i want the bartkowski thread back
Think they're gonna take Desharnais out and sub Forbort back in, moving Brannstrom to the right side.
I don't agree with that but I'm willing to give it a chance.

I'm okay with that if only to see whether Brannstrom can play on his off side. If he can, it lets us be a little more flexible on acquiring a LD or RD to, hopefully, push either one of Soucy/Myers down.

That’s what I see happening too.
Carolina is always a tough match up. Need to be ready for a full 60 against them.
If they're absolutely deadset on getting Forbort back in, this is the way to go. If Brannstrom looks as good on the right as he does the left, that's huge and gives us a lot of flexibility like BE said.

I don’t see why, desharnais has been excellent outside of one game
Overall, I was not impressed with last nights game.
We scored 4 goals while Pittsburgh imploded for 13 minutes but our defensive coverages were absolutely terrible. There were times we dominated 2-3 shifts but a bad defensive zone play kept screwing our momentum and gave them perfect scoring chances.
We play like that against any decent team we would have been blown out.

The yo-yo ing continues.

This is gonna be done like 40 times this year Lol
As it should! They should eke out whatever competitive advantage they could get. I'm glad to see them doing this cause they understand the compounding nature of every dollar by the time the deadline rolls around.
We're getting close to the end of Bains though with Joshua days away from returning and Forbort returning from leave.
Well, not really. As much as they can until Joshua returns and Brannstrom is still waiver exempt.
I will be very curious if they waive Aman or Juulsen instead and keep Bains. Then they can do this with Bains even after Joshua returns.

They have to find a way, to give Soucy-Myers easier matchups and delployments because they are getting crushed. To me it becoming clear that Myers can at least handle it Soucy can't and they need to find second pair LD at the deadline.

If Brannstrom can pair with Myers, having Soucy on the bottom pairing would be a pretty big win. He can certainly handle those matchups, at least one hopes. But it is more and more clear that we need to see an LD upgrade during the season to push everyone down a spot. Defensive depth is beyond necessary, so it isn't bad that we have the players we have, but right now this D-Corps won't get it done in the playoffs.

Hopefully that goal will allow Petey to get out of his head.
He needs to do more Ayahuasca than he's currently doing, but less Ayahuasca than Aaron Rodgers. It's a delicate balance.
