Davjs pulled himself out of the game during the fourth quarter. He initially just seemed pissed off, but eventually he had them looking at one of his legs. I wouldn't be surprised if he is out for a while. It was hilarious, in an extremely annoying kind of way, to watch Shane Ray try to get to the bench for a breather a few plays later, only to be told he had to stay out there because there was no other defensive end available to spell him. Fortunately we still have Ealy, er, Polite, er, . . . grrr.
I doubt we will see any useable offensive tackles coming up here any time soon. Apart from QB, it is probably the scarcest commodity in football these days. And since NFL teams can now keep 70 men on the active and practice rosters, plus injury lists, and the XFL and USFL are also looking to sign guys, the days of excellent cuts coming north after Labour Day are basically gone.
