DQ did not rule out Tru, but pretty sure he and Antone won't play.Jeanna @jeannathomas 17m17 minutes agoFreeman, Tevin, Reed essentially game time decisions.

hjerry Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 vaughn mcclure @vxmcclure23 2m2 minutes agoDesmond Trufant ran on side field today still recovering from shoulder strain. Although he was not ruled out vs. Jets, don't see him playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-dawg Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Konz is likely to be toast. He was already behind the 8-ball when this off-season began because the "safe haven" of being Dimitroff's boy from 2nd round pick in 2012 has now worn-off. Quinn has final say on the 53-man roster and Konz has done nothing in off-season to distinguish himself and he has no good tape - now he's hurt.

Lornoth Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Feel bad for Konz. This was his last chance and now injuries will probably be the last nail in his coffin. Oh well though.Personally I hope Free and Teco don't play friday. Give them one more week, just to be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has had several chances and has not taken advantage of them - he came into the NFL unprepared and has had 3 seasons to raise the bar to meet the standard - yet he has failed every time.

hjerry Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 vaughn mcclure @vxmcclure23 3m3 minutes agoDon't think the QB order will change Friday despite the mixing and matching with Yates and Renfree at practice. Ryan expected to play more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanhino Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 What a disappointment in Konz. He had such a great college career at Wisconsin. It just goes to show that college greatness doesn't always translate to the pros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-dawg Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 What a disappointment in Konz. He had such a great college career at Wisconsin. It just goes to show that college greatness doesn't always translate to the pros.the two biggest busts out of that program are Rich Carimi and Peter Konz. Dimitroff said if he would not have traded up for Julio he would have taken Carimi w/ 1st round pick. Then we take Dez Southward. Maybe we should stop drafting Wisconsin players, LOL - there have been good ones but we don't seem to take the right ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just goes to show that college greatness doesn't always translate to the pros.Maybe it was the guards playing next to him that made him look good in college? either way he is a huge whiff for Dimitroff, can't wait to see him hit the waiver wire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjerry Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 vaughn mcclure @vxmcclure23 3m3 minutes agoAntone Smith (hamstring) not playing tomorrow. Like I said, don't expect Trufant (shoulder) to play, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a massive frame for the center position but has impressive knee bend, which allows him to play the position effectively. He made all the calls at the line and was the centerpiece of a dominant Wisconsin line loaded with NFL size and talent.Konz looks natural sitting in his stance and swiveling his head to make all the line calls, which is impressive given his uncommon height. He is a smooth athlete who has demonstrated the ability to uncoil his hips into defenders and blow them back to create quick holes in the run game. Konz is a smart player who picks up stunts well and uses his strength and anchor to sit and stall any oncoming bull rushers. He is comfortable to work in fluid motion with his guards when pulling and sealing. He has all the tools to be an elite center for years to come.Even though Konz has good flexibility, defenders will be able to out-leverage him at the point given his size. He can get stunned by quick bull rushes at the point and has a difficult time resetting his feet afterwards. While he is an effective short-area mover he looks limited and rigid when moving in space or downfield." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we should stop drafting Wisconsin players, LOL - there have been good ones but we don't seem to take the right ones.To be fair, Gabe Carimi looked alright his rookie year before the Saints bountygated him and destroyed his career.Konz was already playing on our 3rd string o-line before this injury. I think he had no chance even if he had stayed healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
