74-yard TD? Was it a bomb or after the catch?

Who does this (besides Graham)?

Short catch on the sideline and then outran everyone to the endzone.

 

[bucsbaby]

The guy has looked like a beast out there since week 1. Fast, strong, hard to bring down, great hands. Fun player to watch.

This one was all Julius Thomas. Pass couldn't have been longer than 6-8 yards and then he curled it up along the sideline and took it another 65-70 yards. Someone made a good block near the sideline (can't remember who, I was watching JT's feet next to the sideline) but Julius showed some good Long speed on this play

Agreed. I don't get the criticisms of his athleticism. He might not be skying for fades like Cameron, but he does other things better that Cameron can't do--like outrun a defense for a 74 yard TD down the sideline.

Decker for the block.

 

[tdhartis]

It was impressive. Very few TEs could have turned that into a TD. Vernon, Graham, and Gronk come to mind.

 

[purestrength]

Looking like a top-three TE for 2013.

Oh wait, I forgot there are too many mouths to feed in Denver.

 

[TheFanatic]

My only other option at TE plays at 12. And Eifert is not a good option. I'm rolling with him

Eifert is actually a pretty good option this week with Greshman out IMO.

Eifert x 2

Good call guys. I went with Eifert, and luckily it didn't hurt me. Shoulda gone with my gut...

 

[dkp993]

Funny thing was on that play I though it was D Thomas not Julius. Crazy how athletic that guy is (both really),

 

[TakiToki]

I think Julius is the only one to score there. Graham and Gronk get run down, and Vernon steps out of bounds in the tip-toe portion.

Rotoworld:

Julius Thomas (ankle) is practicing in full this week.

Thomas is over the ankle injury he suffered in Week 8, as evidenced by his three catches for 96 yards and a touchdown last Sunday. He remains an elite TE1 play every week. The Chiefs are up next for Orange Julius.

 

[Sinn Fein]

In case anyone needs a big game from him, I just benched him for Gronk. I expect Orange Julius to have a monster game as a result.

I am starting julius and going against Gronk so I hope this goes poorly for you.

Nice try, but a mere reverse jinx won't work on the likes of JT.

If you have seen all the poor (in retrospect) line-up choices I have made the last few weeks, you would understand this is probably just another in a long-list of blunders.

 

[flapgreen]

Come on 2 more tds!

 

[SameSongNDance]

JT

 

[The General]

Come on JT, let's see you back out on the field.

 

[SameSongNDance]

I believe JT came back in but then came out again.

 

[Jersey]

He is back on the field Whew !!

 

[need2know]

He is back on the field Whew !!

really I havent seen him....

 

[SameSongNDance]

He is back on the field Whew !!

really I havent seen him....

He went in and out again haha.

 

[flapgreen]

Nope

 

[The General]

He is back on the field Whew !!

He was on for at least a play then back off again.

 

[Jersey]

He was in on the first play of that drive, but was not seen again after that .

 

[need2know]

they will prob just keep him out with the game in hand. must not be that bad

 

[SameSongNDance]

Yeah, I could see them just leaving Dreessen in for the remainder as they run out the clock. I'm sure he'll be good to go next week.

 

[BigSteelThrill]

He came in and was having an issue with it. After his single play, in which he was moving gingerly, he could be seen flexing, bending, testing and grimacing. Then left game for final time.

 

[BearsFan4Life]

Hoping you are correct ....I need him back for this week with DJax and McCoy on a bye ..with Reed suffering a concussion I am hurting at TE all of a sudden

 

[Raider Nation]

Knee sprain. Day-to-day.

 

[The General]

Knee sprain. Day-to-day.

Nice. Hopefully we get a Probable tag on him by Friday.

 

[ImTheScientist]

Knee sprain. Day-to-day.

link?

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Pretty dirty play he was hurt on if anyone has the video of it.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Pretty dirty play he was hurt on if anyone has the video of it.

i thought so, too, as the defender was going low for the knee before the ball even got there, but this is what we get now with the officials told to throw flags any time you get near the head of an offensive player.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

I saw it live, don't have a replay, but I don't think it was dirty. Looked like he got his foot caught is what caused the knee to hyperextend. Just one of those plays where a lot happens in a millisecond of time. It looked bad on tape, but it was nice to see him be able to take another snap before leaving.

 

[Raider Nation]

Knee sprain. Day-to-day.

Pretty sure I'm trustworthy.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

good enuf for me

[Plorfu]

Naturally, it's a Sunday Night game this week. Are we all stashing Dreessen just to be safe? It's tough for me to find room but I just may have to.

This is what I will be doing unless somehow the news gets more concrete throughout the week.

Dressen is not completely awful.

 

[TartanLion]

How much chance is there that Dreessen steps in and properly replaces Thomas' production ? I remember he got a TD a couple of weeks back when Thomas had to come off the pitch with that ankle injury.

 

[Ghost Rider]

How much chance is there that Dreessen steps in and properly replaces Thomas' production ?

Very little. He might get a short yardage score and a couple catches, but his upside is very limited.

 

[shadyridr]

Dobson is my JT replacement. But who will be my Reed replacement

 

[BearsFan4Life]

Dobson is my JT replacement. But who will be my Reed replacement

Same boat with JT and Reed ...also missing McCoy and DJackson on byes so I am rolling out Stafford, Mathews, Vereen, Decker and both JT and Reed if they play ..... If both do not play I guess I am going TRich and trying to get GGraham off Waivers

 

[need2know]

How good do we feel about jt playing? Trying to decide if I need to roster another te

 

[Hoss Style]

Local news still saying "day to day."

 

[need2know]

Guess the practice report will be kind of telling

 

[Hoss Style]

If Welker's out then JT might be relied upon more. But I also heard that Welker's on track to play, too. Nothing set in stone for either of them yet, though.
