Quote: Center Luke Bowanko (right ankle) said his postgame X-rays were negative. He was injured, returned and left for good. “No bones are in the wrong place,” he said. “It’s football, part of the game, and I wasn’t close to being the only one out there playing in discomfort. It hurts a lot less when you win the game.”

Linder had the best game of any linemen Sunday.  Says a lot since it was the groups best performance all year.

 

I like the players these guys are maturing into.  Anybody else agree?

 

Decent young group with room to grow.

 

Bowanko is really impressing.  You don't see many rookie Cs playing as well as he is no matter when you draft them.  There's a maturation process that they all go through.

 

One thing that does concern me with the OL youth is the upcoming rookie "wall" later in the season.

 

And the uneducated "line sux" and "regressing" comments that are sure to follow...
