Rogers injured surgically repaired shoulder

I agree here ... especially about Vollers ... that's who I'm pulling for to step up ...

When they say a guy is to valuable at two positions, to be a starter at one.

That means one thing and one thing only. He is not good enough to start at any position.

Do you really what Vollers to start for 16 games with Bledsoe in the pocket?

That situation will cost you 2 to 3 games alone.

We will bring someone in at RT. Count on it.

Right tackle is a position that can easily be seen by the quarterback ... it's not of near the importance of LT or LG ... this is a position that I think people are overreacting on ...

And I think Vollers could hold his own at that position ...

Tucker had some good games last year, but there where 2 or 3 games last year that he cost us in a big way.

You can rationalize how ever you like, One) Bledsoe is less mobile then VT, so it is a bigger problem. Two) Because of Rivera Vs Gurode will be less of a problem.

But the only way Bledsoe is successful this year is with a running game, and people or kept off of him. No way Vollers or Tucker at RT does not cost us 1 to 3 games this year.

Watch what happens to Farve this year with no O line. And while I am hoping for the best and believe if Bledsoe is protect he can be successful. Bledsoe aint no Farve.

RT is a problem. I strongly believe if the brain trust believes Rogers can not do 16 games someone will be brought in.

Nobody, in any sport, is less mobile than Vinny Testaverde.

Here is hoping you are not proven wrong this year. Bledsoe at this point is less mobile then Vinny. Watch some bills games.

I guess it is all relative, but if you keep defenders off of Drew he will do well enough, if he has to move at all, you will see a lot of people running the wrong way.

Parcells had better stop holding out hope for Rogers and start trying to find the answer at RT. if it's Petiti, Noll or Tucker fine. I'd rather they train Rogers on the 2nd team and spend most of the time working on the guy who has a chance of lasting the season.

Rogers would be great as Parcells' swing man until he can prove his shoulders aren't going to fail him at a crucial point in our season.

I understand your concern and I agree with a lot of your points, but you can't have stars everywhere ... and we have a lot of "stars" up on the line ... it's our bread and butter ...

I'm concerned, but not overly ...

I'd have no problem with them addressing this issue ...

The run game IMO will be fine though ...

I am only concered because of where we started. A couple of days ago when Spears got hurt everyone was in panic mode. How can we play 3-4 with out Spears. That injury actually concerned me less, because we had options.

RT was a problem before we knew Tucker had regressed and BP makes a claim Vollers is to valuable a back up to start at RT (i.e. not good enough). Now Rogers coming off a injury plagued College carrer, missed first year and now hurt in the first week.

This actual gives me more concern then a Spears injury. A weak position getting weaker.

Now, I will be the first to admit. I am not at trainning camp. I have no first hand knowledge. I gleam information from these camp reports like everyone else. So maybe Tucker or Vollers is 10% away from playing well.

But if Tucker gives up 3 sacks to a guy that better be the next Haley or there is a problem.

Vollers I have heard less about other then he is to valuable at backup. Generally that means not good enough. How far is he from being good enough. I am not sure.
