Dogs much stronger around the ball at the moment.  No clean ball out thrre
CC Jones off concussion.  Won't be back on. 

[pmac21]

 Can't see Balta or Lloyd out there

[mightytiges]

Chol needs to polish up picking the ball up at ground level on the run.

[pmac21]

Chol is no good.  Won't make it.  Fumbles and poor decision maker. 
Sorry to disappoint those hoping he would.
