Gah, i forgot about Thompson. I would not be surprised at all if they run with 4 RB's and Thompson is the 4th.

I think EB is in his corner.

They're probably still hoping for some kind of swap or trade for Thompson. They were clearly showcasing him. Maybe Wylie too.

That's true, but as you state, with our OL injuries, that would have been a luxury they couldn't afford.

I wonder if we end up keeping Buchele? That would be a surprise. Given Henne's age and the extreme value the league places on QB's, maybe they keep him around and groom him for a year for a true QB2 competition next offseason.

The Todd Collins of the future.

They probably think they can trade LDT, that or stick him on IR.

I'm sure they are going to attempt to keep him on the PS, if he makes it through waivers. He's got some nice tools, but he needs some serious seasoning before he ever see's the field. That's why Henne is such a great luxury. You hope you never need him, but in the event that you do, you know exactly what you are getting (in a good way).

Unsure of validity, but here we go:

Hopefully keeping Gore, Buchele, Powell & Key on the PS as the 4 "protected" players.

No big surprises other than possibly Thompson and Powell

I would call Shane Buechele a surprise

You think so? 3 QB's on the active roster? I think it'd be more of a surprise if he made the team.

I did think that. But maybe a good PS candidate

Absolutely

Was impressed by Gore and Bootle in preseason games so hopefully they will clear waivers and make it to the PS.
