Well, the off-season from Hell continues along it's merry way. First we have to dump Santonio Holmes for a bag of peanuts. Then Big Ben gets accused of getting frisky with a young co-ed complete with accounts of vaginal bruising which results in a 4-6 game suspension. Now Ben's sidekick, Willie Colon, has a torn Achilles and is likely out for the season. Frankly I can't wait for the season to begin. This off-season has been a nightmare of Bengalian proportions!No matter how you slice it, we've lost 3 starters from our last Super Bowl team for at least the first 4 games of the season, 2 of them for all of it. And that's not good.
Not that Wille Colon was some great Tackle, he wasn't. He was average on a good day. But he was arguably our second best offensive lineman. I don't see who can replace him among the candidates we have available. Someone will inevitably get the opportunity. And whoever that turns out to be, I hope he seizes the moment and puts a lock on the RT position. But really, that's just wishful June-football thinking.
As my friends will tell you I am fond of using the phrase "Every coin has two sides, and some have more than two." The sides I see are: The Bad Side where we have nobody to play RT in Colon's absence. And The Good Side where our false start penalties have immediately been cut in half!
Please let the games begin. I can't take much more off-season bad news.

I got a bad feeling about this year. And almost all the wounds are self-inflicted.
