Fins' Brian Hartline misses practice




Could things get any worse for our passing game???

I predict a heavy dose of Reggie and Lamar. Along with some read option running from RT.

Moore & Matthews, one would think they are extremely excited and this is their chance to step up and shine. If Egnew is activated, I am predicting a seam pass down the middle for him and for a touchdown!

I predict a lot of two tightend sets with Fasano and Mastrud, as well as a lot of two and three back sets. We may not be deep at receiver, but we've still got three runningbacks who are capable of running a route. Meanwhile, like you said, the chance doesn't get any better for Moore and Matthews this week if Bess and Hartline aren't playing. Same goes for Binns, he'll likely see more playing time than he rightfully should. Does anyone know if we're planning on calling someone up from the practice squad like Fuller? This would be the perfect opportunity considering our dire situation.

Thank god, things were getting pretty ugly pretty quick. Our wideout group is bad enough. Take Bess out of the mix and it's even worse. Take away Hartline and it's downright ugly. I was afraid we were going to have to call up someone from the practice squad.

Here is the final injury report for this weeks game:

OUT
K Dan Carpenter (right groin) placed on IR
WR Davone Bess (back) did not practice
LB Koa Misi (ankle) did not practice

DOUBTFUL
None

QUESTIONABLE
DT Randy Starks (non-football) did not practice
WR Brian Hartline (back) was limited
CB Nolan Carroll (knee) was limited
TE Jeron Mastrud (hamstring) was limited

PROBABLE
WR Armon Binns (ankle) practiced in full
S Chris Clemons (neck/ribs) practiced in full
LB Karlos Dansby (biceps) practiced in full
DE Derrick Shelby (groin) practiced in full
S Jimmy Wilson (hip) practiced in full

I don't know if we're planning on starting Hartline or not. If he's truly in bad shape, we should consider calling someone up from the practice squad just in case. We'll need another receiver if Hartline should get re-injured during the game. Back injuries are a tricky thing.

We might possibly see a Egnew sighting in this game considering Clay is out for the season and Mastrud has a hammy. That leaves only Fasano and Egnew left. Fasano can't play ever snap. So either we're going to play an injured Mastrud, or give Egnew a look.
