But I think there’s been a quiet and strange solidification at RT with all the talk about the different line combinations the past couple days since the game, where Willis is getting all the reps at RT. I think he’s now going to be our RT. Which I am cool with. I am speculating that the team considers Locklear over him to be a wash, at best, and has concluded that Locklear either is needed at LT or he wins RG easily over Wrotto and Unger (who, we all saw, looked very good against the Chargers there).

All of which, sounds like a pretty livable solution to life without Walter Jones, but the depth is grave. We essentially only have the other two tackles, and what if either gets hurt?

So that sounds like we ought to be concerned. But on the other hand Walt’s got that kidney thing that keeps him from being able to take anything stronger then advil, and has played through a lot of painful injuries in the past, so those two factors combine to give adequate justification for him not practicing and precluding the lack of practice to be indicting.

Mora essentially said, it’s only a problem if he still can’t practice, come the Wednesday before the St. Louis game (9/9/09, 23 days from now). I dunno if that’s a PR calm-down-the-public overstatement, but it gives perspective.
