    Thought it was a 4 game timeout?

    Kalil struggling makes it look likely.

    Fox was non-commital on Bridges return, saying they have a few days to determine his status once coming off the suspension. Fox plans to use those days.

    on first thought, I'm going to guess yes. We can use his experience. Though Atlanta is light up front, and kinda weak, but has good linebacking; to be honest, Kalil may be the better choice from a matchup standpoint because he's a better reach for the second level guy.

    Okay, I have wanted Kalil to sit and learn from the start so I'm biased but I think he needs to sit as soon as Bridges is ready to go. IMO his play has not earned the starting gig. No shame in it nor does it make him a bad pick, it's just that we need the guys who are best right now on the field and I don't think he is one of them.

    That said I believe his short time as a starter will be a big help to him when his time comes.

    He seemed to play pretty well the first game. Have we considered the possibility that Okoye is just damn good? He was the 10th overall pick, after all.

    Point for you, that is possible. Seeing Okoye how does against known quantities will tell us how good.

    Plus Kalil has never played guard before. He obviously got punked, I just don't know that Todd Bridges is an improvement.
