It's August 4th, hardly time to go to the DEFCON scale at this point. We also don't know what the exact issue is. Tightness? Spasms?
We know McD will be very non-answery either way.
For as much flack as he gets, a lot of it deserved but it's the nature of his gig, Kiper did have JA in the conversation at #1 and other pundits thought he was nuts.
Right right...We'll cross the Morse bridge hopefully next year. At this point having Bates have the rotational ability makes the most sense (while he stays healthy from the sidelines knowing OL guys are going to get dinged up). Will be interesting if Shell is the defacto pressure/insurance on Brown at RT only.
I know it's been maybe even slightly belabored, but what if Torrence is just so nasty and strong it is going to be his job and Bates is backup #1 for any of the spots across the oline?
