Steve Reed reports Kemo likely won't play

This could be mind games. However, at least Jacobs isn't 100% and Ward is hardly a power back. I think we'll have more pressure with Johnson or Brayton in at DT so it may even out. The LB's are going to have to step up though to help in the run game. I'm not worried about Vincent if he can't go, we have capable backups this year that can fill in, but hopefully he can go. NYG's passing game isn't that deadly so it should free up the LB's to play run.

Not good news.

I got this yesterday and was too depressed to post it. This definitly sucks because O'Hara is a good center. Decent size at 6'3" and 303 lbs.

If the team adjusts, you might expect to see more line stunting to make up for his absence.

Don't forget back in 2005 Jenkins went down and this same worry came up but Carstens stepped in and that team went all the way to the NFCCG. Gibson and Walker might not be as big as Kemo but Carstens wasn't as big as Jenkins and he did fine.

This is totally based on the fact that he did not practice yesterday....nothing more.

Bad news that he won't play but good news that we know now and can hopefully make some adjustments to the scheme.

Might see more line stunts, disguised blitzes, etc.

Honestly, going eight in the box was a real possibility even with Kemo in there.

It really suck he isn't playing. Whoever play in his place, wheter it Gibson or Johnson or whoever, they really need to step it up big time. This is the big game against the Giants & they need to work hard to win it all.
