Connolly has played well. I am ok with it at this point. More upset about Pryor.

From the (very) little research I did, it seems like the number of guys IR'd went up a bit last year league-wide, but in general the number has been fairly consistent.
Having said that, doesn't it SEEM like more players get hurt, and hurt seriously, now than they used to? This is based on nothing but a feeling, so I could be (and probably am) wrong. Just seems to me used to be it wasn't this endless thing every week where you held your breath and waited to see which guys would be out for the year. Really sucks.

I don't see Cannon playing Center.I wonder if Koppen means Cannon is progressing.
Hopefully, this is indirect good news per Dowling
Koppen = Starter
Pryor = Role Player
Yet you are more upset about losing the role player than the starter because the back up played well. I can see your logic (one player has been adequately replaced) I just dont agree with it.
I think we are deeper on Dline than the Oline (though that is getting tested with Wright out and Pryor now on IR).
I don't see Cannon playing Center.
Bad news that we are losing players, but you still have to play the game.
Really? I thought Garay dominated Connolly at times. Then again Koppen routinely got dominated by good DTs too.Ditto. Haven't seen any dropoff between Koppen and Connolly.

I believe Cannon can play center. Also, it also becomes a body count.
Getting him means you can be more secure with Connolly at center.
