MURTHA, JERRY and GARNER.
When JERRY filled in for LONG at LT, he did surprisingly well. As to MURTHA, the proverbial "light" seemed to go on for him in a big way against DETROIT the season before last. He owned the left side of DETROIT's "D", and we actually looked competent offensively. It's a shame that he had the preseason injury this past season. I would have liked to see how he would do...and besides, if he was MIAMI's RT, COLUMBO would never have played here!!!
I've been a fan of GARNER's ever since that game where both J BERGER and J GROVE both went down in the 1st Half. With only a "2 minute warning", GARNER came in to play C, and did VERY well. Do you even remember it? The 1st snap was a fumble. After that, PERFECT. Not only did GARNER execute his own blocking assignments well, but his "reads" were perfect, too. They say that he's super smart. I don't doubt it. He MADE THIS TEAM as CAREY's back-up at RT. He has played G and C well. He did NOT do well at LT. No matter: I'd leave backing up THAT position for either MURTHA or JERRY.
