Man, we only have 3 OT on the team.
Pray. Just pray neither of them get hurt and miss time or the season is over - or worse that they BOTH need to be out at the same time.
Again - epic FAIL by the GM in this area.
EPIC.
FAIL.
It's not completely his fault that Marvel Smith decided to retire before the season started, is it?
No, but it's his fault for going after a guy with a bad back and assuming he would be the starter.
Which is fine after the fact, but it's like saying we shouldn't have drafted Gore because he was an injury risk or Rice because he had a slow 40 time. We had a shot at a pro-bowl RT who had injury concerns and we took it. It didn't work out this time, but this happens ALL THE TIME. Also, he wasn't assuming he was going to be the starter. Snyder has been the starter since Marvel even got here.
