'Just a luxury'??? You must be joking!

We don't have McKenzie ( Maybe by mid-season )
Deuce is not ready ( He should recuperate for a year )
Eric Johnson just had a knee scoped.
Miller can't block
Porter is a rookie
Glenn is ancient
Usama needs veteran coaching ( gets lost out on the field )
Jason David was a very big mistake ( Cover 2 corner with safety support )
Bullocks and Harper need better coaching ( they tend to be out of position )

I do like PT ( he is our Westbrook ) But even Westbrook is not a bruiser.
So we have 2 Westbrook's, Reggie and PT.
We need a beast who can stay on the field to run out the clock once we get a lead in the 4th quarter. ( See Eagles/Saints 06 )
We need a bruiser on 1st and goal to punch it in ( See Eagles/Saints 07 )

A beast can't be a beast on 2 bad knees just a couple of months after major surgery. This micro-fracture procedure requires substantial time to heal. One or two years to heal completely.
