Possible replacements already on the roster: 2008 3rd round draft pick Chad Rinehart. Bugel and his staff keep raving about this guy every offseason but I haven't seen anything promising. Backup center, Will Montgomery played in Thomas's spot after he went out on Sunday and got blown up on a few occasions.
First name that comes to mind NOT on the roster is old Pete Kendell. He was on the roster the last few years at left guard but was replaced when the Skins brought back Dock. Seems like an old vet could make the switch from left guard to right guard pretty easily, especially since the Skins run left predominantly anyways.
Prominent names that are currently unemployed: Jason Fabini, Kwame Harris, Levi Jones, Matt Lehr, Edwin Mulitalo, Chris Naeole and Mark Tauscher. But don't forget there's a reason they're unemployed 2 weeks into the season.
It sucks that Randy Thomas wont be able to play, he was great! But maybe you're right, we need to revamp the team, but Kendall is not the person, we don't need anymore vets on the team. At the same time we don't want any rookies either. We need someone who know the position and is good, young and ready to play for the MIGHTY SKINS!
