Frazer game time decision -- Edsall speaks on Cuse

Info tough to come by this Thursday.

Zach Frazer is a gametime decision on Saturday. Every question on Frazer and the QB play was answered with "Zach Frazer is a gametime decision," coach Randy Edsall.

Edsall wouldn't say much more than that.

What we didn't get an answer on whether Zach was medically cleared to practice and how much he has practiced. No answer on the question. Edsall wouldn't say how much Cody Endres has played with the No. 1s, and if Frazer is cleared to play, if he in fact will do so assuming he has had a shortened week of preparation.

It's worth noting that Zach has been in the film study and going to class which would indicate a less severe concussion, oops, "head injury."

Edsall doesn't lie, I can tell you that. He plays with degrees of the truth and is vague to create confusion and is rarely candid -- but he doesn't tell flat out lies. If Frazer is a gametime decision, then I honestly believe there is still a chance Frazer could play.

My gut? This is what blog is for right? If I had a gun to my head --- Cody Endres.

Edsall is a creature of preparation, if Frazer hasn't prepared, even if he is cleared to play, Edsall will go with Endres. So, all signs point to Endres, but it's frustratingly murky for reporters.

Also, a New York Times story today linked Edsall to Syracuse and says he has been contacted about the opening (wait, soon to be opening in the worst kept secret in the country) up at his alma mater.

Edsall was angry about this one:

"I don’t deal in speculation. I want you and everyone to know that I haven’t been in contact by any college, university, NFL or people about any job. End of story.”

Lastly, DT Brandon Dillon is out, and RB Nate Sheer is also out. Sheer is a third string long snapper.
