It's hard to find any reason to be upset after last night's game, but if there's any place to be concerned, it's the O-Line. With David Andrews out for the season and Marcus Cannon possibly out for at least a period of time, we're thin on the line. So, what are the options?
One would seem to be to keep the improvised line with Jermaine Eluemunor at left guard and Joe Thuney staying at tackle. On one hand, they did fine for the time they were playing. On the other, it was limited to a few minutes of garbage time.
Another option would be to start Korey Cunningham at right tackle, moving Thuney back to left guard. This would be logical, but Cunningham has all of six NFL games under his belt and was expendable enough last night to be a healthy scratch.
They could re-sign Rusell Bodine and start him at center, moving Karras and Thuney back to their natural positions. Obvious downside here is that Karras did just fine at center last night and was originally believed to be a better option, since they cut Bodine instead of having him take Andrews' slot.
Maybe Cannon's injury isn't as bad as it looked, and he can come back, rendering this moot. But given the absence of cap space and low maneuverability post-AB, if Cannon is out for a while, we're going to need someone either inexperienced at their position or inexperienced in the NFL to step in. Protecting Brady is, of course, at least as important as ever as he gets older.
