Champ will play even with a bone chip in his left wrist and a sprained shoulder.

Hopefully it won't affect him much. Luckily he's not going against a top-flight WR this week.

[Patrick]

We are starting to accumulate alot of nicks / bruises.

David Patten, the Pats WR, is also nicked up and will play.

Agreed Patrick. We seem to have alot of little nagging things, Jacobs, Smoot, Bailey, Haley, Ramsey, but fortunately, no biggies.

Champ has to step back up this week by shutting down his guy(s) and possibly forcing a turnover from the secondary. We need our big guys to make big plays this week. Champ included. As far as last week goes, I will say that Toomer is one heck of a WR , very underrated. Champ will erase him next time.

I agree Hailyeah. Toomer is VERY underrated. (Even among the FF crowd)

But yes...Champ needs to shut down Troy Brown. Brown only has 9 receptions for 69 yards in 3 games, including only ONE reception last week against a banged up Jet's secondary.

Smoot also needs to concentrate on David Patten. (Banged up or not) Remember, it was PAtten who burned us for an 85 yard TD in the preseason.

Don't forget the poor execution on that blitz from the secondary, Brady having about 10 seconds to throw, and oh yeah, Terrell falling down on the play. I remember it as if it were yesterday.....
