(Who starts at RT vs the Lions?)
Oh man, I don't have an answer for that. Right now, Boudreau is trying to find the right combination of players. Ojinnaka's been at right tackle, now he's at left today; Mattison was at right guard, now he's at left guard; Rok Watkins is now at right guard ... the only guys that are stable is Turner at center and Harvey Dahl at the Right Guard, so, they're one injury away from really shuffling things around, and I think they're trying to prepare for that now.
(On Wells. Do you know if this is his first surgery?)
That I cannot tell you. They're not talking surgery, they're talking about a surgical knee procedure. If you're referring to while he was in Green Bay, I don't know. Obviously he missed all of OTAs and minicamps. I saw him with Reggie working on the bag, on bands, they're moving him - moving his feet. The window of opportunity is the 2nd or 3rd game of preseason, so hopefully that'll be it.
(The 1999 Championship team had 18 undrafted free agents)
We did the same thing at Carolina. You have to hit on 3 or 4 of those guys. We've hit on some. A guy who really jumps out at me here is Sammy Brown. Long levers, very good laterally, but I haven't seen the physicality because they haven't been tackling. He moves around, good instincts, and I think he'll be one of those guys who blows up everything in his way.
(On Conrath - DT)
The one thing about him, he lacks girth. He's too tall I think to be in here. I like his frame, I like his get-off because it's low, but then he exposes his pads and he gets knocked back against double-teams. But he worked against Long, so maybe they see something a little different than I do. Solid effort, he's gonna give you 100%
(On Hoffman-Ellis)
He had 4 ints at Washington State. Good instincts over the middle. Another guy I'd like to see on special teams.
(On Jason Smith - if he's healthy, how can he not be the starter week 1?)
You know what? He's healthy now, and and and Chris Long is taking advantage of him on every play. He can't block him inside, outside, and you know what? It doesn't matter who they line up over Chris. But for me, grab him, hold him, whatever you gotta do ... but it's embarrassing how he's getting in that backfield too early and too fast. Neither one of these guys (Richardson/Smith) are playing worth a you-know-what right now.
