I saw him in the huddle between plays but when they lined up I just saw a C with a number ending with 0 so I just figured Kreutz was in and kept asking my buddy where the Fbomb de la Puenta was lining up.

No practice, Drew in the shotgun and no bad snaps? There is a God.
Give this man a game ball.

After the game I heard that two OL were injured and was surprised. I knew that Strief was injured but had no idea that Kreutz was out. The starting Center was out and I didn't even know it.

Did anyone see the Cowboys/Redskins game? The Center and QB exchange between Romo and his Center was awful. I don't know how the Cowboys won that terrible game.

de la Puente has a much bigger fan base now.

De La Puenta guys... not Puente.

Shame really cos I coulda made a joke about a bridge etc.......

This is the same guy that was getting embarrassed by backups in the preseason games? Good for him, hope he continues to play at a high level because we need the OL to open up some holes.
