Hopefully it's nothing that won't keep him out long. Many have questioned my opposition to SJD, particularly in a starting role. Well I've posted a clip where if you simply focus on #69 (SJD) you will see why. He's singled blocked by the C not an OG. Some may say he's stacking but that simply isn't the case. When the RB changes direction he never sheds the block. In each case he simply is released by the C. Worse yet he's moved off the LOS and even turned. No penetration at all. These aren't isolated cases. The occurred in every game. This is why even PFF was forced to grade Gaines higher than SJD.
Michael Hoecht who has just returned to the team at 6'4" 310 lbs certainly can play a 1T and IMO play it better than Day. He's stronger, and quicker than SJD and between him and Gaines could easily fill that position. It's the kind of play illustrated in the clip which convinced the Rams to sign Robinson as a clear huge upgrade at NT.
