If anybody who watched PC and Bevell's Wednesday press conferences didn't see the added concern in both of there eyes while fielding questions about how to deal with Cushing, Watt, and Houston's DL in general, they need to watch again.
You 'next man up' on OL as a last resort against this particular opponent. Yeah, Breno has pretty much peaked, but at this point he's seen WAY more looks from opposing D's in actual game situations, not to mention a certain chemistry with the guys playing next to him. That might be enough to tread water against these dudes... Bowie's definitely got more upside, but I'm afraid he'd be 6ft under at this point. #3 is a tough li'l varmit that can endure a beating, but even dudes with badger-like builds can only take so much.
Best possible situation is to do as we've been doing. Give Bowie and Bailey their PT when we have a sizeable lead. How cool would it be to put a Brady-like beating on these cow skulls, then let #7 and crew play clean-up? One can dream, eh? I'm pretty sure Breno will be ready for this game regardless. He might even persuade a few of those dudes to gift us some 'bonus' yards.
