. Looks interesting.

Speaking of Strief, I’ve been dreaming lately of seeing him line up in the backfield at FB with Heath Evans behind him running the ball on short-yardage or goal-line downs. I think this would be unstoppable. Any chance we may see something like this coming soon? If Strief can declare himself eligible and line up at TE, I see no reason he couldn’t do the same at FB. He’s the biggest guy on the team.

Why not give Strief the ball?

That could work too.

I just like the idea of him opening a hole for our true FB in Heath Evans. A lot of people seemed to have forgotten that he can run the ball too.

Because size does not always equate to an effective runner. Strief can open a massive hole, but if the same size hole was opened for him, he wouldn’t be able to hit it well. Evans can hit it hard and fast enough for it to be effective
