My two cents:

It's very clear that Jeff Weimer has earned the trust of the coaching staff and will likely continue to be Jaden Bray's replacement. However, keep an eye on Justin Smith-Brown. After his big 56-yard catch, that's going to get Rodriguez's attention and possibly push his snap count up starting next week against the Kansas Jayhawks.
