I looked at the title and THOUGHT it was a real injury...which was incredibly misleading...as all that is is just a possible wanting for that so he can be IRed...pretty poor..
And it is WAAAAAAAY past time for Simmons to announce his retirement.
Yes, that is another alternative.
Doesn't that leave us woefully thin on the interior of the O Line?
We usually carry 5 interior linemen and 4 tackles. We usually have at least one interior lineman on the Practice Squad.
CURRENTLY (the normal 9 on the 53-man squad plus one on the Practice Squad)
starters inside: Mankins, Koppen, Neal
backups inside: Connolly, Simmons and Ohrnberger
tackles: Light, Kaczur and Vollmer
practice squad: Wendell
ASSESSMENT
A) We have one more interior lineman than usual and one fewer tackle.
B) Losing Ohrnberger OR Simmons would not leave us short. We are fine with both being inactive at the same time. We usually have only one inactive interior lineman. Besides, we have Wendell on the Practice Squad. Wendell has been active before, when needed.
C) When LeVoir comes back, I expect us to waive a lineman or put one on IR. Obviously, we have carried ten OL's at times in the past, so it is not NECESSARY to reduce to nine.
Do you really feel comfortable with the thought of either Simmons or Connally on the field?
