Hmm, something to think about.

Torrin Tucker came in the game last week without ANY experience at LT in a game. He didnt give up a sack and did OK when he was in. I have to believe that if he gets all the first team reps and Parcells prepares him well that he will not be a major dropoff from Flo.

Also, people are complaining about how we will have to use two TEs to help both of the OTs. Think about this. We run with one back and one TE. One TE helps Torrin and the back goes and chips with Rob. That leaves 3 WRs to go out for routes. That wont be a big dropoff in production. If we had to leave one of our OTs alone why not let it be Rob? He has shown that he can handle it.

add to that the fact that we have productivity from the TE position with Witten- not too shabby that he has at least 250 yards rec this season.

yes, tucker was playing left tackle and we had a couple of nice drives, and he was in when we moved down the field in overtime for the winning FG.

of course it was either he or Allen that missed Griesen blitzing and cost us some yards at a critical time, but that was also a good play by a good defensive player.

im of the oppinion that we will cont to move the ball well with tucker at LT and beat Seattle on the road to go to 5-2

This team will survive without Flozell. I truly believe that Tucker can play up to his potential and fill that spot. Really, the problem now is there is no depth left on the offensive line. If anymore of the big men fall to an injury, there's no plan C (we're already on plan B).

I have to check Tivo, but I think it was Flo.

I would really like Tucker to step up and take the spot. Next year I want Flo' to know there's a player who can come out and replace him. As sad as this loss is, a Flozell Adams with a replacement in the wings will certainly be more aggressive.
