ZT said "Out a couple weeks nothing overly concerning." Saying 'out until training camp' feels a little disingenuous. The dude is a vet I'm sure any sign of a bump or bruise and he's taking the cautious route. Hell, Trey Hendrickson didn't even show up to these practices. All the 'here we go..' comments are just dumb.
JJ22 overreacting to something relatively minor in the offseason? Certainly never seen that before… :ninja:

No need to lose your mind. If it was a regular season game he’d probably play
I really do think we are the only fanbase who starts doom and glooming over a vet sitting out some OTA practices for a minor issue. Kinda exhausting hopefully more years of sustained success will stop the sky is falling crowd.

Isn't this the guy that played with the broken leg?? I'm not too worried about him playing, but it wouldn't hurt to keep an eye and other teams cuts for depth.

Spain would probably only cost $1-1.5 mil too. Just sayin. Always nice to have insurance. Cappa goes down and we have questions at both guard spots. It’s a long season and anything can happen
Spot on. This gets the young talent many more snaps and as long as Cappa is ready to go come TC we should be okay.
Still, think we will bring in somebody for competition after this news. Also like our UDFA's in Ben Brown and Reese but we need
a Veteran after this more than just rookies and second year players.

Also, Zac confirmed that all players currently rehabbing should be back in time for training camp. That includes Higgins and Wilson as well as Ossai
Gaillard has been in the league 3 years and hasnt done much. Brown doesn't really fit our wide scheme, but he is a very good player and without an injury would had been drafted in the mid-rounds, IMO. Also Brown can play G & C, could be a viable replacement for both Adeniji and Hill if necessary.

Feel the same about both players. I like Ben Brown better than Gaillard as well.

What Spain said after the Superbowl might have taken him out of our thoughts. He was acting like he had no part in the last
play. Said "don't look at me" as if the rest of the OL was to blame. Sure, they were as well but to take no responsibility for your
own poor play was highly suspect. Plus he might want too much and he is coming off injury.
Maybe we ought to be looking at another OL other than either Tretter or Spain.

Who's the one Bfine always talks about ? I forget his name ? Hell him, anybody. Just get another experienced vet in here.

Really the only one I'm stumped for lately is Ereck Flowers. Dude was a 1st RD bust as an LT, but fares pretty well in the interior.
Hell, I'd bring T-Hop back. He was garbage at the start of the year, but he seemed to improve as the season went on.

Sounds good to me Ereck and Hop and we have interior vet backups.
Hop was injured when he played like garbage as well, always have to take that into account.
