    What was the injury to Colon? I didn't get to see the start of the game, was he injured early in the game? I noticed a definite drop-off in the O-line play without him.

    he had swelling of his knee since last week. from what i gathered, it was last minute. he was dressed and could have played in an emergency. i thought they said he did it sometime before.:cool:

    It was his knee. He missed practice Friday, but they thought he'd be OK to play. His knee was swelling just before the game, so Legursky took his place.

    I almost wish they would have experimented with moving Pouncey to guard for a few snaps and let Legursky be center. I just think Doug does better a center than he does at guard, he seems to struggle more when he is there.

    I was thinking that, too. Not about moving Pouncey out, but just how noticeable the dropoff in performance from Legs is when playing Guard as opposed to Center.
