A win + Atlanta loss to DC + Miami loss to Orlando would get us a point away from a playoff birth.


If the scenario above did happen, even if we didn't get the one extra point, Atlanta would need to win out to get even on points and wins before it would be decided on GD. Also, Chicago and Montreal would also need 3 wins each in their last 5.

My mistake I meant can Egbo get a start over Tarek please. Or even Nellis even though he has made some brain farts as well.

Do you not like Duncan or are you just excited to see more of Egbo? I thought Duncan's done well lately.

I think Duncan and Pendant have been solid, just think they are limited going forward, but they have done their job on the defensive end.

With all the rotation going on in the lineup in every match its weird that Egbo was getting a run of matches at RB, even pushing Duncan to LB, and has now been phased out not getting a minute in the past 3 matches.

assuming still no Kaku or Casseres:

 

---------White

Stroud---Valot---Egbo

----Davis--Yearwood

Pendant--Long--Parker---Duncan

-------------Meara

 

Clark off the bench. I like him better as a 2nd half sub as he is a change of pace with his attacking mindset.  Royer off the bench too for squad rotation. Let Stroud play ugly for 55 mins.

[Egbo] has now been phased out not getting a minute in the past 3 matches.

I'm guessing that might be based on the lack of hustle on the Pellegrini goal.

Good point, but a 3 match benching is a little excessive, imo, so Im not sure thats entirely the reason.

However, Strubers system IS going to demand more from the players than weve seen since Jesse was in charge, so there is going to need to be 100% buy in.

Might be excessive but he constantly runs up the field only to jog back when the team loses possession
