Was looking for some info on this. I know he is IR but so is DJ. Isnt the rule that only one guy can return from IR?

Why would Cards bring back Logan over Iupati? I dont even know who that dude is. Bring back Iupati and move Boone to RG and kick Behm out, that dude is a child.

Iupati is well past his prime now. Just can't stay healthy anymore.

Logan is supposed to be explosive

Iupati is 30 and that falls into the prime age for O-lineman. Injuries are the vagaries of a crash sport.

I just cant see what Logan has ever done or what would make us think he could have a major impact. No matter how much you dislike Iupati, the gap between him and Behm has to be significant.

A) Logan hasn't done anything because he's a rookie. But he maybthe only real answer as a returner threat.

B) if oline is chugging along like today (minus all the penalties) I don't think you mess with the chemistry (also Boehm isn't the starter anymore. Watford is)

Because TJ is an awesome return guy! You do realize we have the worst return games in the NFL right?

Unless there is a set back on #31 there's zero shot Iupati returns IMO

Ehh well kick returns are a thing if the past. Im sure we can find somebody to return punts, plenty of speed on hands on the roster. Id rather have a bulldozer in the run game and some more Oline depth. Its not close to me.

Did Logan exhibit some freakish return ability i missed?

Well it was like 3 or 4 returns, but yeah the difference he would make if he could return kicks like that would be far superior to the tiny if any improvement iupati would make.

I think this hypothetical is meaningless anyway because I don't believe iupati will be healthy at any point this season.

Yes, Logan did show freakish return ability. Watch his college tape, plus he had a couple nice ones preseason game 1.

I honestly think Iupati is a liability more than a threat nowadays. Pass-blocking is atrocious & he’s not even a good run blocker anymore.

I think it's just his name or something that makes ppl think he's good. Mike Iupati just sounds like a bruiser when you say it lol.

Could be right, all i know is the line is terrible now, and was fine last year. Not only that but DJ lead the league in yards from scrimmage and TDs I believe and this year the run game is 50ypg.

Iupati must have been doing something right.

It's not a question of Iupati coming back as a starter but rather would you want Boehm at right guard or Iupati if Watford was out
