Mike Dussault

As we not-so-patiently wait for the Albert Haynesworth deal to be finalized (no slam dunk in my opinion) we’ve been scanning the practice reports from this morning and there doesn’t look to be anything too exciting or revealing.

Mankins can’t practice until Friday.

Matt Light could be close to returning. This would be huge.

Nick Kaczur still MIA.

Mike Reiss has the rookie numbers. These are bound to change but my initial thoughts below.

2 – K Chris Koepplin – whatever
15 – QB Ryan Mallett – perfect
16 – WR Tyree Barnes – whatever
21 – CB Ras-I Dowling – like it, hope he keeps it
29 – RB Shane Vereen – not bad, but will he want 34 if Morris gets cut?
37 – RB Stevan Ridley – no no no. No one touches Rodney’s number yet.
41 – CB Malcolm Williams – fine
44 – FB Eric Kettani – wish someone else had 44, i’m sure someone will.
46 – LB Anthony Leonard – whatever
47 – LB/LS Ryan Coulson – whatever
48 – LB Jeff Tarpinian – why not
49 – OLB/DE Markell Carter – kinda like it, but not sure if he’d keep it.
60 – DL Aaron Lavarias  – wish Cannon had 60.
61 – OL Marcus Cannon – fine.
61 – DE Clay Nurse – sure
66 – OL Mike Berry – eh.
69 – DE Alex Silvestro – kind of perfect for him
69 – OL Corey Woods – whatevs
71 – OL Kyle Hix  – whatevs
74 – OT Nate Solder (same number as defender Kyle Love) : this’ll change, no coment
80 – TE Lee Smith – don’t like this at all.
81 – WR Jeremy Ross – whtevs
88 – TE Will Yeatman – give 88 to Lee Smith!
92 – DL Marcus Stroud – not any more. It will be Haynesworth’s.
