Dispelling the myth that we have to cut Cyrus Gray or Devon Wylie

We're set to go. I'm not worried about injury problems with this offensive line. We'll take a step back, but that's to be expected with ANY injury.

I don't like the idea of playing Lilja at center.

He's already declining inplay at guard, and there's no way in hell he takes on the added responsibility of center and doesn't hurt this line's overall play more than a dedicated backup center.

I'd rather just cut Lilja altogether, go with rookie Jeff Allen at guard, and keep both Daryl Harris and Rob Bruggeman on this roster as depth, since both can play both center and guard.
