It will be awhile before we hear how long Woodbey will be out. Regardless I don't think it will be soon even if it's a calf pull. So a roster choice will need to be made.

Woodbey is toast, achilles.  Bye.  (No, I don't have inside info, but I'm calling it now.)

Our DL depth is anemic, put a DI there.  Though WILL depth is also anemic... you really want to have a NAT as the only backup at WILL?  Smith is being pegged more as a SAM, and Shay more as a MLB.  That means Shay is probably the best choice.  But clearly Mafia think he's not even close to ready yet.

I wonder whether Clinton was offered a spot on the PR and he declined. I can understand why a player might decline. However that does sort of fall into the FIFO theory.

It's rare anyone goes straight from their rookie camp to the AR or PR, especially at the packed LB positions.  What usually happens when a new kid flashes like Clinton is we invite them back for roster expansion and/or next TC.  Then they get a bit more cred.

We all liked that Clinton move chasing down Rourke.  But besides that did he do anything else of note at all all TC and PS?  Granted, if he was here chasing down VAJ this last game, that sure would have helped!

If JSK and Woodbey are season-ended, we totally have SMS to go after a couch vet.  Who's out there?  Also could eye a trade if other teams get double-whammied at a position like we just did.
