This long injury holdout might be a great excuse to work him into more of a supporting role. Our bye week is coming at a good time. We need to get back to creating at least moderate pass rush to be effective with the Defense we run. I had forgotten, Woodyard left the game as well. The D that was out there today was definitely hampered a bit and our DC floundered as he tried to adapt. I wouldn't be surprised if they hold him out next week and Del Rio creates a game plan without both of them.
