News And Notes

Found out that Gaines Adams tipped pass was ruled a forced fumble, negating Hovan's first career pick, and turning it into a fumble recovery. But that also means that Gaines is now credited with a sack, giving him 3.5 sacks. He's third on the team behind White (4.5) and Haye (4.0).

Also, Pittman has now been ruled out for Sunday's game. To be honest, I don't think it affects us much, other than making Graham more prominent in the rushing game. I wasn't too fond of the amount of plays that went Pittman's way in Atlanta, as he was coming off a long layoff and just wasn't fully in it. So it could be a blessing in disguise, but who knows. Spires is still out, which I am actually grateful for, as this allows our young guys to keep getting a lot more playing time. This defensive line is starting to come together and they are making plays. Something I hadn't seen much from Spires this year.

Finally, June is still expected to start. Until the details come out of what he did, it's probably the right thing to do. If he's found guilty, he will be facing testing and a possible suspension., though I think his lack of a prior record may get him off anything serious.

Talking Plank is coming tomorrow.
