I feel like what Zombo can do is more than what Walden can do, and we've seen just that. Hoping for So'oto is more blind faith for the unknown, imo. He may be able to provide some spark, but ultimately I think Zombo is our best option when healthy.

True, Neal may not be that effective, but I think he would be every bit as effective as Wynn if not more so if relatively healthy. There's a reason they have been holding a roster spot for this guy. The front office knows he has the talent to be a dynamic player. At this point, it's just about him staying healthy. Wynn and Wilson, while dependable, are hardly impact players.

Yeah, Neal's disruptive on the rare occasions he's healthy. I'd like to see him get into football shape for the playoffs.

At this point, take your damn time with him. Don't rush him. If he can't come back for another month, so be it. Do what it takes to get him healthy and (hopefully) able to contribute. Outside of a catastrophic injury, we will be in the playoffs. This is where we will need Neal the most. Do whatever it takes to make sure he's healthy by then. Anything beyond that is a complete bonus, in my opinion. Same for Clifton, really. Save him as valuable depth/potential starter for the playoffs. We can get by without them for now. It's not ideal, but would likely be worth it in the end, especially if their practicing a few weeks before the playoffs.
