With Neal hurt, Jenkins hurt, and Harrel Hurt/Out for the season/Whatever, it makes sense to sign a smaller DE type guy, not a NT, of which we have 2 very good ones. Now, i wouldn't be apposed to bringing in a guy like Toribo(sp?) if he's still available as i feel the overall depth is questionable there, but i just find it really hard to see the need for an NT being higher than a DE.

Speaking of Jenkins and Neal injuries are they going to be ready to go next week. I assume Jenkins will as he was playing still... what about Neal?

Jenkins has said he will play, and i dont really see why they wouldn't play him as he was back in and productive with the cast on. Having a cast isn't the worst thing in the world for a DE.

From what i've read, Neal looks unlikely to be ready to go, but that could change.


Won't know about DE Mike Neal and his availability until Wednesday. "With his injury, the type of injury, the ability to torque another player is a little bit of the last hurdle that he has to get over, and hes not quite there yet," said McCarthy.

The good news is that even if Neal doesn't play we should be fine with the guys we have since we are playing Buffalo. As long as the guys take this game seriously(which they will, since they weren't unstoppable last week) we should roll. I mean lets be honest playing Buffalo and their putrid O line is almost like Ohio St playing Marshall.

It just might be for someone who relies on using his hands to get past D-linemen, and for someone who hasn't exactly built up a reputation as a solid wrap-up tackler.

Let's remember, he suffered multiple fractures in that left arm.... he may have the cast on but no doubt he will be in discomfort.

Cullen can still be of major use in providing a pass-rush, but I wonder how much success he will have actually being able to sack the QB.

This is another situation where Ted Thompson will earn his money. Tough game for both sides.
