paul-mac Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Twitter.com/rapsheet So, it’s unfortunate that he’s going to miss a few games, but I think we dodged a major bullet here. He will go on IR, but can return after three weeks. Given we have a 10 day mini bye going into week 5, that seems like an obvious date for his return. We are going to seriously miss him playing against JuJu Smith-Schuster and then the Evans/Godwin double act. I thought Bryce Callahan played well in the slot on Monday night, but less so when he was forced outside when Bouye got hurt. Ojemudia had an encouraging debut outside, but Bassey struggled in the slot when he came in. I like Bassey and think he has a lot of upside, but we don’t really want him on the field too much this season IMO. I’d like to see them bring up at least one of De’Vante Bausby and Kevin Tolliver from the practice squad to replace Bouye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnAngryAmerican Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Sheesh. How many more key injuries is this team going to suffer? I guess the good news is that he's going to be out for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) Our corresponding move - frankly, I'd rather have Bausby out there on the field than Bassey. It was good Elway kept him on the PS. We'll see how this plays out. Edited September 16, 2020 by Broncofan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoBruin Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Vic says the plan is to stick with Callahan and the rookies. Gonna need a great game of football in the next two weeks to avoid an 0-3 hole. I know how Brady looks washed but it’s two rookies + a nickel playing in a new spot trying to execute a zone vs Brady. With those weapons. This is the week to get a couple turnovers. Ben will hold the ball and try to make tight window throws. They’re executing the scheme well, time to break on some balls, get more tips etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chase Claypool looks good, but he’s a rookie, and if we can’t trust Ojemudia to compete a fellow rookie we got problems. Callahan as the #1 worries me a bit, JuJu could do well against him. The safeties will need to provide some help, hopefully we get Mark Barron back as well which would be a bonus as a cover LB to take Josey Jewell off the field on passing downs.

Friday seems to be the new crucial day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
