I know this will be discussed in threads elsewhere, but I think it deserves it's own: how huge is the Neal activation? And will he actually play tonight?
I think O-Line injuries may be the most overlooked in terms of importance. The downgrade from Brady to Cassell is obviously the biggest change from last year, but I have these memories of early in the season when Brady would just sit in the pocket patting the ball for what seemed like ages before picking apart the defense. I have a feeling that even Cassell would look good behind a line like that.
But the line really hasn't been the same this year. I don't know how much of it is because of Yates, but from my limited view he hasn't looked too good. Kaczur is still out, but I actually thought LeVoir played pretty well last week--maybe he's an improvement too.
And I haven't even mentioned the impact on the rushing offense--Neal's specialty is supposed to be pulling/running game.
Anyway, could this be fresh start we needed for the O-line to turn things around?
